Hey guys!! 
well, jennifer michelle came into the
world on 19th november at 4.25pm, weighing
in at 5lbs 1oz.
I went to be induced last friday, but they
didn't give me the first dose of the gel
until saturday afternoon. My contractions
started pretty soon after that, but by the
evening I was only 1cm dilated and they
weren't getting much stronger. Early
sunday morning they gave me the second
dose of the gel and things got going
straight away.. My contractions were
really strong and I was finding it hard to
cope with the pain, and to make it worse I
had to stay strapped to the ctg monitor so
I was confined to my bed.
At 12.50pm I was examined and I was 3cm
dilated (at last!) so they decided to
break my waters. They did that at about
3pm, and straight away my contractions
became stronger. I'd been using gas and
air up until that point, but it was losing
its effectiveness so I asked for
pethidine. Apparently soon after that I
turned to my sister and said "i love
pethidine.. It's great" in a slurred
drunken voice. (i don't remember that
bit..)
well at about 4.15 I felt lots of pressure
down below and the midwife made me lie on
my side to be examined.. But that hurt so
much I rolled back over and then she
realised I was ready to push. It only
took 5 or 6 contractions to push her out,
but because it happened so fast I tore
very badly. I suffered a third degree
tear, and as soon as she was born I had to
be taken to theatre. I was in there 2
hours being stitched up.
Jenny is absolutely beautiful, she's so
tiny. She has an extra thumb on her right
hand.. Which came as a bit of a shock..
I was holding her little hand and realised
there was 6 fingers gripping onto mine!
She'll have to have it removed when she's
a bit older.. But for now it just makes
her more special.
So here are lots of pics!
sorry I haven't posted sooner, i'm having
problems with this forum.. It won't load
properly.. I hope this works ok!

idea she was going to have an extra
finger?

Oh my .God! Zanny! I've been wondering
about you! I'm so glad everything went
ok- minus the 3rd degree tear. Jennifer
is so gorgeous, just like .I suspected!
Congrats! How are you holding up?

you can spoil and love her! I hope that
her .Daddy made it in time for you both I

just a beautiful doll! You look great for
someone that has just given birth sorry to
hear that you tore so bad! Hope you heal
fast!

Thanks guys! I can't get over how perfect
she is. I'm holding up pretty well..
Jonny got here on saturday evening and
he's staying for another week which is
fab.. I love having him here.
Jenny has trouble breastfeeding because
she's so small, so I have to express my
milk for her.. Which means .Jonny can
help feed her too.
Yeah I had no idea she'd have an extra
finger.. It was a surprise to say the
least! I love it though, she's a special
little baba!

Zanny! She's so precious!!!
I'm so sorry to hear about your tear. I
tore too because I pushed too hard/too
fast, but my tear was only a second degree
tear.
Do they know what happened with her? Was
your placenta not working properly?
Congratulations hon!
