My birth story
**do not read if your screamish or scared about labour**
3 weeks ago I had my little boy, I was induced due to reduced movements, the pessarys did not work very well, sweep also was ineffective and ended up being moved to the consultant led unit and had my waters broke even though I was only 1cm....nothing was happening so they put me on the drip and ended up over stimulating me so my contractions were coming but never easing off! I had gas and air and ended up having a shot of morphine so I could sleep between contractions when they turned the drip down, I kept pulling the straps off that measure the contractions and the babys heart rate so they put a clip on babys head, When the morphine had worn off a bit I was in agony and had a emence urge to push, they examined me and said that one side of my cervix was fully dialated whilst the other was stuck at 6cm they told me to role onto the other side to try even it out....when i eventually managed to get onto the other side my babys heart beat dropped and wasnt recovering so they pulled the emergency button and half the hospital was in my room in seconds! they took half the bed away and i ended up having emergency forcep delivery...my son had the cord wrapped firmly round his neck hence the reduced movements and hence the dip in his heart rate during contractions, wasnt till after that I discovered I had tore inside, outside and was cut further, the lady stitching me up was down there a good 45 mins! I kept the gas and air as she thought id had an epidural and was stiching me without anesthetic till the adrenaline wore off and I said something to her, in the end the anesthetic she injected didnt bloody work anyway!😂 After such a horrible labour I can say that all the pain was totally worth having my lil boy here safely!
