LABOUR STORY:
Started having contractions at about half 2 Wednesday morning, they got intense by about 5 and were 3-4 minutes apart. Called birth centre which I was going to b cause of my low risk pregnancy.
Got there around half 5, they examine me and was around 4cm, got In the birthing pool at 7 for 3 hours coping on gas and air they examine me again and I was 6cm! But the pain got too intense and it was because I was having back to back contractions, so I opted for a epidural, it took them three times to get it in the correct space and going through with back to back contractions at the same time was horrendous.
Anyway as an hour passed the epidural kicked in. They examined me 4 hours later and I didn't progress so was sent for an emergency scan, which showed baby positioning wasn't good and that's why I wasn't progressing.
They put me on a hormone drip to try get me too have stronger contractions , paracetamol they also hooked into me because my temp was sky rocketing.
Then after half hour they noticed baby heartbeat dropped every time I got a contraction, had about 6 doctors run in at that point pin my legs up and took blood from babies head as they were worried about the cord being around his neck and him not getting any oxygen; thankfully the results came back fine. But because his heartbeat kept dropping they had to give me the decision to go down to theatre and try help him out, they rushed me down at half 7 set me all up, put even more epidural fluid into me(couldn't feel a thing) literally about 10 doctors around and as I do I panicked!! Anyway I had too have forceps and a episiotomy and by 8pm he was out!! Bled quite a lot and stitching is very bad. I'm now very sore, but I have my boy and he was worth all off it. 👶🏼💙
Sorry if I scared anyone, it's mad too think how labour goes to the way you plan! 😳
