Welcome Daisy-Ann

Evening all,

Well my little angel finally arrived at 14:54pm on the 17th May 2010.
labour started at 2:45 sunday morning, that was after 2 tablets, but it not known as active labour til u r 4 cm dialated. 3rd tab given and labour came thick and fast. by 2pm monday i was fully dialated. they started me pushing about 2.30pm, her head crowned fine, but then doc screamed, we need to get this baby out NOW, her heart rate had dropped to 40 from 170, with that i dont remember much more until i see her out and taken away to the corner of the room, she was being ressuitated (sp) her cord had been tight around her throat and she had pooed in my womb and swallowed some, prob is poo is very toxic. whilst they was all sorting baby out doc was screaming again she needs help, mum tells me that was cos i was pumping blood everywhere, doc was worried she was going to lose me. finally help came and i was being fixed, i dont remember any of that all i remember doing is screaming why aint my baby crying, why cant i hold her. (sorry lots of tears as i am typing this )
she was then rushed away from the room.
doc stitched me up, and made sure i was comfortable. they removed epidural but i couldnt go see my baby, finally 6 hours later i was allowed to go they did let me try 2 hours before but i got rushed back cos i was throwing up.
everyday since she has improved, she gets stronger.
She is now feeding every 4 hours on her own, and has managed to gain weight. She finishes her antibiotics tomorrow so hopefully she will be home then. If not it will be tuesday.

Here are some piccies:



Thanks for looking.
