at 34 weeks i was getting some mild contractions and went to the gp who sent me up to the birth suite just to get a check i got to the birth suite and they put me on the CTG and checked my blood pressure (due to pre eclampsia in my last pregnancy) then said ok now ill be back in 20 mins to check how that is going 5 mins after he left the room i got a huge contractions that bought me to tears then every 5 mins after that they just kept coming he finally came back and i asked for a hot pack he said are you ok seeing that i was ballin my eyes out i told him what was going on and he immediately got me a hot pack and went and got the portable ultrasound machine he did a scan of my tummy to find bubbas bottom way way down in my pelvis he then called the OB to come and have a look the Ob came in and had a look and immediately started explaining all the risks of breech delivery and telling me it is much safer to have a c section i said what ever needs to be done i then called my hubby and told him to hurry to the hospi as i was so scared he got there and saw how painfull my contrations were and then im pretty sure he was a bit worried to the doctor came in and said he was a bit worried about bub as his heart rate shotting right up with contractions but we would keep going and see what was going on they then sent me for a full ultrasound and i made them give me the portable gas to take with me in that scan it showed bubs was still way down in my pelvis but my cervix wasnt opening so they started giving me tablets to try and stop my labour and also a pethadine injection a morphene injection and steroid injection for bubs lungs after about 17 hours it had all stopped did another scan bub had pulled his bottom out of my pelvis and i was taken to the ward to sleep they kpet giving me the pills to stop labour but they made my heart race i felt like i was going to have a heart attack all the time so i refused to keep taking them and thank goodness everything was ok. i went home after 3 nights in the hospital and everything seemed ok for a while then i kept getting what i felt were contractions and would wait til they were really close together and then head up to the hospital where they would say it was faulse labour as they would stop on their own but i knew something was going on so that went on for weeks and weeks my due date the 30th of march came and went and 2 days after i had an antenatal appointment she told me they were so busy i had no chance of induction until i was 10 days over i was begging for induction as my hips and back were killing me she then did a VE and said " oh hunny you wont need any help im sure you will go on your own tonight your already 3cm do you want a stretch and sweep to see if we can get things going " i said yes it did get things going but it all stopped on its own again and i was so tired and frustrated then i went to the hospi on thursday (2days later) due to blood pressure they did another s&s and same thing again then every day i would get really painful contractions i finally reached my 10 days over due i called the birth suite up at 6am like i was told and they said all systems go for 7am thats when i got really nervous i packed a lunch and all for DD and dropped her at nannys told my sister friend and mum i would call them up when things were on the move and then they could come up so get to the hospi and all the midis were in a meeting for change over as the night staff were leaving and the morning staff were just coming on so we sat for an hour all i could hear was some poor lady screaming in pain i was by that stage really starting to freak out badly then finally got called into the room where my baby would be born birth room 1 i was asked to pee in a cup so they could put the stick in it to check for protien and so on the ctg was put on and my blood pressure checked all was good temp was fine so they left the ctg on until the ob came and said ok we will check your cervix and see what is going on so they got organised i was 4cm and so they broke my waters and told me we would wait 4 hours and see what happens she told me nothing will probably happen but we will see if you can do it on your own i was advised to go for a walk to the cafeteria and have a sandwich or something and to stay active well i got up off the bed to go to the toilet as soon as i got up heaps of water was pouring out ewwww and so i walked in and sat on the toilet and as soon as i sat down BAM a huge contraction hit i was in agony i was crying and hubby was saying come on clean up so we can go for our walk so i quickly cleaned my self up and went to walk back to put my clothes on and all of a sudden another huge contraction that dropped me to my knees hubby rang the buzzer for the midi to come back she came back with a student doc in toe and said oh golly i was on my knees kneeling over the bed screaming thru a contraction the student doc waited for the contraction to be over and asked me if she could assist in the delivery i agreed and she was very excited then another contraction the OB came back in and said oh i think we should start recording these i was having huge contractions every 2 mins i was so scared as my waters had only just been broken after an hour i was in so much pain i asked if i could try the gas i tried it for about 30 mins and then it was so painful i asked for an epidural i was not in the right frame of mind to cope with it all it was all happening way to fast i didnt know what was going on they said i had to get up on the bed for a ve to see how far i was in order to get the epi i was 6 cm after just an hour and a half they then had the epi man in the room practically straight away sitting still for the epi was the hardest thing i ever had to do in my life that pain was just so so intense i couldnt handle it i was sucking so so hard on that gas i couldnt even hear what was going on it all happened really really fast tho so i was glad as soon as that epi was working i felt relief from the contractions but a huge hige pressure i screamed omg i need to push the midi said do you want me to check i said yes so she did a VE and i was fully dialated so i began pushing and pushing and pushing but i wasnt getting anywhere i just kept going and then we kept losing bubs heart rate so they put the moniter on his head and i kept pushing away after about 2 and a half hours of pushing i still hadnt made any progress they then called in the head OB and he felt bubs head instead of facing my back bub was facing my right hip and was stuck they whole time the OB was feeling i had to keep pushing the urge was way way to strong so the OB definately knew it wasnt doing anything (and we figured out the others wernt faulse labours my bub was stuck) he then left the room and came back with 8 other doctors thats when i got really scared they were all talking and tellin DH what was going on bubs heart was stopping with every contraction and they needed to help me get him out with the vaccume suction i didnt know any of this at the time the doc asked me if i understood what was going on i said no but the just said they were going to give me a hand then all of a sudden they were shoving something inside me to attach the vac to bubs head and telling me to push push big hard push telling me no dont scream push hard push your doing so well keep pushing i was pushing so hard and for so long i thought my head was going to explose i felt so much pain in my right hip i screamed my hip is going to break and they told me deep breath and push again sarah keep pushing so i did i pushed with everything i had and then his beautiful little head was out i kept saying can i touch his head let me touch his head but no one was listening to me so my good old mum stepped in and grabbed my hand and put it on his little head (thank you my beautiful mummy) i wanted to touch my daughters head when it was out to but missed out so my mum made it possible for me to do it this time round it was beautiful then i needed to push again i pushed pushed and my student doc that i said could help with the delivery was helping me birth his shoulders then bam my beautiful baby was out and put straight on my chest he was so so soft and warm my emotions came over me and i started balling my eyes out i couldnt believe it he was out i got to hug him for a short while then he was taken from me as they peads needed to check him after the vac and cause his heart kept stopping but he was perfect and they went to wrap him in a blanket but he weed everywhere then they got a fresh balnket and wrapped him but he pooed all in the blanket so 3rd time lucky they wrapped him again and gave him straight back to me i put him straight to the breast and he fed like a trooper i birthed the placenta witch broke in half as the ob tugged on it and then they had to get the rest out not nice but i had my little man so it just felt like it was just me and him in the world we were left to have our skin to skin time just me bub and DH my mum bought in my DD to meet her new littel brother and shed hugged him and kissed him straight away she
