All through my pregnany I was very worried that my baby would be premature and it was a hard decision to make to even try and get pregnant.
My 2 year old daughter was born at 26 weeks and that was the most painful and hard thing ive had to go through.
My pregnancy started off well with not much morning sickness and I felt rather good. I had no dramas up untill I was around 18 weeks pregnant when they found out I had an infection. It was a similar infection that caused my waters to break with my daughter. I was quickly put onto antibiotics and that cleared it all up. Was quite scary though to think that if left alone I might go into labour again but thankfully they kept a close eye on me, hoping that I made it past at least 34 weeks.
At my 19 weeks scan we found out we were having a little boy. I was so happy, this is what I had wanted.
At 26 weeks I had a labour scare which I think only happened because I was stressed as the day before they had checked my cervix and the doctor thought it felt "too high" But they stopped the contractions and I was sent home the next day.
When I was around 32 weeks I started to measure a few weeks behind so they did a series of scans and it was found out that the placenta wasnt working as well as it should be and that bubs was small for dates. They kept a close eye on me, checking on the placentas function every week. Then at 36 weeks the scan showed a dramatic reduction in its function. So from there they decided to induce me...
20th June 2008
I went in on friday morning at 8am to have my waters broken.
At around 8:30 they broke them, it was quite hard as bub was still not engaged and they had to go very high up which really hurt. They managed to get a trickle.
9:30am The contractions started, they were around 10 minutes apart straight away.
10:30am they decided to put a skull cap monitor on babys head as the ctg machine wasnt picking up his heartbeat very well, this meant I was going to be able to move around during labour. I was very happy as with my daughter I had to stay on the bed the whole time. It really hurt when they put it on and they managed to get more of my waters out during the process. I was 3 cm dilated at this stage.
After that the contractions started to get more intense and were 5 minutes apart. This continuted for a few hours.
I was starting to feel them bad so I started on the gas and sat on a fit ball, rotating my hips with each contraction. This went on for a few more hours untill I felt like I couldnt handle it anymore. At this stage I was saying I dont want to do it anymore and wanted a c section. lol. Everyone tried encouranging me and telling me I was going a great job but it was really very painful, much worse than with my daughter and I just wished it was over. At this stage the skull cap had come off so they got the doctor in to put a new one on, while she did this she checked my cervix which was 4cm dilated. I was upset by this as I just wanted it all to be over and had only opened up 1 cm in a few hours. After the skull cap was on I got back on the ball. I was really annoyed at this stage and saying over and over that it sucked and I wanted it top be over and I couldnt do it anymore. After about another hour I couldnt handle it anymore so I asked for pethadine and they got me on the bed and gave it to me as well as putting me a
the drip to make my contractions stronger. I looked out the window and noticed it was dark outside, I couldnt believe it was night time. I wished it over very soon. The pethadine made me very sleepy and between each contraction I closed my eyes. I didnt notice anyone from then on, I was just in a dream state, concentrating on getting through the contractions and sucking on the gas when they came. All of a sudden I felt a great need to push. The midwives came over and I sat up a bit. They told me to push when I felt like I needed to. I pushed on the next contraction and they said they could see the head. Did another strong push on the next contraction and a little more came out. DF was holding my hand and he leaned forward to see the head. Another push and the head was out, it felt very weird but not overly painful. One more push and his body came out. I looked at my baby and I had a really strong feeling of great love. I had done it, I was so happy. they put him on my chest and I couldnt believe
how beautiful he was. Looked just like his daddy. I had a peak just to make sure he was a boy and yep he is. I have a son! Me and DF were both beaming. They wrapped him up and I got to hold him while they cleaned me up.
Zack Anusorn S***** was born on the 20th June 2008 at 7:04pm weighing 5lb 1oz, 45cm, hc 31.5cm. My labour went for 10 hours all up.
We got to hold him for around an hour before they took him to the neonatal unit as he was 4 weeks premmie.
The placenta took an hour and a half to come out and I had a second degree tear.
Zack is still in neonates because he isnt feeding properly but we hope to have him home soon.
Well thats my story, thanks for reading.
