Micheala in the shower:



my poor finger, lol

i',m thiking her neck is broken so what now but nobody says anything everybody is just waiting for the gynae to say right push.......

and with that he says push...and i push and nothing, and he says push again...and i push....and he says one last push.....and i pushed with all my might and i just felt this little ball thingie coming out (tmi) and she started crying and i cried immeidately and then hubby cut the cord and they put her on my chest and i'm still crying and looking at her and thinking its all over and then they took her to do her apgar and weighed etc.....and then i was shivering me in my glory......i couldn't hold her again......could they not have warned me about the after effects of a bloody epidural..........but after they washed me and put me on another bed, i had no more shivers they gave Jesse to me and she latched and sucked...........she weighed 2.7kgs

So ja........thats my birth story.....and the next day i asked the hospital what wouldve happened if i had to come in at 9 the Wed night, so they said they wouldve had to caesar, so my little girl knew that that is not what her mommy wanted so she decided to "play dead" for the morning, bless my child

Loving the story so far Cinds!!!! Type faster!!!!

So i'm laying there and chatting to hubby and i tell him i'm starting to feel my legs please call the sister......he calls her and she comes back and she says she is going to phone the gynae she'll be back now...

its after 11 already and still nothing and i start crying because i can feel the cramps....and believe me when i say it wasn't bad it really wasn't but any pain is sooo not cool so i tell dh pls call her and he tells me she told u she is phone the gynae she will be back now....so she eventually comes back and its about 12ish and dh asks her if he can go an smoke (we are on the 11th floor, dh must take a lift down to 7th floor) so the sister says quickly and she tops me up with pethadine and 5 mins later (hubby not back yet) gynae comes in and checks how far i am and he says: right lets deliver this baby..sister get her ready she is dialated and i'm thinking the time has come wtf is dh....and i ask the sister, where is my husband and she doesn't answer everybody doing their own thing to get ready for this birth. and i ask again...where is my husband and the sister tells the other one go see if her husband is outside...and with that dh walks in and sees whats happening and he comes in and stands next ot me with camera in the one hand and holding my other and the gynae says ok lets turn this baby....and all i hear is a crack and i think oh shit.............he killed my baby

So the gynae breaks my water and i think this will go really quick......and we wait and after 5 the anethetist comes in give the epidural and they wheel me into another room so i lay there and watch tv. dh eventually went to smoke.....and i wait and i'm getting hungry and i cannot eat anything just drink water and eat sweets...i mean really. Anyways time passes and they do another internal and i'm only 3 cm...this is like after 6 already....(i thought you can do whatever you want i cant feel a thing, i'm loving this epidural but the only crap thing was i couldn't turn on my own because my legs were dead) anyways after 7 shift change and i see the same sister that i saw the night of the accident and i think to myself yippeee i at least know 1 face here and she was the best.

the night progesses and it comes to 11 and i'm like 5 cms and the nurse shakes her head. And i'm thinking to myself what now. Everytime the pain wore off they just topped me up and i eventually fell asleep only to be woken up fromt he pain and everyone standing around me checking the foetal monitor and the nurse tells dh speak to your baby her heart rate is dropping and i'm thinking to myself nnnooooooooooooo not a ceasar i cant handle pain, how am i going to survive once baby is out and i have this cut oh shit i thought and dh spoke to her and her heart rate came back to normal.

It is already pass 5 the morning and i'm only 7cm and the sister tells me.....to push and i'm thinking wtf...where is my gynae.....how can i push but i pushed and she shakes her head and i'm like wtf? whats wrong and she says your baby is laying incorrectly.... so now what....she says she doesn't know this is the reason why i'm taking so long to dialate...dh goes to smoke again because he started getting cramps...i fell asleep and after 8 the morning i see the day shift that admitted me is back...and the sister says haai shame you still here........so we wait....they top me up with more pain killers....
