Hi everyone
Not sure if this is the right section to talk about my pregnency (and a bit about the brith) but thought I would off load.
I found out I was pregnant on christmas day, only been trying a couple of weeks and it was quite a shock! My dad had died in the september, we had got married in the oct and then decided to have a baby (more my choice that Mark's) on our honeymoon. I thought it would take a while but, what can I say, we must just be a fertile couple!
I hated being pregant - I felt awlful for the whole things - SO tired. I started bleeding from about 13 weeks when everything was supposed to have settled down but that's where the probs started.
I had to go for scans every week (have loads of scan photos) for about 14 weeks due to this continuos bleeding and was told there was a bleed under the placenta - no one knew what had caused it but I was SO worried I would lose my baby.
Then, once the bleeding finally stopped at around 24 weeks I became convinced there was something wrong with her (decdied to find out what I was having) - that was why I'd been bleeding. I had sleepless nights due to anxiety right up to my due date - there were no other probs but I was just sure he would be still born, have a phyical abnormality - even now I still think there must be something wrong with her mentally and I feel that it is just a matter of time till this comes out.
My due date came and went (27th Aug) and the days still passed and NOTHING!!! Everyone else I knew who was preggers had their's and she just woulndt budge! I felt so bad - full of anxiety and feeling so ill - my balance was all over the place and I kept falling over (sometimes in public - most embarassing) becuase I was so tired. I was so worried she wold be born on the day my dad died (4th September) but thankfully she was born on the 9th.
Finally went in to be induced (after internal at home had failed to get things moving) when I was 41w5days - had to wait around all day to be induced because they were too busy so finally got induced in the evening.
Went into labour that night and was then hooked up to this monitor so they could keep an eye on the baby's heart beat. Wasnt aloud to move at all which was restricting.
I was very lucky with my labour - started having the contractions ay 8 in the evening and she was born at 5.45 the next morning. I had just gas and air and a tiny bit pf pethadine when I was 6cm - very proud of myself as it REALLY hurt!
I did however tear alot and had to have alot of stitches. I lost a lot of blood (Mark said he was shocked as it was pouring out of me - too much info - sorry!- think it was a couple of pints) and felt incredibly unwell afterwards, but I couldnt bare to stay in hosp eventhough I wasnt right and my temp was up. I managed to get myself discharged the next day.
As I said, I had a very easy labour (especaily compared to the stories on here) but my pregnancy was horrid. I hated it. Everyone goes on about how you feel blooming - I felt fat, disgusting, and so ill all the time and I never want to go through it again.
