Birth Announcement of my Hazelnut Eyed Princess!!

Hello All,

Before proceeding I will have to :bowdown my friends especially Amul (june 2010mommies) and my Nov mommies for being with me through out my pregnancy days..! It was like friends next door sharing their experience and thoughts..! My pregnancy days were most wonderful days of my life..! With God’s grace all 3 trimesters were really a smooth sail..!!:thumbsup I was worried What if I have pregnancy induced diabetics , pregnancy induced hypertension or swollen feet..!! :bonk Magical prayers from my daughter did not allow any of these in me..!!:kiss
And now .... My daughter’s birth story........Usually I read and comment on IL only during night and on Oct 23rd..I was reading on Birth announcements and was trying to cherish as if I had given birth..! And slowly my back ache along with stomach ache started just as period pains..but was able to manage it and I went to loo if any bloody show or leakage..!! No such signs I slept off..thinking that rest would make it better..but I woke up every one hr to for my back ache it started by 11,12 ....and then till 5..!! Was taking hot packs and TENS felt better..!:cool2:
Next day morning i found a pinkish show...!! I made up my mind that my D day is not very far and I was told that it is a sign of cervix ripening..!!! Felt happy that everything is going on fine..! And later I felt a peculiar pain as if gas is stuck in my tummy..!! I remember one my friend telling me it would be like constipation pain with high intensity and then also gas stuck up in between..!! I felt so and called her up and she was over excited hearing me and said that I’m in labor and started to look for nakshathram and rasi for that day and also for next day..!
My contractions were getting much closer so phoned maternity hospital about it and the midwife over there replied me back saying me come only when my contraction is once in 10 min..So by the time took hair wash and was ready to get ready to go to hospital at any time...But was there when my contractions was about 15 min once..! We were bit nervous and me and my husband were in hospital by 6.15 evening and my mom was at home praying that everything should go on fine..!! My mom was advising that no matter normal or C.sec, healthy baby and mom is what she needed..!!
Went to admission room and midwife did an internal examination and I was dilated 2cms and was really happy and thinking that I would be dilated 10 cms by next morning or mid night time..!!!! I was admitted and was given a room and was having severe contraction once in 5 min .My dear husband was with me..! He is of great strength to me at all times and now I need not say about him..I was doing mild ball exercises to ease out my pain along with my breathing exercises !!
Around 12 at mid night I was again checked for dilatation it was again just 2 cms and I was having pains and my contractions were much visible..! I was given pethadin to have a good sleep but it was the same..! Later by 3 O’ clock I was dilated only 3 cms to 3.5 cms..mg:So Dr and midwives decided to give me epidural so that it will mask up pain..!! Finally I strolled my way to labour room in a joy that I will have my lovely daughter in this room..!! I was given epidural around 4 O’ clock and I was relived from pain though i felt the pressure of the contraction..! I was on entonox just for my relaxation.My husband was with me through out and updating my news to my mom.
Time was just rolling on and Dr checked and she said I was 100% effaced and no much improvement in my dilatation. It was just 4 to 4.5 OMG..! My husband was ready to ask my gynaecologist if she can carry on with C sec . But there was a big NO from them though it was a slow process..!! And time was around 5.30 morning..! I was guessing I’ll have my baby around 1 O’ clock afternoon. But to our disappointment baby’s heart beat was doubled and again to normal and my hubby was upset looking at the heart beat fluctuation. So Dr decided to check for baby’s oxygen level by taking a blood sample from baby’s scalp (vaginal procedure) which was very tearful procedure though I was masked by pain..! And the results were rapid and Dr reported that oxygen was fine and can go ahead..! But again baby’s heart rate was again doubled , the same procedure was done and my LO’s scalp was again scratched to take blood sample to checked for her oxygen rate, which made my hubby literally to tears..!:-( This time the results were not satisfactory. And baby’s heart rate was going up and up and decided to go for emergency C.sec.
And by God’s grace every faculty were present as if it was God’ sent (as that day was a public bank holiday).:yes: We went into operation theatre around 12.45.My hubby was sitting besides I was shivering and waiting to see my LO who was distressed .Finally had my baby by 1.01 afternoon on Oct 25th. :queen Baby was handed over to my hubby.I felt she was a Pink Bundle of Joy straight from heaven.That’s the end of all our tensions..!! Though I had little issues with breast feeding and pain in my stitches everything was sorted out in a weeks time. Now my aadya is doing and feeding well and keeping me on my toes..!! :wow
