Subject : Finally my baby girl is here!
Hi all,
My gorgeous baby girl is here,too late but she is perfect.
She was born on Sunday at 5.32am after 28 hours of labour....ouch!!!! Weighing 7lbs 1. Ended up having an epidural after gas and air,bath,breathing technics and etc wasnt good enough. Long long story..
She was dragged out by forceps and had episiotomy,2nd degree. I love her to bits already and im so happy though totally exhausted. I wonder why I had to wait all those hours before asking for an epidural...wish I asked for one as soon as my contractions began. After all those hours,I wasnt progressing in labour(was still 1cm dilated and baby was back to back)..the doctor had to break my waters and started discussing the possibility of a c-section. Thank goodness it never came to that as I was very scared. She poooed in my tummy and was getting a little bit distressed. I was also very tired and dehydrated that had to have a drip.
I hope those who are still waiting for their babies all the best and also all the best to the new mummies.
