I wonder if Magicface1 had her baby yet.
Am back at work today
Can't believe it was a only a week yesterday since my friend had her baby, feels like alot longer!
As I mention earlier in the thread we were in the hospital on the Monday (18th) and were sent home. The pains continued on the Tuesday and got really bad around midnight, we got to Holles St about 5.30am on the Wednesday. They examined her and said she wasn't dilated and therefore wasn't in labour. But because her pains were so strong they would keep her for a few hours and monitor her. So we were moved to Unit 3.
About 8.30am they were coming every 5 mins but the midwife said they needed to be every 3 mins and she needed to be 1cm dilated before she could go back to the labour ward. The midwife said it was unlikely she would have the baby that day or that night. My friend said she didn't want to go home so the midwife agreed to let her stay.
We spent the day walking around Holles St. I was told I would need to be gone by 9 as she wouldn't have the baby that night. I left at 8.30 and went to have a drink with my mam for her birthday (50th). I rang the hospital at 11pm to check on her and the midwife said she was still the same and they were about to give her petidine. I slept in my parents as they live near Holles St and got to bed at 12.30am.
The hospital called me at 1.30am to go back in. We were transferred to the labour ward about 2.30am. The baby was put on a trace for a while, her heartbeat was a bit low, they gave my friend the epidural and then they do a blood test on the baby. Oxygen levels were low so it was straight to theatre for an emercent C section. It is amazing how quickly it all happened.
A healthy baby girl was born at 4.46am weighing 7lbs 1. She ended up having to spend 2 nights in SCBU as she had green vomit, turned out to just be that she swallowed some merconium (sp?).
We can not fault the staff is Holles St, they were brilliant. The only thing we didn't like was that on the morning they were let home they were rushed out!! I hadn't arrived yet with the car seat and they told my friend that if I wasn't there soon, she would have to wait on a chair in the hall!!0 -
