(Am terrified that this will happen to me - the only thing keeping me sane is that this baby will be airlifted!)
Ask away
they were getting ready to prep me for section when i got to hospital but when they examined me i was 10cm and baby arrived within a half hour of us getting there! Was told it very rarely happens that quick so don't be worrying and ring the hospital if you are worried at all. My mam and sister have very fast labours too so must be a family thing! X 0 -
My little girl arrived last night at 11.40 weighing 7 pounds
Yay Fairie that's amazing news! Congratulations on being the first December mammy to give birth in December!! Hope you and little one are doing well, such a dinky size I'd say shes tiny?
I had a horrible experience with an ignorant doctor in the hospital today, is such a shame as I have been delighted with them all along and this dope just pissed me off today. He had a go at me over the midwife changing my due date and informed me that she couldn't do that. I was like 'fair enough' but he kept going on over it. So according to Dr Gowlface my due date is actually today (suits me
) ...... then he informs me (without examining me) that they will be doing a sweep, I informed him they will not and I want to go naturally .... hardly necessary for a sweep considering I am only due today like! He informs me that I go naturally if I wish and I am free to decline but if I go post-term that baby's heart can just stop. So I'm a bit upset thinking what the f**k is his problem, I am not declining any necessary intervention I just don't want a bloody sweep on my due date when apparently baby's head isn't even fully down! Then he snaps something at me which I didn't get so I said, pardon? and he repeats himself like I am a bold child or incredibly stupid. Then he decides to examine me and starts doing a scan without even telling me he is going to do one and kept the screen turned away from me until I told him to turn it towards me. He shows me the heartbeat begrudgingly and says I should have been glucose tested, I don't know why he said this but he offered no other explanation. I informed him my samples have been fine all along and the finger prick test I had done was also fine. He leaves me lying on the bed like a whale struggling to get up without help then I have to get my own tissue to wipe the layers of gel off my stomach. I am so cross typing this, he ruined my due date day for me, I was so happy and excited this morning and now I feel like crap! I am booked in again for next Monday if I don't go before then so if I get him again I will just decline and ask for someone else!
Sorry for rant but I needed to get that off my chest. Now I am off to bounce on my ball and practice my breathing. OH is cooking a curry, pity I can't eat hot food so will leave all the chillies to the side!0 -

Fima you poor thing. The midwife kept telling me to expect term +10 so I really think the scare tactics about going over term was OTT. I also had a bad experience with a doctor there last week - nothing as bad as yours but just a bit of a shock as everyone else I had encountered had been so pleasant and this man had NO bedside manner at all - wonder was it the same man?
Im in tomorrow for 40 week check and I wasnt expecting a sweep at all so Im a little nervous now. Hadnt actually had any internal exams or anything like that to date.0 -

Fima what an awful experience-hearing things like that makes me mad! Terrible that the treatment we get can vary so much-you just hope when D day comes we end up with the lovely ones!! I've been shocked at the midwives, some have been so friendly and lovely but then others so cold and to the point that I've walked away shocked!
Don't let that doc ruin your due date experience- like you said if you are due to see him again request someone else if possible, what was his problem?!!!
So exciting seeing announcements on here...started maternity thurs last week but didn't get chance to relax so making up for it today chilling in house going to watch a film and relax! Due on 14th, have a feeling it will happen earlier but I imagine that's wishful thinking!! Does everyone have that feeling????? 0 -
Fima that is disgraceful! I would definitely make a complaint, even if it is not formal, these bloody docs are all on their high horse & need to be taken down a peg or two sometimes!
I walked out of my last appointment with my consultant in the middle of him speaking to me like I was a child, hell I wouldn't speak to my kids in that way!
(And this was after he had left for a 50 minute coffee break after being late for his morning appointments, leaving 40+ women sitting waiting on their appointment...mine was for 10am & I saw him at 13:10! You could hear women hopping off him after they went into the room, so he might have been a bit annoyed when I saw him, but still no excuse!!)
I stood up in the middle of him being rude & he stopped talking & I got my bag & said "I'm leaving now, I will be seeking the advice of another doctor, thankyou for your time" hahaha his face!
He followed me out of the room um'ing & ah'ing saying it wasn't necessary, he was 'simply' stating "<insert ****e about induction here>"...I said "thankyou for your time" again & went to speak to the midwives
Very satisfying...the pig....like I'd want his hands examining me after treating me like a piece of meat!
Anyway, maybe I needed to be on my third baby for this attitude to come out, I wish I had stood up for myself more on my last baby...you live & learn I guess! They are everywhere, these self entitled consultants!0 -

Fairie;87nation's "]My little girl arrived last nighat 11.40 weighing 7 pounds I was getting pains and pressure yesterday but had them on and off the last few days so thought nothing of it! Rang hospital at 10.30 as it wasn't easing told me to come in, waters broke as I was leaving the house. Straight to delivery when we got to hospital, no time for my section or pain relief!! pushed for about 20 minutes and our little girl arrived! Few stitches needed, bit tender today and section site is sore after it, other than that feeling great and can't wait until my other daughter meets her new little sister looking forward to hearing of all the other new arrivals and best of luck to all the mammies x[/quote]
Congratulations on your baby girl arrival Fairie! Glad you and the little princess are doing well! Enjoy... It's sooo cute for the siblings to meet for the first time! My three and half year old had this amazement in his eyes when he seen his baby brother for the first time! Too cute!:-)0 -

CONGRATULATIONS to all the new mammies I hope ye are recovering well and no doubt overwhelmed with love for yer little bundles!! Can I ask if anyone had a c section? Give it to me straight how sore is it? Im getting my date tomorrow because my little baby is very stubborn and remained breech. Bright side is ill have them to hold for christmas
Thanks everyone for all the well wishes
Kidcummins, I had an emergency section on my first and honestly it's not bad at all, take you're meds when your suppose to and take it very easy for the first week or two no down washing floors or anything! The first time out of bed I was dizzy and sick (my bp was still fairly high though) but once I had a shower and in clean pajamas I felt great the surgury itself is fine baby is out in no time (I felt tugging sensation but no pain ) they give baby to mammy for skin to skin while stitching you up then mammy goes to recovery for about an hour /hour and half. You'll probably be shivering loads at end of surgury and for little while in recovery it's all normal! They warm you up with a heated blanket! If you've any other questions ask away. You'll do great can't wait to hear of your new arrival x 0 -

Beltzar congratulations and well done on the arrival of your little girl
Fima I cannot believe the doctor treated you like that what an a*s !!! Lots of women go 12 - 16/18 days over and not a bother on them or their babies. I think I'd be asking for a different doctor if you ever get him again! Freya is a dinky lil thing she's tiny and went down 3oz too she's swimming in the newborn clothes ha!
My two ladies are fast asleep in bed beside me I never want to leave here very happy mammy! And Emma loves her new little sister very gentle with her although I don't think that will last too long
looking forward to reading all the updates best of luck mammies x 0 -
