Chloe's Birth story !!!

Well, the lil princess is here !!!! It won't be very long lol !!!

Got to the hossie at 8AM, she did a check hoping i wouldn't need a dose of Gel but need one so did it at half 9 AM, had the niggles from then til half 3 when she did the 6 hour check (doses of gel can only be given at 6 hour intervals) was open enough for them to break my waters, so took me to labour ward and broke my waters, had mild contractions for a lil while, no gas and air, after half an hour they were getting steadily more painful and it was only the last half an hour of the labour I used the gas and air as they were full blown contractions !!!

So an hour and a half labour but only half an hour of intense pain lol, she was coming to quick, I think I went into slight shock (shaky) while having her becasue she was coming down so quick, nearly ended up having her by ventouse but she was about to send the doc off to get one and called her back straight away coz she was coming out lol !!! All in all she took 9 minutes to be born

Have decided to bottle feed her as she was born so quick she was quite bruised on her face. she went every 2 hours til 3 then had a huge black poo that exploded in her nappy and allowed me to sleep from then til 7AM when she wanted another bottle, so shes doing well, she goes 3-4 hours between feeds so shes chilled lol !!
