Hi everyone,
Read some birthing stories and can feel for you all, I have a shocker to tell so this is the quick version...
I was seriously ill during and after the pregnancy (gall stones plus complications lots of fun)
Day 1: waters broke at 3am 13th October, arrived at hospital at 7.30am, hospital sent me home (nurses said "Your not in labour yet might as well go home as nothing is happening") walking was hard as the pain was something, my est mate drove to her place and her mum was cross with the hospital so me mate and I went for a walk, me mates mum got worried and drove the car looking for us but we were down the park sitting down (relaxing I just couldn't walk for a bit),
Day 2: next day drove to the hospital to finish parent training and what to expect when in labour, picked up the pram and put it all together (by me self on the kitchen floor) not feeling to good at this stage week dizzy spells,
Day 3: next day had my first internal examination 8.30am (ha I say to this) the doctor says "Congratulations you are 2.5cm dialated" I reply with "Oh does this have anything to do with the other day when I came in and you lot sent me home?" Then DR asks how did I get tot he hospital I reply "I drove me cars outside." Dr freaks out puts a sercuty guard on me and tells me I'm not allowed to leave the building, mean time I've yet again been sick and now am sitting quietly, got the shakes again too. "Oh isn't being being pregnant fun....." walked up to the ward and got hooked up to drips and things, epidural past out when that got put in, throwing up quite regularly by now, rest of the day was a blur then some time later emergancy C Section. I cried yes it was over..... Katie was born 16th October 2002 at 3.15am, she was in a hurry to be born as she was nearly 6 weeks early. Both of us were put on antibiotics for 5 days
Day4: Got put in the worst ward in the hospital with nurses from hell my family were horrified with the treatment of myself and my baby, that they had to complain, but as usual nothing happens.
Final note: Had to stay in hospital a total of 7 days then left as I couldn't tak the rubbish from the nurses anymore but I was still throwing up and ill I didn't even get to carry Katie out the hospital my mum had to.
Oh yeah you guessed it I was still sick for another 3 months before the doctors in a different hospital figuired out that it was gall bladder issues.
Happy to report Katie is well and happy which at the end of it all can't change got to get on with it all.
