Avara Jillian Rose's Birth Story

Can't believe she is finally here, I started getting contractions 5am Monday morning but didn't know if it was the real deal. Had a couple false alarms. But they truly started to kick off, Was in hospital by 6.30 and was 4cm dilated. had to go to labour ward as the birthing centre was full. I decided I wanted a pain free birth (done it naturally 3 times) so asked for a epidural. Witch didn't work!!!!! I could feel everything. My midwife was lovely her name was sally, I was pushing for about 15mins that's good for me. And she finally arrived at 10.26 was so pleased. The after care I received was poor tho. Avara and myself had done the dreaded number 2 she did just after she came out. They changed the pad underneath me but left me in poo and blood for about 5 hours till They gave me a quick wash. I felt disgusting and couldn't wait to have my catheter out so I could have a proper shower.

But I have a beautiful little girl and couldn't be more in love and happier.

I'm happy to be back working , so far they have only given me a part time schedule but I'm sure that won't be for long... we have an appointment wed for a facial/cranial doctor Ezras soft spots are closing too soon there will also be a nero surgeon in case he needs surgery. So that's weighting heavily on me but otherwise he's 10 weeks and ten pounds. Growing and smiling we also just started meds for reflux which has been a huge help....

	Comment from nreiselpn » Posted Feb. 21, 2017 3:51pm We are doing pretty well I had my post check she said I'm still spotting cause in too active (it didn't help I walked into the office carriering my 22lb toddler and the car seat). But she said everything else looked good. It's been 5 weeks so she gave me a hard time about the extra week I came in early but did give me a work release I start tonight. Ezras gaining weight finally he's now 8lbs 2oz...... how about you any morning sickness?

Just today I went to Ezras 1 month check... I'm looking foward to getting back to work... with my last son I was back a few days after I had him this has been the longest I've been off, it's killing me lol hopefully next week after my pp check
