Hi Melissa. I want to introduce you to our princess Indigo Rose. Born this morning at 3am and weighing in at a whopping 9 pounds!<\/p>\n
I had an appointment on Wednesday at 39+2 and my midwife did a sneaky stretch and sweep without telling me. I was a little upset and kicking myself that I hadn’t said something before hand because I hadn’t wanted any intervention so early. Because bub still wasn’t engaged though I thought it may help me avoid an induction (I was sure she would come as late as possible).<\/p>\n
Woke up at 3am with surges coming fours minutes apart but only mild. We stayed home until 4pm listening to our affirmation cd and breathing through the surges. By then I was concerned because they were starting to get closer together (2.5-3 mins) and lasting for at least a minute.<\/p>\n
We arrived at hospital at around 5 to find I was 6 cm dialated. Unfortunately, four hours later I’d only gained another cm so my waters were broken at around 1 :-\/.<\/p>\n
I eventually started pushing at 2am and we had our whopping 9 pound princess at 3:10am.
\nIt was a loooonnnggg process but I am so proud of myself for pushing through and having a 24 hr labour with absolutely no pain relief.<\/p>\n
There were points where I doubted myself but mark was absolutely amazing. I would pay for the course for times over again just for the techniques it taught him. I definitely couldn’t have made it without him!<\/p>\n
My favourite affirmation was “I WILL have a positive birth story to tell!” And I think I definitely achieved that! Thank you so much for everything, I know for a fact that my labour would have be very different if we hadn’t of had your techniques!<\/p>\n
Kiah and Mark, very proud first parents ![\":-)\"](\"..\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\"){kind=icon}
