Congratulations. I hope they didn't let her go to long before the intervened.Originally Posted by Scouse
Hi Mark & Deb,
We were expecting a biggish baby judging by what was said during the ultrasounds, they said he was around 7.5lbs on the last which was only 8 days before it all happened.
At the weigh-in after he was born, he was only 2.97kg (6.5/6.6lbs) so he was a fair bit smaller than anticipated.
Leslie tried all that was available, eventually getting an epidural (which is another story) before finding out that the little guy was jammed in her pelvis & wasn't going anywhere.
Luckily a doctor realised what was going on as the midwife was just getting Leslie to push more & more. The outcome was a code red caesarian. Luckily the epidural took effect so Leslie didn't have to go right under.
Leslie was in from Friday to Wednesday - let's hope the next one goes a little more smoothly.
With Lachlan Karen went through 26 hours of labor before they performed an emergency cesarean. Then 2 weeks later back to have the wound scraped and restitched as the stitches had failed and then the surgical glue and steri strip repairs failed also.
She will forget my other half was still willing to go again even when they told her it had to be cesarian again due to the damage from last time.
