MY TEAM GREEN WHOOPSIE BABY IS A........

[dannikins]

GIRL!!!!!!

Sasha Maree was born on the 5th of june at 1.35 pm.
7 pound 10 ounces, 54 cm long, with a 33 cm head, she is tall and skinny.
Finally after 4 boys i now have a daughter!!!!!

went in for my check up on monday, my due date, and my BP was up, 130/90, usually its only 110/60, and i had been having migraines all week, so they kept me in and done bloods, urines and NSTs, after 6 hours they rulled out pre E, and decided they would do a stretch and sweep, and then if i hadnt had bub by thursday, they would organise an induction.

when she done the internal to do the S&S, she found i was already 4cm dialated and super stretchy.
so this changed their plans.
they decided with my history of fast delivery, pp bleeding, and my increased BP, that they would keep me over night and break my water in the morning, since i was already half dialated, they didnt want to risk me going into labour at home and wanted to keep everything in a controlled environment.
so i went home got my stuff and hubby drove me back in.

i have never felt so looked after, they had one OB and 3 midwives with me the entire time, all 100% dedicated to me, and they were all really lovely ladies.
they took me to L&D at 10am and broke my waters, hooked up an IV, and pumped some fluids in.
after an hour i was still not contracting, so they decided to give me cintocin to get the contractions going.
started the dosage at 6, then after an hour still nothing, they upped it to 12.
after about 1/2 hour at 12 i started to get some niggles, but nothing major, so they upped it to 18.
i really dont like 18!!!!
once it kicked in it was basically one long, non stop contraction, it started so suddenly, and was easily the worst pain ever experienced.
but it was also very quick!
within 20 mins i was pushing.

2 pushes for her head, and one big push for the rest of her..
she had a very short cord, so they couldnt put her on my chest until after it was cut.
they never told me the gender, they all knew that we already had 4 boys, they just handed her to me and let me find out for myself.
i bawled my eyes out! even now while i type this i get teary from the fact i now have a daughter.
its just so amazing, and she has completed my whole world.
she started nursing straight away, and is a boobing machine...

anyway, back to the birth.....
because of my history of PP bleed, they had a pretty extensive plan in place.
as soon as her head was out they gave me the needle in my leg, then once she was fully delivered they gave me 4 supositories, and also started me back on low dosage cintocin for 6 hours.
they wanted the placenta delivered quickly, so if i hadnt passed it with in 30 mins they were planning on taking me to surgery to remove it.

thankfully after about 15 -20 mins, they got me to push again and it came out perfectly, membranes included.

no pp bleeding this time, so it all worked!

she is perfect! and already the most spoilt little girl in the world, we had so many visitors, all with arm loads of pink stuff, i wont need to buy her any clothes for 6 months... not that it means i wont...lol...
she has a very proud daddy, and 4 big brothers that love her to bits already.
and i cant even describe how im feeling...
i can now safely say im done, hubby is going to get the snip.
i have my little girl.... and i have no intention whatsoever to go through that again....

anyway, my quick update has turned quite long....lol...

as far as swaying goes, i hadnt started my sway yet, and the only sway factor i had was a one shot deal 5 days before Ovulation.
so i think im now a pretty big believer in the whole timing thing...

here are a few pics of my new princess!!!
