I had my delicious little Seth on the 27th July at 11:15am. He weighed 7pound. Im not sure on when "labour" actually starts and when they time from, but my contractions started at 10pm the night before. My waters had to be broken and from then it was 1hr 15 mins till Seth was born. We had to get the vaccum and an episiotomy. All drug free, apart from a few puffs on the gas.
Birth is absolutely brutal!! Although i had a pretty smooth labour, i think it has traumatised me a little, and definately DP. Lets just say i wont be doing that again in a hurry if at all! Sometimes it will come into my head and ill start to replay the whole thing and i just scare myself and have to do something to take my mind off it. Im just glad its over.
Seth is a very good baby, all he does is eat, sleep and poop. He doesnt cry, except when i change his nappy and get him in and out of the bath. He sleeps anywhere from 4-5.5 hours, though last night was waking up every 3.5! So im very tired today, he is asleep at the moment, so im off to go have a little nap.
