'Next time there is no way i will have a c/s.'
I've only had the one baby but i would like to tell someone or everyone
about my delivery (or lack of) I was in labour for 5 days
Over the five days went into hospital about 3 or 4 time and told
to go home as it was going to be a lot longer
They gave me some sleeping tablets on the last visit and told me
to go home and have a bath and a sleep as i was still only 2 or 3
cm dialated Mind you for a couple of weeks before all this started
i was in a huge amount of pain and was begging them to do something
and nothing was done
Anyway took the sleeping tablets sat on the bed to have a sleep and
the pain got soooooo bad i mean with a couple of minutes i was up
and screaming like hell
Got to the hospital in the afternoon and had gas Totally lost it
I felt like i was falling asleep and everytime i had a contraction
would wake up and i couldn't even remember i was pregnent or who my
partner was until the next contraction etc.
Bit wierd!! Can't really remember much after that except little snipets
of asking my partner who he was and asking what i'm doing here etc.
Woke up compleatly numb in very early morning(had given me an epidural)
Couldn't figure out what was going on at all
Just heaps of people looking at me
Then the pain came back really bad and really fast
Gave me gas again Big mistake
Can remember anything after that until i herd someone telling me
to push
Then someone shove something in my face and said i need to have a
c-section
The c/s was fine i wasn't tripping out because there was no more
gas i was lying there talking to my partner having a wonderful time
I was taken up to the ward and everythings all over i have a wonderful
baby boy
Mind you all of the above was the good part of the story
A couple of days later the nurse told me i had some hemeraging due
to some blood vesase being left untied
But she said it was no big deal and my body would absorb it and it
would go away
By the time i left the hospital i was brused fron knees to boobs
Go a urainry track infection before i left the hospital so i'd been
wetting myself reguarly as i could hardly move little own run to the
toilet
Really embarsing!!
So i was home in bed or lying on the couch for the next few days
because i couldn't move about three days after going home i woke in
the middle of the night to go to the toilet (try to make it to the
toilet)
Go to the end of the bed and wet myself
I was extreamly emotional and was crying
My fantastic partner got up to comfort me and told me not to worry
sat me on a chair and turn the light on
I was covered in blood the floor was cover in blood i have never
in my life seen sooooo much blood
Rang the hospital and they told me it was okay and it was just the
hematoma try to get out of my body
Happen two more times before it stopped doing it
But it was really scary
about a week after getting home i really needed a break so my mum
took me up to my Grandmas for a holiday just a couple of days
Had a really nice relaxing time went to be had a great sleep woke
up in the morning and my sore was soo infected that i had compleatly
come open
I was histerical
We went straight to hospital
Had to have an opperation to remove all the infected fat and tissue
When i woke i was told that the infection had started from the inside
and thats why it had seemed to open so fast
Also because the infection started on the inside they couldn't sow
up the new wound
I was in hospital for about two weeks then sent home
Every day a nurse and so come to my house and put dressing in my
open wound The wound was bigger than a normal c/s scar because they
had to take that infected stuff out too
Was about 20cm long and about 9-10cm deep
It was an open wound for about 5mths
Anyway next time there is no way i will have a c/s
I would prefer to die before i go through that again
I know it sounds stupid but unless you've been through what i've
been through you can't come close to understanding!
