So I was right, baby Wophie was born today at 15:15 weighing 7lbs 4oz via vaginal delivery. 16 hour labour and managed on just gas and air until 9cm dialated.

I spent from 11pm yesterday until 5am today at home with cramps until they turned into regular contractions. Got told to come into triage and as we don't drive we'd be allowed to then stay in regardless of how progressed I was. I was only 2cm and spent 3 hours labouring in triage on a trace due to his heart rate dropping during a vaginal examination which wasn't fun. I think because I spent that time being active the trace wasn't picking up my contractions well, as an absolute witch of a midwife that just started shift told me to go home on the bus as I was in early labour and not in enough pain, and refused to even examine me?!
I just loitered in the hospital grounds until I got to the point I was squatting and mooing in maternity reception so took myself back into triage after only and hour and voila I'm 4cm! Moved to CLU where I progressed to 9cm in about 2 hours (so a big 🖕🏻 to the mean midwife from triage) where I laboured on all fours with gas and air and finally got my epidural at 9cm. Two hours later I pushed out beautiful baby boy out in 15 minutes.

I have to stay in tonight and unfortunately baby boy has been taken down to NICU intensive care as his oxygen levels aren't great and has suspected infection. He's stable and doing well, but I'm devistated as this is exactly what happened with my daughter 3 years ago so I really blame my body. I'm up on the postnatal ward alone hoping to get some sleep and will go see him first thing in the morning, but my heart breaks not having him by my side

Oh I’ve been thinking of you today. Sending you so so much love, I’m sorry that you have been separated.. that first night when your baby is on NICU is the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. Please don’t blame yourself, baby boy is in the best place and you will see his beautiful face again in the morning xxx

You need to share 😂
Well I don’t want to offend anyone’s tastes. It might be our area… some people have quite nasally accents. Although I stand by the fact a name can be beautiful but called in a voice you don’t like is always going to grate.

- Amelia (love this name but they were either following us the whole day or there’s a load of Amelias now) and honestly “Aaaameeeeeeliaaaaaaahhhhhhh” has done my head in today
- Ashton (Ashton, Ashton…. Ashton)
- Jayden (Ashton’s brother)

My name is Amelia, my husband is called Ashton and my baby is Jayden



I’m kidding; but that would be funny
