So a rollercoaster of emotions really. But now that everything has calmed down very happy. Hopefully they'll let me visit today 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Wow, incredible 24 hours @Stevo985 congratulations. My boys birth was textbook. My daughters was absolutely horrific. A slowing heart rate, the contractions stopped, a room full of doctors and midwife’s, it was truly terrifying but alls well that end well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted December 30, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted December 30, 2021 Yeah she had a massive haemorrhage after he came out and had to have a couple of transfusions. They were catching the blood in buckets there was so much of it. I wasn't there but sounds like it was genuinely touch and go! Anyway she's fine now. And he's amazing. Just back from seeing him. They managed to sneak me in (Covid means technically only your birthing partner is able to see you, which was her mom). Got to spend a couple of hours with him. He's awesome 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give it time and a workable plan will emerge I’m sure. Congratulations again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nurses sat the boy in my lap while running around like (organized) madmen to sow up the missus. I lost it, walked out of the room, gave my newborn to the nearest nurse, went outside and hyperventiladed. Not my proudest move and reaction. All went well and I think I'm forgiven 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Do people still have home births? You don’t hear about them much these days. If something happens like what happened to Steve’s baby momma it’s pretty much death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to be careful where you step on the carpet They messed it up then the ambulance missed it up, put my nephew in a lot of danger, her mom delivered him and it was over an hour until anyone turned up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife started hemorrhaging during her C-Section and was pretty freaked out by it. I have zero memory of that though and think I've blanked it out.

If something happens like what happened to Steve’s baby momma it’s pretty much death. Both mine were home births - the first one (in Birmingham) we had 3 midwives at the house and it was pretty easy going (on me!) The second one (in Devon) was more ‘entertaining’ - the wife woke me with contractions but thought she’d be a while so I had time to drop my son off to a friends house nearby. I got back home about 10 minutes later and the wife is looking ready to drop and we hadn’t even called the midwife yet… Phoned her up and she said she’d be around 30 mins… that’s ok I thought… the wife had other ideas though and was beginning the big push thought it best to ring for an ambulance and whilst waiting did my best, which didn’t take long as the youngest popped out a few minutes later. Now an confession - both the wife and I were totally expecting another boy (she carried the same, same cravings etc etc) but when I looked down there was something obvious missing… the first words my daughter heard on this earth was ‘where’s its penis!?!?!’ wrapped mom and baby up just as the ambo arrived and both paramedics were great - chuffed with the delivery and how well it went. Then the stony faced midwife rocked up and it was if I’d taken her commission or something - she was not happy anyway - within a month or so, the decision was made to have the snip and be done with it all 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the three that visited our home to do the follow up check things, all of them were moody arseholes. One was a proper scary Miss Trunchbull type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had similar with the pre-natal/labor ward as all the midwives were fantastic and really kind, and the rooms were very nice. Then we moved to post-natal care and it was like going back in time with the facilities and care provided, you could tell they just wanted to get you out. Pre-natal was also one of the eye opening moments for me as I realised that even with my wife in labor and suffering a lot of pain, I was still going to stare at the hot midwifes cleavage as she bent forward. Not my classiest moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
