Well its all happened now. Hannah Elizabeth was born at 1547 today (5th October 2009) with a (post feed) birth weight of 8lb 10oz.
When I got into hospital this morning Sarah was just leaving the Matenity ward destined for the Delivery suite. It had already been decided that the prostin gel wouldn't do much good as she was already 3cm dilated but because contractions were not that effective she would need a syntosin drip.
About 1130 the syntosin was started and Sarah spent most of the time stood up. Dose was increased and contractions steadily got stronger. The actual birth happened very quickly and midwife was taken by surprise a little.
Managed to get a first feed pretty quickly and this may have helped Sarah through the 3rd stage naturally.
Sarah has stayed in overnight but shoudl be allowed out tomorrow.
Its all good!
