Due date baby...
So yesterday 1st November 2016 me and my other half welcomed our son Lennox into the world. I started getting back pains the night before then contractions started around midnight. They were 5 minutes apart lasting a minute. Called the birthing centre and they said not to go in just yet. I also couldnt stop vomiting so my Aunty insisted we go to hospital. My partner is in the army so was at barracks which is 2 hours away. Got to the hospital about 6am to get checked and was only 1cm. I could have cried. They let me stay in and said they would check again at 10am. I was bleeding heavily and still only 3cm so was moved to triage for monitoring. The contractions were severe, never felt pain like it and every time I got one my baby's heart rate dipped. They took me into another room to break my waters, they were already broken and I hadn't realised. Contractions worsened, bleeding worsened and his heart rate wasn't picking back up. Was rushed for a c section and at 12:43pm weighing 8lb 5oz Lennox was born. He has been in neonatal since due to having issues with breathing and keeping his temp up but those issues are sorted now. I am attempting to breastfeed so it is just a matter of him latching on properly before we can go home. My fave pic of my fave boys so far.
