From the scan they told me my baby boy was very small and weighing 4lb 4oz and i was sent straight to labour ward they monitored me for a few hours and told ti come in at 9am the next day to be induced as baby had stopped growing so i went in the next day they give me the gek.i potted about all day nothing seemed to be happening so i sent.my husband home to take the dog for a walk and take some sweets to my mums for.our older 2 13 and 8 my friend lives by the hospital so come and kept me company she had me walking evarywhere to get things moving then my husband came back they give me a second gel and said they will come to check me later in i was 2cm by this time so me and my husband turned the lights out and settled down to watch a film on the ipad i was bouncing on the birthing ball leaning over the bed they then came in to check.me and said i was 3cm.and tbey broke my waters my boys heartrate kept dropping so i had to lay on my side 48 mins later and only 5 mins of pushing my 3rd and final littke prince arived best birth i have had no tears or grazes as his head was coming out the midwife was pouring cold water over me and i said to her that feels great i felt so in control the midwife said i done amazing and i can come back any time i want and here he is my 3rd and final baby Max Thomas Edward Anderson born.at 2.33am 17th jan 2019 5lb 8oz

Unfortunately the day after we come home from hospital he stopped taking a bottke and ended up back in hospital being treated for sepsis and i had a womb infection was heartbreaking to see him like that he dropped to 5lb 4oz

But he made a full recovery and at nearly 7 weeks old he is a nice healthy boy and is now 8lb 4oz
