Good News / Bad News
Good News : Mum's had the baby, healthy baby boy, gorgeous, 7 pounds 14 ounces.
Kinda Bad News: Went to the hospital with her yesterday for her to be induced. Had two doses of the induction tablet thingie, nothing was happening, we were informed that they have to check every hour the baby's heartbeat, they did this by strapping this machine to her stomache and recording the heartbeat for 20 minutes each hour. This continued until around 6 o clock. After that there were no midwives around, I even checked around the ward, until I had to leave (10 o clock, still no baby).
Got a text from my mum at around 11.30pm saying she was in early labour; small contractions.
Got a call from the hospital at 00.44am, saying that my mum has had to go into an emergency cesarean, didn't tell me much. I went to the hospital and the delivery midwife came to speak to me. Apparently they checked the baby's heartbeat at around 11.45pm, and found that the heartbeat was less than half what it should be, she was only 4cm dialated so they had to rush her to theatre to get him out.
When I went to see her it wasn't very nice, tubes everywhere, gas mask etc. She was really upset, having to go through that on her own.
What I'm annoyed at and I will be inquiring about today is why they didn't check the heartbeat for 5 + hours. If they had caught this sooner she would not have had to go through this on her own. Annoyed me quite a bit.
Anyway, I'm going back the hospital in an hour.
Will provide pics, probably later on.
