Once I was in theatre I was asked to sit on the bed. I then had a canula put in and then they were ready to do the spinal. On the first try it failed, so she tried again. It seemed to work straight away and my legs became really warm. I was then laid down on the table. They put a screen up so I couldn't see what was happening. I then started to feel really sick, so was given some drugs to take it away. They then tested the spinal, with an ice cold spray. First on my hand then all the way up my leg, and then chest. Once they were pleased it had worked, the consultant came in and I was cleaned. They then put the green paper down, which seemed to take forever when actually they had started to cut me. All of a sudden I was told I would feel some pulling and pushing, and that was just the baby being born.
Before we knew it we could hear him crying. They were very surprised at his size, as I was expecting a baby smaller than Eva. I was shown the baby, then he was taken away with James to get weighed. When she came back she told me he weighed 9lbs 8.5oz, I was really shocked. I was then stitched back up and taken through to recovery. I lost 1 litre of blood, which is much better than the 2 I lost last time. Me and Jake had skin to skin, and he was breast fed within the hour. 2 things I was too ill to do with Eva.
I came out of hospital friday night and he is just perfect.
Proud dad!
