Goodbye Dignity

Goodbye Dignity


Dignity - oh how I miss you!

Midwives clear the room up after I destroyed it in my animal like transformation that labor caused! Wow I did not expect to be that bad! The screaming.... oh the screaming! Although through the whole labor I did not swear at all. I did how ever scream, shout, beg and possibly even growl!

After my first cuddles with my new, very tiny baby more fun came. 

Delivering the placenta. What? It doesn't come out with the baby? I've got to push again, which I'm sure wasn't part of the deal! Luckily it was easy and painless.
"Would you like to see what your baby lived in?"
Sure! I imagine a nice little bubble that gave peace and comfort to my then unborn baby, but no it was disgusting, something you imagine an alien crawling out of! 
"Oh..... lovely..."

Now comes the checking my bits and bobs, which turn out to need stitches. Legs up in the stirrups, after that birth I was no longer embarrassed. I mean, the midwife has just seen me in my most vulnerable state, this bit is time for me to sit back, legs in the air, bobs on show and gas and air in my gob! 

"Okay, I don't think I will be able to do this, you may need surgery, I will go and get a doctor for a second opinion."

Great!!! Another person gets to look at my bobs! 

"Yes you will need surgery, I'll go and get the surgeon to come and have a look."

Oh for god sake... if I wasn't sucking away on the gas and air my embarrassment would be through the roof right now!

So there I am legs still in the air, bobs still facing the door, yes! the door! 

In comes the midwife, the doctor and not one but two surgeons. I am now high as a kite on gas and air and instead of holding onto the one percent of dignity I have left I decide to greet them!

"Hello, sorry about this" pointing at my bobs "not the best view aye!" 
And there it went, I waved goodbye to my remaining dignity. 

Luckily they did not wheel me to surgery with my legs still in the air, BONUS!

We arrive in surgery, I finally get what I begged for - pain relief - bit late now! One epidural and tablets stuffed up my butt! 
Room full of about 8 different medical staff members, me for the first time in 9 months without my baby and I'm about to get a designer vagina! 

Over an hour later me and my bobs are off to see my new born baby!!!

Jab Day

Jab Day The day all mum's dread - jab day! The thought of our tiny person being jabbed and hurt is not something we want our precious bundle of joy to go through, but is necessary to keep them well and healthy.  One day she will understand - actually, no she won't because thankfully she won't remember these first few doses of pain.  I wasn't too worried about taking her for them, me and needles don't mind each other and I feel if I keep the same attitude around her when she receives them then hopefully she will grow up with the same view. First appointment of the day is our six week check up, which is actually at eight weeks (?) and I lug her up the stairs in her car seat to the doctors room. The rate she is growing I won't be able to lift her in it soon!!! I need to start doing some bicep curls (with a glass of wine of course).  The doctor was certainly a character and liked to get to point. Dr - "Does she eat, sleep, see and hear?&quo

Party Girl

Party Girl My Gran's birthday party, I had been looking forward to it so much and it didn't fail to be a fantastic evening! With so many family members there and half of which Mia had not met yet. I dressed her in a beautiful pink and blue dress ready to impress. Me and Jamie didn't really need to worry about what we wore because everyone would be looking at her.  From the moment we arrived she was cradled by loving relatives. The smiles she brings to the faces of the people I love was beautiful, I felt so proud and lucky.  Before I knew it I had a list of people requesting they get the next cuddle with our daughter. "Come over to us next, we want a cuddle?" There I was getting ready for my cuddles, but each time they meant my daughter! She was hogging all the attention!!! Where the heck are my cuddles!!!!  Ha - only kidding! From one relative to the next my baby was going from person to person like 'pass the parcel' but she was loving

5 Things I Hate About Parenting

5 Things I Hate About Parenting Don't worry, one of my hates is not my own child...not today anyway! I love being a parent, I could never have imagined just how much I would enjoy it, but since it started I have slowly built up a small list of things that really do get on my nerves! I'm sure I'm not the only one.  1. Car Seats They do a brilliant job of keeping your tiny person safe, but boy are they heavy and as your baby piles on the pounds the two combined seems near impossible to lift, I seriously need to start working on my arms, although I imagine by the time I have finished lugging her about I will look like Popeye!  And the struggle of getting those clips together to plug in, easy at first, harder when they insist on wriggling like its some sort of game.  "Please sit still while mummy tries to keep you safe and plugged in!" *Wriggle, wriggle, kick!* 2. Dummies They are slippery little buggers!!! You have finished sterilising the
