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!!!

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...

If Carlsberg Made.......

If Carlsberg Made....... Why oh why do men think us mums know the answers to everything when it comes to our babies? I mean, I know I stay at home with her all the time while I am on maternity leave, but it doesn't mean I'm a baby psychic! No, I know it isn't all men, some of you are super lucky to have a man who dives into those dirty nappies, insists he runs you a bath with candle light while he takes care of the baby for an hour and puts his own laundry in the wash. Lucky you!   But reality for me isn't the same, as you may have read throughout my blog. I love my partner a huge amount but boy is he a challenge.  'If Carlsberg Made Men, they were probably too drunk by the time they got to mine....' So that wonderful question he has asked me more times than I can count. "Why won't the baby stop crying?" I have had many different responses, here are 3 of my favourite, 1. If I...

Who Let The Dogs Out, Who, Who

Who Let The Dogs Out, Who, Who Let me introduce you to my other babies, they have been a bit left out recently, but they have still been my cuddly, friendly, supportive boys.  Since falling pregnant, to bringing home a tiny little human, they have sensed changes and adapted fairly well. Dogs are intelligent animals and are very affectionate, loyal pets.  I read somewhere that dogs can sense you are pregnant, my border collie (Dexter) seemed to have sensed this because he started to change when I walked him. It wasn't until after the changes it clicked in my brain why. One day, he just left my side in the park to run up to a big German Sheppard and bark at him, I had to run over, apologise and put him on his lead. He didn't get aggressive with the dog just barked. It was so out of character and a bit odd. This happened again with another big dog a separate time, then it dawned on me, he was protecting me. He must have sensed the change in me and had started prote...
