Leading up to the birth...

As everyone already knows little Xavier was Induced.

It all started on Wednesday the 30th of September at 3pm. For months my blood pressure was rising during my pregnancy, so my midwife got me to go to the womans assessment unit at Waikato Hopsital to get checked out. I was ther for about half an hour before they took some blood tests. The nurse walked out of the room and I started to feel sick. I started vomiting and became light headed and dizzy. David was in the room with me. I passed out and had a Fit. The only thing i remember is waking up to at least 8 Doctors standing around me asking if i can hear them... then them rushing me to a bigger room. At 1am i was admitted into a ward because they couldn't find what was wrong with me and needed to keep an eye on me..

After a few days of tests and monitoring and having another ultrasound scan.. Doctors came to the conclusion that i shoud be induced as i had mild Pre Eclampsia and Xavier had stopped growing inside me..

On the Friday afternoon they Started Inducing me, It took 4 Jels to get me 2cm dialated but could stretch to three... So on Sunday Night at 8.30pm i was taken down to the delivery suite and had my waters broken for me. I was then put on a drip to bring my contractions on.
After 11 long hours of Having Pethadine, two Epidurals and Some laughing gas...
Our Beautiful baby boy was born right into his fathers arms....
