not my kid


hi my name is brian and am currently in a relationship with a gurl whos story is already on here, shelby's little gurl isabella might not be mine but in my eyes she is and that is all that matters, shelby has excepted my three year old daughter the same as ive excepted hers. her daughter will have it hard as she grows up to realize that im not her biological father but at this point we are planning to wait and tell her when she is old enough to understand that her father was a great guy and that he would have loved bieng in her life, and would have made a wonderful dad to her. i dont want neither of our kids to grow up with out their father or mother, because i went thru growing up with and abusive father, and a verry ill mother, and shelby went through growing up never knowing her mom, and didnt know her until after finding out that she was living not so far away. and i dont want that for our kids, they now have both a loving mom and a caring dad.

My C-section

I had been in a slow labor for around 2weeks, i was due on the 12th September 2009, well a full week later, on the 18th around 5pm i started getting these really strong contractions, although i didn't know what they were. Every time i had a contraction i needed a wee, i was on the toilet and had a contraction i almost feel in the bath!!
My husband came home around 6pm, and i told him i thought i was in labor, we ended up getting to the hospital around 7pm, greeted my my mum and sister in law, who would be there at the birth with my husband who wasn't every good with hospitals or pain!
I got into my room, and had a bath which was amazing!, i went on the ball a bit, and around 10pm i had gas and air, i had only dilated to 4cm but this point, i had someone come in around midnight, and pop my waters hoping to get it going, i went into transition stage and couldn't cope (the baby hadn't engaged and was rolling over)
I had piortin and a epidural to take the pain off which i regret, in 17hrs i only dilated to 9cm and still had the lip of my cervix which just wouldn't break, my child went into distress and pooped in his own water, stopped breathing, i was rushed in for a emergency C-Section, and luckily my baby boy was okay after being resuscitated twice, he was 9lb 5oz born on the 19th September 2009 at 11.49 am perfect in every way..

my labour!!!

i was 17 when i found out i was pregnant and was over the moon and my family soon go tused to the idea after the initial shock.my pregnancy went smoothly and was only sick once! then at 38 weeks, i started feelin really really uncomfortable, and one night i felt so ill, words cant describe how bad i felt, then the next day i was about to start hoovering.lol. and suddenly my waters burst. i started shaking and was really nervous thinking i was going to start having the baby right there.lol. later that day i was admitted to hospital and was due to be induced 3 days later. i had no contractions at all while i was waiting to be induced. then the time come and i was put on a drip. slowly i felt the contractions come on,gradually getting stronger. i started on the gas and air which was great. then after 15 hours of the most painful contractions, the midwife found i was only 1cm. the pain got worse and worse and i decided to have some pethidine. that was like heaven, and i felt like i was in some kind of magical world!!! lol. i had a second shot a few hours later but the magic started to end and i was in agonising pain and couldnt cope any longer so decided to opt for an epidural. That has got to be the best thing EVER!! the pain completely went and i was able to get some sleep. then when i woke up i could feel my baby moving down and as though i wanted to push! it was the strangest feeling! i was trying to push but couldnt feel my contractions and after 27 hours in labour and was becoming exhausted, and was told i would have to have my daughter soon or i would have to have a c-sec,which i really didnt want! so i put every ounce of energy i had left into pushing and with help of forceps,my beautiful baby girl finally arrived at 18.39 on the 18ht june 2009. i couldnt believe how beautiful she was and how i managed to push her out, but she was worth every ounce of pain, and i would do it again. it was the most painful experience i have had but by far the most amazing and rewarding!
