So when I initially started this blog, I had just met my husband but then boyfriend and I wasn't sure where that relationship was going. I wanted to talk about makeup and decor because that's what I was interested in. However, I am now married, a housewife with a one month old, so needless to say the theme of this blog has changed. I hope some one out there will find it interesting.
And just as I start the juicy stuff she is crying...
So my husband and I were married in 2014 and I went off the pill as I had been on it since I was 16 (for medical reasons). The plan was to start trying in Europe, where we went on our honeymoon, which was booked for the end of 2015, however in June 2015 we found out that we were expecting our first child.
So we traveled to Europe 5 months pregnant...
The pregnancy was amazing, apart from a bit of morning sickness it was great and I was truly lucky that I didn't have any complications.
So... On the 18th of March, I went to bed and felt a bit funny, but thought nothing of it as being nine months pregnant is uncomfortable. On the 19th I woke up at 1am and went to pee (pregnant ladies do this a lot!!! ) and there was some bleeding. I decided to wake up my husband, and go to the hospital.
I was having contractions about 20 minutes apart when we got to the hospital. When I was having the contractions though her heartbeat would drop. The doctors were concerned so they decided to break my waters and induce me. I never ever thought that I would have so many hands in my vagina at once.
So I was induced and was in labour for 14 hours before I had the epidural, which only ended up on working on my left side. At about 7:00 I had these pains, and my body started pushing by itself, but I was only 6cm dilated and was devastated.
But at 8pm I was ready to go!!!!!! My words were "Thank f@*k".
And at 8:49pm our little Amalia Rose was born.
My first words were that she was "ugly" and I thought to myself is that it. For some reason I thought that once she was here I would feel totally different within myself. But I felt more like myself than I had in months just with more love to share with this creature that I had created. I was excited to get to know her and her personality and see how I would cope with this new venture in my life.
So many mixed thoughts and emotions in those first few minutes with your new baby and your partner. Can I do this? Do I want to do this? What is going to happen? and now I know the answer is that you have no idea the answer to any of these questions, but just take one day at a time and you will be fine.
