Hi I had my son when I was 17, I never went to prenatal classes or anything and I was about 4 or 5 months along before i found a midwife (there was a shortage and everyone was booked up).
On my first scan they told me I was having a boy and he was very healthy but I also had a large cyst but thankfully it wasnt hurting the baby.
They sceduled me to have another scan two weeks later to see if the cyst would get bigger.
When i went back for the next scan it showed the cyst had doubled in size so they organised for it to be drained by putting a needle in my belly.
Unfortunately the baby had moved down by the time they went to drain it so they had to drain it by putting the needle in through the side of my woman parts (didnt wana write that word lol).
It was very painfull as the numbing gel didnt work but thankfully it only took about 15mins.
The rest of my pregnancy went smoothly and I was due to have baby on the 24th of May and all my friends and family kept saying wouldnt it be great if baby came 4 days early then he would have the same bday as his dad.
Well as it happened I did go into labour on his dads bday but the lil fella decided to stay in there a bit longer (42 hrs) and finally came out 2 days later lol.
The birth went well except they had a student midwife pull out the afterbirth which she pulled too hard and it snapped and went back up inside me. It was the most awful pain (asides from the birth) when they used the forceps to open me up to get it out (they didnt have time to give me pain relief) the whole room and everyone in it was panicing which freaked me out.
But about an hr later I was allowed to hold my beautiful baby boy I have never felt so happy in my entire life
And i would go through all that many times over just to have my son christopher.
sorry this is so long lol
