G'day
oht nak 8-) Madeleina Venus (7 lb 7 ozs, 19.25") was born by a natural VBAC on Sat Nov 12th at 6:41 am after 3 hrs 20 mins of labor, including a speed down the freeway with my bum in the air trying not to push. No offense elizabeth, but I had no desire for a car birth 8-) She is beautiful of course, and had no problems other than a harried day of phototherapy that resolved her bili levels faster than her ped would believe (I know it was all the mummy milk I pushed on her during that day). My milk came in on day 3 and we are nursing like pros. I, on the other hand, have had major complications due to extensive blood loss and am living on my couch with a hemocrit of 6-ish (should be 6 or 7 time higher). I was kept in the hospital till Tues night and have only just started to get on top of stuff, specially since DS1 has been home sick too. I promise to write the birth story sometime soon, but the bottom line was the birth itself, although fast and furious, was perfect! 8-) DrRuth |

Homebirth next time? :-) She is beautiful of course, and had no problems other than a harried day of phototherapy that resolved her bili levels faster than her ped would believe (I know it was all the mummy milk I pushed on her during that day). My milk came in on day 3 and we are nursing like pros. Yay! I, on the other hand, have had major complications due to extensive blood loss and am living on my couch with a hemocrit of 6-ish (should be 6 or 7 time higher). Are you sure that's really your haematocrit (percentage of blood volume occupied by red blood cells) as oppsed to your haemoglobin level (grams of haemoglobin per deciliter of blood)? My own haemoglobin was 6.2g/dL following a largish PPH, so I know how that feels, but I'm not completely convinced one can live with a haematocrit of 6%... Hope you're soon feeling better, anyway.
