Birth Story..
Well, I can't believe I finaly have her.....all the clothes, all the
things I bought for her, she is now using... It started on Wed the the 12th, I was having very light =91=91period=92=92 like cramps, no bleeding, no water, just tiny cramps once in awhile, but lasting off and on all evening... Thur, same thing. but a little worse, I thought they were BH's because I had a Dr.s app. ( Thur ) and she did NOT do an internal but told me they were just BH ( like she could tell ) .....so the pains were not too bad,so i just kept telling myself they were just BH... Fri. same thing but they were getting way worse...at this point I didnt get ANY sleep Thur. or Fri. night... Sat....Pains really getting bad, could hardly talk through them....still avoiding this was labor, because there was no blood or waters.... Sat evening, my DH and I were on the bed watching tv and he noticed that the pains were getting VERY bad and anywhere from 3-5 mins apart, all of the sudden he jumped up and said =91=91 I'm loading up the car, lets go to the hospital=92=92 I'm abou 45 mins away from the city... We got there and I was 3 cm. dialated..... I was in triage for a few hours, they were thinking about sending me home...OMG...at this point I WAS IN PAIN!!!...but i was still able to joke around etc. ( not during a contraction though) ... but after awhile it really got bad and then it was time to go to the labor/delivery room....and the epidural..-)) everything went good the epidural. i felt no pain... but sometimes i could still feel contractions but they did not hurt..... I guess early in the morning, ( not sure what time ) they then induced me, I did'nt know =91=91at the time=92=92 but Chloe's HB kept dropping...OMG!...i guess that is why they induced me..... all these Dr.s were coming in, and they kept rolling me from side to side, and I could hear the HB dropping and dropping.....when I would roll on my right side the HB would come right back up! But I was thinking the worst....they put oxygen on me, they said it was for the baby....i didnt know what was wrong with my baby and why would her HB come up when I was on my side.... it was no time till I was at 10 cm. so they called in the Dr. ( I really lucked out. ) for those of you who remember, I did NOT like my OB at all!!!! and there was a really NICE OB on call for her that day...;-))) as soon as he ( the dr. ) came in, I started the pushing....DH SAW the head.... But the HB just kept dropping, and the Dr was concerned too...that really scared me to see the dr. concerned.......then we pushed a little more, and then he called the neo natal team and said =91=91in a frightened voice=92=92 =91=91HEY GUYS, BE PREPARED, I MIGHT NEED YOU=92=92.....OMG....I thought my angel might not make it,,,,DH had tears, and I was just ready to die if anything happened to her! even though the dr. seemed VERY concerned, he kept telling me that it was more than likely the cord around her neck causing the HB to drop...... after dropping too many times he suggested a C-sec.....all I wanted was the safty of my baby, so we pushed ONE more time, the HB dropped BIG time.....so we folded it up and they prepped me and took me to the OR. yep the cord was around the neck, she was sunny side up, and she had her arm bent up behind her head too, =91not sure what the medical terms are.. =92 so nothing major, but just a few little things to really scare us.... there were a few other small things too but I just cant think right now, just small things! Poor DH, the Dr. made him look at Chloe's hand sticking outta my belly....lol..... all went good, the Dr. did say that =91=91 I had the smallest placenta he ever saw=92=92=A0I have NO idea what that would mean....? But anyways.......they handed DH the smallest little bundle of joy, when I saw her, she was looking me in the eyes ( I know they cant see but she was ) lol.....all I could do was cry and just keep saying over and over again how pretty she is...;-)) I could'nt believe all those kicks, and rolls, and thumps were her!!!!!!! I could not believe SHE came outta me.....;-)) After the c-sec, I was just shaking outta control, it would not stop. my hands were like I was taking a convulsion or something...even my jaws were painfully quivering....then they put her on me and wheeled be back to my room to recover........the ice chips were soooooooo wonderful...lol....but i threw them up..;( after it was over, DH ran home, put the dog in the kennel, fed the cat, and packed extra, and came back to the hospital and never left my side, I got really sick that night, ie. throwing up! OUTCH!........then I started running a fever, but it left, THEN, I had a pain in my right shoulder...omg...painful, then I read it was a side effect from the epidural. ( referred pain ) ? Chloe had a touch of Jaundice at birth, but he assured me that it was all normal, they put her on a bililight for a day or two, and now she is in good shape.!!!! whew what an experience, but like everyone says =91=91=A0its was all worth it=92=92 she weighed 5pounds 10 oz's 19 inches long...................... I love her sooo much, now my goal in life is to be the best mom I can be..... My nursery is all done in =91=91precious moments=92=92 well, i'll tell you, when I saw her for the first time, and we looked in each others eyes, it WAS the most =91=91=A0precious moment =92=92 in the whole world.....

Birth Story..
Wonderful to hear the three of you pulled through with flying colors.
Sounds like it got scary there for a while though. She's absolutely beautiful! THEN, I had a pain in my right shoulder...omg...painful, then I read it was a side effect from the epidural. ( referred pain ) ? I don't know about you but the day after I delivered I think my back hurt more from the insertion of the epidural than my bottom did, not to mention that I had pulled every muscle in my upper body pushing. That was one thing that I did not expect. Right shoulder pain? Hmm.. I don't think I could have told one pain from the other, lol. |

yep the cord was around the neck, she was sunny side up, and she had her
arm bent up behind her head too, 'not sure what the medical terms are.. ' Sounds like you may have a competitive diver on your hands. But anyways.......they handed DH the smallest little bundle of joy, when I saw her, she was looking me in the eyes ( I know they cant see but she was ) lol.....all I could do was cry and just keep saying over and over again how pretty she is...;-)) I could'nt believe all those kicks, and rolls, and thumps were her!!!!!!! I could not believe SHE came outta me.....;-)) Awe...........I'm so happy for you Christine!! I'm glad you were not so out of it that you couldn't enjoy seeing her. In my case, my first response was, "Ewwww!". I thought for sure the doctor and nurses would think I was evil. But, they said it was the anesthesia making me feel bad. LOL! After the c-sec, I was just shaking outta control, it would not stop. my hands were like I was taking a convulsion or something...even my jaws were painfully quivering....then they put her on me and wheeled be back to my room to recover........the ice chips were soooooooo wonderful...lol....but i threw them up..;( Wow, I shook after the second epidural (first one leaked) and threw up after the c section, too. after it was over, DH ran home, put the dog in the kennel, fed the cat, and packed extra, and came back to the hospital and never left my side, I got really sick that night, ie. throwing up! OUTCH!........then I started running a fever, but it left, THEN, I had a pain in my right shoulder...omg...painful, then I read it was a side effect from the epidural. ( referred pain ) ? Poor Christine!!!! Chloe had a touch of Jaundice at birth, but he assured me that it was all normal, they put her on a bililight for a day or two, and now she is in good shape.!!!! Morgan had jaundice, too. But, no medical procedures were necessary. whew what an experience, but like everyone says '' its was all worth it'' she weighed 5pounds 10 oz's 19 inches long...................... Wow, tiny! I love her sooo much, now my goal in life is to be the best mom I can be..... Me, too! I'm confident we can do it, Christine!!! My nursery is all done in ''precious moments'' well, i'll tell you, when I saw her for the first time, and we looked in each others eyes, it WAS the most '' precious moment '' in the whole world..... Chloe Rebecca,,,,,my princess... http://www.growingfamily.com/webnurs...LID=9T8S0V9F5G She looks just like you!!!!!!!!!!!! Adorable!! Big, alert eyes!! How is your breastfeeding coming along? misc.kids.breastfeeding is a great newsgroup! ~Carol Ann Mom to Morgan born 3.24.04 http://share.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=EeBNnDdizZNneg ---Pictures! |
