Awwww! I just saw the pics that B posted on FB. She's gorgeous!! I want to snuggle her. Enjoy every second w/your beautiful family. I hope you're resting and recovering.
Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
Back labor and zero progression due to sunny side up baby on Tuesday afternoon. Emotional mommy because all of those ctx seemed useless (stalled at 2). Was sent home from hospital to do exercises and come back when I'm really in labor. Uh, it was BRUTAL already.
Home at 9pm Tues, did my exercises, labored in the bathtub, then in bed to try to sleep. By 2:00am the ctx were 2mins apart at best and I was moaning through them. H thought he might have to deliver the baby in our bed himself, so he finally convinced me to go back to the hospital. I knew that if I hadn't made progress I would be a wreck.
Back to triage, and I was 7-8cm! I cried real tears of relief. They check us in to a room at 4am. Labored an hour in the tub, got out and was 8-9cm. Monitored baby for 20 mins. I was feeling rectal pressure so another check:9.5cm. MW offered to break my water, & warned me that that meant baby was going to be here VERY soon. I was too late for drugs already. Omg, panic - why did I think I could do this without sweet, sweet drugs?!
Broke water at 6:00am. Dilation complete at 6:15. Pushed through 3 contractions and she was born at 6:25.
It was incredibly intense! Second babies really do just slip right out, though! That was nice .
She's so perfect guys! And she looks just like DD1 did but with super light hair.
And as for tailwind: they want yoy to take in calories via clear liquids. I don't like apple juice, so voila!
Thanks for the sweet words, my friends! I'm so fortunate to call her mine.
