Finally my Birth story
So I know I am really late but thought I would finally post the story. I went to the Dr on friday the 1st of April my duedate. I had planned on going into the hospital Monday April 4th to be induced ......Well I was dialated or anythign and my doctor really wanted me to see if I went into labor myself. So we together decided if my son didnt come before April 10th I would be induced that night and have him on the 11th.
Well Monday the 4th came and I noticed the little one was not moving or kicking so I went to the OB and they did a sono and said everything was fine and go home and rest. SO I did what the doctor said and Tuesday came and I decided to go to Lunch to visit some nesties at work....we had chinese and they wished my labor vibes. When I came home from lunch my hubby was worried because I still wasnt feeling the baby move so we again called OB and went in to see my Dr. She did another sono and said everything looked fine but she couldnt send me home knowing I wasnt feeling him move around like he normally did. I went across the street to the hospital and was induced at 5pm.....i had very mild contractions all night and by the morning I thought for sure I was dialating...NOTHING happened though. They estimated the baby was weighing around 9lbs. They upped my pitocin and said they would be back later. I was checked throughout the day and nothing was happening. Around 5pm the oncall doctor checked me and said he wanted me to continue and see if i progressed at all. At 6pm the new on call doctor frommy practice came in and she decided to up the pitocin and said she would be back in an hour. Well and hour felt like a lifetime and when she came bak still nothing so they decided on a c section.
So now my nerves were gettign the best of me. There were nurses coming in giving me meds via IV and fluids. They finally walked me to OR at around 9pm. I had a spinal block and at 931pm my son was born via csection. The umbilical cord was wrapped around his ankles and he could not drop which is why i was not dialating. If I had started to push him out by chance we would have ended up in an emergency csection anyways because of the cord.
My son was only 6lbs 12oz and he is now a month old and is up to 8lbs. I love him so so much and never thought i could love anyone this much!!
I am dreading going back to work and I know he will be home with Daddy and grandma but I dont like to leave him for anything!
Sorry it took me so long to post this!
Hope all the other nestie babies are doing good!!
Re: Finally my Birth story
congratulations and what a story!
now update your ticker
I happy that I ate Chinese with you Monday. It was chicken and ice cream with Nik and Melis that brought out Jack.
Love how adorable he is and my mom is so excited to see him again on Saturday!!
Congrats!! Glad everything turned out ok. Thanks for sharing!
Aren't the weight estimates just CRAZY? They guessed 9lbs and he was only 6lbs. I can't tell you how often that happens. You would think with all the technology out there now they could get that right. That annoyed me too when A was born...except she was bigger then the estimate...lol.
congrats! glad to hear you are doing well.
