I definately believe in it now!!!! I hadnt had no contractions before,wasnt dialated before NOTHING! Just suddenly my water broke!!
So glad be made a safe arrival! I remember reading your email saying you wished the full moon worked for you. I went to the doctor yesterday cuz I was contracting every 7 minutes for 12 hours and getting to the point to where I couldn't stand up. As soon as my doctor hooked me up, contractions instantly stopped. He said if he could have picked up two contractions, he could have admitted me. He said he had 6 women already that morning with contractions the same as mine and only admitted two of them. He changed my date to Monday so the full moon theory didn't work for me! The only thing the full moon accomplished was making him drop!
Thanks everyone! It was an amazing yet scary experience but I am in love with him!!
This gave me chills!! Im a ftm and only 20 weeks om so ready to hear that first cry though. Congratss on your handsome baby boy!!!!
Congrats!!!! Sry ur labor didn't go as planned and was scary but atleast u guys r healthy and happy now!!! That's all that matters!!!!
Wow Congrats!!! I was checking for an update on how u and the baby were for hours yesterday. I'm glad you both are doing well!
I did forget to mention the I was 38 weeks!!!
Last night I got up for the first time to go to the bathroon....i cried sso much! But its getting easier each time and the pain medicine is helping alot! But yeah they told me afterward that was a life/death situation!
Wow that has got to be one of the scariest gym emergencies to have!!!! I am so sorry you and your family had to go through that!!! A prolapsed cord can go very bad, I am so happy everything turned out well for you. I understand how scared you were, 4 days ago I had an emergency c section bc my baby's heart rate crashed, it was so Bad that they didn't have time to do the normal sedation they just had to knock me out, I was bawling just like you. We are so incredibly blessed that our babies are healthy.
Get some good rest mama, my recovery from the c section has been awful, I hope yours is a whole lot easier. Have fun with that baby and good luck to you and your family.
I'm so glad things worked out for you, i would been Freakin out to!! I'm so glad you got a beautiful baby boy, congratulations, I kno.It's the best feeling in the world! Enjoy every minute they grow so fast! My little girl is now 3 1/2 months abd I have no clue where the time has gone!!! Congratulations again hun (:
Omg congrats, Not sure now if im glad i red all this as im 38+3 nervous as hell already. This is my second time round but im so scared of having to have an energency c sect. Seems everyone has had them lately. Once again congrats and hope you recover quickly. xx
He was a very happy healthy and handsome 6lb 9oz and was 19in long!!! I was oficially a mother!!!!! I had never felt more scared in my life than in the monment that everyone was rushing around me!! I would like to thank all of you ladies that had helped me in my journey to motherhood.it was truly amazing experience and withkout you all,google wouldve driven me crazy!!!!!
Come by my side.then the pulling and tugging and pressure began.i was really getting an energency csection!!! A few minutes later at 512am my beautiful baby boy came into this world and has his first cry! I was instantly in love!
was working all the way while prepping me for surgery.i was laying there almost hysterically crying wondering what was happening with my baby and where was my husband!! Finally they had him suited up and allowed him to
I had no idea what waa happening! I looked over at my husband and he looked as scared as I was! So then when the doctor came in(nurses hand still inside me) he said lets get her to the operating room! I was then almost scared to death!!! So they push me in there get me on the table and start to check that the epidural
I later found out that it meant(not sure if my explanatikn is 100% correct) that the babys cord was coning out first and was being squeezed by the babys head and with each contraction his heart rate would drop,otherwise he was a happy healthy little guy there! But then the nurse says to the other(while her hand was still insidd me holding babys head up to keep his heartrate regular) call the doctor tell him to come in here and get everyone on the floor and ready.!!that freaked me out!! Scared me so bad I was crying and shaking uncontrollably
What does elapsed cord mean?
When I laid back down the decided to check my cervix again....as the nurse was checking,she got a scared/nervous look on her face,kept her hand inside me and whispered something to the other nurse...i was thinking "what the hell is goin on" so she says the baby has an elapsed cord (maybe the word was prolapsed I dont remember for sure) but whatever that meant didnt sound good
Well after signing all those papers about the epidural...in came the anasthesiologist (sp?) Ready to numb me up....wasnt the greatest experience because I have a high pain tolerance for the numbing medicine (even at the dentist I need extra shots) he had to give me 3 or 4 shots before being able to complete the epidural.now comes the scary part....
Of being monitered and while waitiing on the doctor, the nurse came in and checked the activity on the machine and realized that with each contraction babys heartbeat would drop.that and with my nervousnessy BP was a little high but that went back to normal. After being moved to an actual room.when they put me in the room nurses came and told me the doctor wants me to get an epidural "just in case" a csection were needed,they wouldnt have to put me asleep.thats was when I really got nervous!!!
