Hi everyone,
Just wanted to let you know that I had my
baby. I went a week early. I lost my
mucous plug on Thursday night, and
actually started having mild contractions
that continued through Friday. I decided
to time them Friday night, and they were
10 minutes apart, so we went to the
hospital and they said i was 2 cm dialated
and kept me overnite to monitor the
contractions. they sent me home Saturday
morning, which was the day of my baby
shower. By the time the shower was to
start my contractions were 6 and 7 minutes
apart, so I stayed upstairs in my room
while my shower was going on and my
husband took my place. They were 4
mintues apart by the end of the shower and
I was in sooooo much pain I was crying. I
tried taking a bath to ease some of the
pain but it didn't really help, sooooo we
went back to the hospital. They checked
me and I was 5 cm dialated. They waited 5
hours and then gave me an epidural, which
allowed me a little sleep. They checked
in the morning around 2 oclock am and I
was 8 cm dialated. At 5 am I started
pushing. I pushed for 3 hours and they
found that the baby was tooo big to come
through and I was losing too much blood.
They did an C-Section and he was born at
9:50 am. He was 6 lbs. 4.7 oz, 18.5
inches long.
He's adorable. I had to stay in the
hospital until Thursday this week, so I
was there a total of 6 days! Ughhhh....I
was very sleep deprived because the nurses
kept waking me up every 10 minutes to
check my blood pressure, catheter, temps,
etc. They were driving me crazy! But now
we are home and doing pretty well.
Just thought I'd let you know.

Congratulations!!
I know how you feel about the nurses, I
was about to slash the BP cup, lol. You
must have a small pelvis for a 6lb baby
being too big!!
I had to have a c-section too. I stayed 3
days after I begged to stay an extra day,
and I had to WALK OUT. Which is weird,
because when my sister gave birth
NATURALLY, she wasn't ALLOWED to walk out,
they had to wheel her out... sorry just
wanted to vent about my stupid hospital...
