She Is Here!

My little girl is finally here! She came
on Sunday, it was a long horrible delivery
for the most part. I had contractions
starting about 5am got to the hospital
about 9am and was at 4cm and fully
effaced. A few hours later got an
epidural. By about 3-4pm i was ready to
push and pushed for 3.5 hours and she was
stuck! but she was too far down the Dr
said to do a c-section and too far up to
use a vaccuum.... so that left the
horrible forceps  but there wasn't
much else i guess. that whole thing was
pretty traumatic for me and dh and baby.
so she was born at 7:27pm 8lbs 1oz and she
was face up which nobody knew beforehand.
We got back in the room and found out she
was breathing very fast so they took her
into the nicu for the night and she is
still there and will be for at least
another week. it is the worst feeling ever
to go home without your baby. apparently
during delivery she got some nerve damage
and it is affecting her diaphragm and
right shoulder area. so it is a wait and
see if it will heal on its own or not. so
please say a prayer for her to heal
quickly! her name is Ella Grace and we
have a few pics up at babykusina . com
hope everyone has a better delivery than
me!!!!

i'm sorry you had a bad experience, but
she's here now! yay! i love the name you
gave her, it's very pretty.
it's still fresh in your mind now but i
promise you'll forget all about it soon
enough. i had a traumatic labor ending in
an emergency c-section, but i've blocked
it all out now. hopefully if you have
another baby it'll be a much more positive
experience.
congrats!

Hi Sweetie,
COngratulations..............you sound as
though you went though what I did, except
my daughter was turned and would not come
out, so after 16 hours of hard labor, I
was sectioned. Heather was in the hospital
for a3 days more, but that was to make
sure she was gonna be pk as well. She was
only 5 pounds. That was 24 years ago and
hers a big girl now. Miss Ella Grace is
going to be just fine. I feel this in my
heart and know God has blessed you and
this baby and you will see shortly ,
she'll be honme very very soon. My Mother
was in the delivery room with me, shes a
labor and delivery nurse(retired now) but
explained to me it was very traumatic for
this baby trying to be birthed and a lot
of times, guess-ta-mations are
given.......thus nerve damage. Miss Ella
Grace need some quiet time and attention
just ot make sure she will be in utmost
condition when her is weady to go home.
God bless you this little angle and your
special family. She's gonna be just
great..............Now the fin begins@
Looking forward to lots of pics! HUGS!

thanks everyone. she is doing ok right
now. still can't breath well and needs the
nostril oxygen to help some. we are
waiting until monday to see if her
diaphragm gets any better then we will
talk about some options... one of them
being going to a specialist at a bigger
hospital and maybe needing surgery. this
is the worst week ever. i am so happy she
is here but i am only happy when i am with
her and that is at the hospital a few
times a day. my whole life is going to see
her, thinking of her, coming home and
pumping and sleeping. nothing else
matters. that sounds depressing i know but
it's true. i hope she can heal on her own
with some physical therapy but we just
don't know and not knowing anything is so
hard. but thanks for all the kind
thoughts!

Congrats sweetie!!
Is there any parental accommodations for
you? My daughter was born with
neuro-thorax(sp?) and was in an incubator
for 3 days, and also stayed in pediatrics
for another 2 days. I was dead set on
staying with her. No one was going to make
me leave. Maybe there's something there
for you.
I hope she gets better soon!

no accomodations for us. i wish there was.
we only live 2 miles from the hospital so
it makes it easy yo get there but i still
hate it when i have to leave her! this
will most likely be a real long process,
especially if surgery is needed. i just
pray that is starts to heal on its own.
