EEEKK!! Steph!!!!!!

I reallllly don't think you were only 37weeks6days. I think your doc is a freak and you were TOTALLY 40weeks!!! LOL!

My sis in law went in for her last u/s before her delivery and the Dr said "oh he's 7 MAYBE 8lbs"....well she had a whopping 9lb7oz baby boy!! Those damn u/s SUCK! LOL!

I love you and I'm SO proud of you!!!! You're truley an inspiration!!
Kiss Brina for me & Oniiii!!!

lol, that's kinda what the doc said about my sister. My mom was having trouble (ended up a c-section) and the doc was feeling her stomach saying "I don't know why she won't come out, she can't be more than 8 or 9 pounds" Out pops a 10lb 13oz whopper!! again, doctors word is just guess work in a white coat.

Congratulations! That is a huge baby! I was 4 days postdate, and my DD was only 6 lb. 1.5 oz. at birth.

I'm sorry about the tear though. I hope you heal quickly!

mg - I just logged on and read this. Congrats!!!

I don't think you were 38 weeks. Wasn't there some uncertainty about your ovulation date? I could be mixing up my stories, but didn't your due date coincide with an ovulation on cd5 after an af that was only spotting? Maybe that wasn't an af, but implantation spotting after an ovulation two weeks earlier.

Anyway, that isn't important. What is important is your happiness with your new little one.

Yeah, I went for a few months with relatively no period so all he went off was the early ultrasound. I don't believe I was just 38 weeks personally. I think I was either full term or overdue.

or Very sad did they have to do a transfusion?

9 pounds at 38 weeks?!? you're lying lol. Finally a good story! not some horrible story that makes people never want to have kids! wonder if I can do it without meds? Confused

PICTURES!!! Come on girl, you're a mom now, get on top of things!! lol, j/k take you time and bond and breastfeed (good to hear btw). It's all over! Now you can start parenting!!

yes Congrats again!


If I can do it w/o drugs so can you... I'm the biggest wuss ever lol. There is always something else they can give you in the hospital that changes your preception of pain but you still feel everything, takes the edge off and allows you to relax thru the pain, i forget what its called tho. I really think you can do it tho. Smile

Holy cow 9 pounder lol! Congrats to you, your amazing to do that w/o drugs!!! I feel you on the tear, even though mine was only a 3rd degree tear. Did you get an episiotomy too? I did in order to get his big block head out lol, it was also his shoulders comming out the angle that they did in which the 3rd degree tear was made. Hurt like hell lol, I so feel you! I'm proud of you, I knew you could do it! Sounds like your labor was fairly quick. Enjoy that perfect lil big girl of yours! Smile Can't wait for pics. Smile
