Had My Baby!!!! Labour On Labour Day.... :p
Posted: 09-08-06 22:26pm

Hey ladies!!! Well...This was unexpected so soon ( at 37 weeks ) but heres the story
on friday ( sept 1) I went to the doctor for my regular check up at the doctors office and I had high blood pressure so he checked baby's heart beat and stuff and did an ultrasound in the office and said to go to the hospital rite aways cuz the amonic flud in the uterus where the baby is low. So I went to the maternity ward and they tested me all out and decided to do an ultrasound saturday. So I stayed the night and had my ultrasound sat. Morning and the doctor agreed that the fluid in the uterus is low which isnt good and the baby is smaller cuz the placenta isnt doing its job to the baby cuz of my high blood pressure. So the best thing to do would be to get the baby out so he could get what he needs to grow etc. So sunday morning I was scheduled to be induced by a cervidal.So I had the cervidal and it worked, it definatly gave me contractions and started me into labour, but not into full labour.So they said they would induce me again on monday with either another cervidal or a drip . So on monday morning they decided to give me the drip and I went into labour..Hard at 10am. The contractions were sooo painful and I was in so much pain I didnt know wat to do with myself. So I wanted something to calm me down which it did but definatly didnt take the pain away, so I got a shot of morphine. Just b4 1:00 I had the urge to push like there was no tomorrow and so the nurse didnt even think I was dialated yet at all! So she checked and I was already fully dialated! So I pushed!! 4 times I pushed within 8 min. And he was out! So my labour was like 4 hrs really :p I was very lucky and yah! He was 4 pounds 11 ounces. Small little guy. I haven't had any pain or anything since giving birth at all , not even swollen or anything just 2 little stiches so yay! We named him landon raymond therres, and he has to be in a special care nursery cuz hes small. He did really good the first day of breast feeding and the second day not so well, but is now doing really well. He has jaundice tho. And has been under this light to make it go away. And today is my first night home in a week. I have been feeding landon at the hospital since he has been born every 3 hrs 24 hrs a day. And the nurses told me to take the night off in my own bed and sleep and just pump at home. So I feel like I abandoned him tonight :( I dont know why! Hes perfectly fine with all the nurses. He is doing so good breast feeding and now that he has jaundice and is under lights its just really hard to be away from him and for him not to be home. And they say maybe he can go home tomorrow or the next day if his jaundice level goes down. And I cry frequently whenever I think about him..But anyways, thot I would just share, can't wait to have him home!!!!

Congratulations to you and baby .Landon(great name). I bet he will be with you soon! Don't feel bad! Sometimes it is better that he stays an extra day instead of having to take him back! I bet you will not forget .Labor day even though it comes on different dates! Don't forget the pic's!
All the best to you and yours!
