Did I win? Did I win? M'14 awards.

So....did we want to get these started? Is there anyone else still pregnant?

If not, I think I won last baby. And although I haven't done a full birth story, lb1117 got most of it, and I think I have a good shot at longest labor...

theluckiest9

I don't think they've been done. You def could win longest labor! How are you guys settling in?

Speaking of awards - most overdue should be one!!!

saisongbird

We're slowly getting there. There were complications with my c-section and Allison was running a fever at delivery, so of course she is now in the nicu until Monday. I just want my sweet little girl with me. Normally I would be discharged today but I think it's going to be tomorrow (which I don't mind).

You def get some type of award if not that one @saisongbird.

kaking78

I nominate myself for most overdue - Julian was 41 weeks 6 days by our latest EDD, 42 weeks 4 days by the LMP date.

Some awards we could nominate people for:

-Best advice

-Most Likely to Get a BFP 

-Most Likely to Flame

For best advice, I think we need to break it down.

For instance: best baby wearer advice, best newborn advice, etc.

Or maybe nominate "experts".

One day I will get tired of being the penis expert, but that day has not yet come.

@pepperedmoth because you are such an expert, do you have high standards for your SO penis? This is a legit question, as I always wondered if male obgyn's have high standards for their partners lady bits.

I think Q might get biggest baby award?? Haha (10lb 1oz) come to think of it that should qualify me for some sort of award for birthing him no?! Haha jk

Sorry... Tanner has Q beat. He was 11 lbs 5 oz and I also pushed that porker out.

I had multiple delivery methods within 30 minutes of each other...

beachcomberbride

I was on bed rest with steady contractions every 3-5 minutes from 36 weeks to 39 weeks, several trips back and forth to the hospital, then from the time my water broke to delivery was 36 hours.

@Laura8388 Oh my gosh, how did they let you go 8 days??? We practically had to get an act of congress for them not to rush to c-section after 24. The OB's at our hospital all said that 48 is the most you can go without a serious emergency c-section because of risk of infection and distress.

Most hrs in labor and remaining at 1cm--29 hrs here. Lazy cervix=emergency c-section.

@beachcomberbride‌ , Laura8388 water broke early, not near term. At that point, the benefits of keeping baby in outweigh the risk for infection. Those 8 days can mean the chances for baby's survival goes from 50/50 to 90/10

Ah gotcha!!!  

jennybean80

I was 7 cm dilated for 1 week 6 days. And delivered the twins 1 hour 16 minutes apart (Audrey was stubborn...).

I think (correct me if i am wrong) @CHPhotoMama‌ may have you beat for longest labor.

Edit: i just reread this. You said longest remaining at 1cm.
That you may get the award for! Sorry!

How did I miss this??

We married before I started working urology, so comparisons never entered in....happily it turns out he compares very well. ;-)

Really though the size of the flaccid penis has little to do with the size of the erect one, and honestly IDGAF anyway! As the poet says, "comparisons are odious."

pepperedmoth

If there's a "water broken longest at term" award I get it. 56 hours!

babylimas

I feel like I deserve some kind of award! I won't lie - I thrive on affirmation.

@bmerr‌ you deserve lots of alcohol for going med free. You med free women are saints!!!!
