Started having contractions around 10:50 pm last night. Went to l&d and I'd gone from 2 cm dilated (from a previous l&d trip a week ago) to 4 cm dilated. My contractions we're stop and go for a while. They broke my water at 9am (6cm dilated) and I had Naomi at 11:15 am. It was a little crazy... Ended up pushing her out in 2 pushes with just my nurse in the room. She was sitting beside me and had to catch her as she came out. They laid her on my stomach until a flood of nurses and my doctor got there. She was 36 weeks and 4 days. Weighed in at 6 lb 10 oz (same size as my first baby when he was born at 38 weeks). She is healthy and issue free!
Max Alan Pereyra was born at 37w1d via c-section and weighed in at a whopping 8#7oz!!! He has been amazing and has had absolutely NO problems whatsoever! We are truly blessed!!! We are in love!!!
Water broke around 5:20pm while making dinner 7/14, at 37 w 1 day. Rushed around the house throwing last minute things into the hospital bag and left for the hospital. Matthew Adam was born at 3:39am on 7/15, 19 days early. 5 lb. 11.2 oz and 19 inches. I developed a fever during labor and had to be put on antibiotics. So Matthew was taken to the NICU and both of us had to stay a minimum 48 hours and go through a couple more rounds of antibiotics. I was cleared first thing Friday morning (7/17), he wasn't cleared until later in the afternoon. Brought Matthew home Friday night 7/17, been a rough transition home since we're now working on developing our own routine since the NICU had him on their idea of his schedule.
Leo Ippoliti was born on July 19th at 2:30 am weighing 7lbs and 3 oz at 21 inches long. Due to mommy on prednisone, baby's heart rate was flat and escalated. Baby was taken via c-section under general anesthesia ah exactly 38 weeks. We were so worried but the doctors were amazing. He's so precious.
Elayna JaeLynn born July 19th at 5:37 a.m. (due Aug 28th) weighing 4lbs 4.8oz and 17.75 inches. I was put in the hospital for preeclampsia and then was induced in two days, was only in labor for 13 hours from start to finish. Baby girl is in the nicu but doing good. No problems besides sleeping during feedings so she has a tube to her finish her bottles when she falls asleep. And she may have to go under a light for jaundice but should only be for 24 hours. Can't wait for her to come home, just waiting for her to pick up feeding.
Harini Born on July 17 by c-section in 37 weeks.She n I doing perfect.she is 6 pound .me n my hubby are in flood of happiness coz we waited for her near two decades after marriage
Matthew Jacob born 7/21/15 at 2:28am via csection due to preeclampsia and a drop in baby's heart rate. 4lbs,8oz 19 inches long. He's doing awesome and is not requiring any of the NICU services at this point aside from raising his sugar levels right after birth. Sooooo in love with this little boy
Conrad David born July 14th t 1:31pm at 34weeks. He weighed 6lbs 3oz and was 17.75 inches long. He's got quite the birth story but the most important thing is that he is healthy and happy and more beautiful than we could have imagined! Trust your bodies and intuition ladies and ROCK your birth!!
Skyler Mark Raymond P. was born 7/21/2015 at 9:06 pm, he weighed 6 lbs 10 oz and 20 inches long. I started having contractions several weeks ago due to a fall and today they became stronger and closer together, when I arrived at the hospital I was already 5 cm and 80% effaced. I was 37 weeks 5 days and my due date was 8/6/2015. We are so in love with our little boy, he is doing amazing!
Perry Alexander was born July 21st at 7:09 PM weighing 7 lbs 1oz and was 20 inches long. Water broke at 1:10 am after a trip to the bathroom! We are both doing wonderful! I fall more and more in love every time I look at him. By far, he is my greatest accomplishment! My original due date was August 5th. Good luck to everyone! Treasure each moment and soak it all in! I know we are!!!
My little surrogate twins were born at 36w + 4 after spending a month on hospital bedrest due to preterm labor and dilated to 5cm. Labor started again 7/10 and Baby A was born at 11:58pm, and Baby B came six minutes later on 7/11! Their dads are thrilled and so in love with them.

Everett Lee was born today July 22nd at 10:06 am. We made it to the hospital at 8:00 and the epidural took effect right at crowning. Barely made it. Healthy at 6 lbs even, 19". I was supposed to be induced Friday due to health reasons, but he had another idea!
Baby Sunshine was born 7/22 at 2:50 pm. He weighed 7lbs 2oz and was 20 inches long. He was born at 38 weeks. No complications and a very easy delivery. 2 pushes and he was out and just one more for the placenta. I went into labor around 1am and my water broke at 7am while using the bathroom. When I arrived at LD around 8:30 I was 5cm and 90% effaced. He was born at 2:50 and my husband BARELY made delivery because his flight was a bit delayed. In the end, every single pain and sleepless night was worth it. He is perfect and we are obsessed!! I just keep staring at him. Thank you ladies that helped the time until this day pass with your musings, advice and warmth. August 15 is the shiz!!!! :x
Elijah Dennis decided to come exactly 2 weeks early on July 20. He was 7 lb 4 oz and 20 1/4 inches. We went to the hospital Monday around 11 am when they were 4-5 mins apart and I was dilated 4-5 cm. I labored naturally until I was about 7-8 cm and then was very relieved to get an epidural. After 24 minutes of pushing we had our miracle baby! I had internal and external tears and a lot of bleeding but after a terrible hour in the OR I was reunited with my baby boy.
Best of luck to the rest of you mommies! As a FTM I can say that even though it didn't go as I had envisioned, my little man made every single second worth it
Kenlie Faith arrived yesterday 7/22/15 at 1:42 pm. I had my 36 week doctors appt on Tuesday morning and was told I was 7 cm dilated. I went to the hospital the next morning and was 8 cm dilated 80% effaced and having contractions every 3-5 minutes. I could not feel any of the contractions. I only knew because the monitor was showing that. I was admitted to L&D. My doctor broke my water and Kenlie was born 14 minutes and 2 pushes later. It was a quick and almost pain free experience. She weighs 7 lbs 4 oz and is 19.5 inches long. She has passed all of her screenings with flying colors. Praise God! Good luck to everyone else!
Hi Mamas! Seraphina Mae came fast and furious on 7/20. Water broke, got to the hospital around 8pm and was dialated to 5. Around 10:20 I started having contractions, I went from 6cm to 10cm in a half hour, no drugs because I progressed so quickly. She was born at 11:31pm. We are both fabulous and resting at home today!
Ava Bailey was born July 23rd at 8:02 am. My doctor induced labor on Wednesday morning at 12:30am. After my blood pressure continued to rise. I was in labor for over 31 hours but today I was able to delivere a 6lbs 15oz baby girl born at only 37weeks and 4 days gestation. My and the DH are so I love with our little angle.
Our little Lincoln Wayne was born at 2:01pm after 1hr16mins of pushing at 37weeks1day due to preeclampsia. He is 7lbs2oz & 19.5 inches long. He's gorgeous, just like his daddy and we couldn't be more thankful or blessed. We are soooo in love.

Declan Dean Martin born 7/22/15 @ 2:58am due to cholestasls of the liver. 36 weeks and 4 days, original due date was August 15th. They started inducing me at 1130pm on 7/20. Very long labor. They broke my water at 5cm and I didn''t have any pain from contractions until 6cm (the doctors thought I was crazy lol) It was very touch and go for a while.. babies heart rate kept dropping after contractions. BUT at 1:30am I was finally 10cm dilated and started pushing and he was out at 2:58am and I had no tearing!! yay!
Finally able to post this in the right place! Lucy Brielle was born 7/14 at 37 weeks 2 days at 9:24 am. She was 7lbs 11 oz and 19" long! For all you ladies wondering how you will know when you're in labor, GOOD GOD you will know. I thought I was dying. DH had to fill out my paperwork for the epidural and I screamed at him to "hurry the f*** up." So unlike me. Then it asked for my current weight. I could hear him in the hall telling the anethesiologist that he was going to have to ask how much I weighed because he refused. Once that thing was in, it was sweet relief. Once they got her out with the vaccuum, I didn't even care that my OB was literally elbow deep in my uterus removing the placenta, I was so in love. She is 11 days old and we're both doing great!
My little Kennan and Karter were born on 7/23 at 1:24 PM. They made it to 35w0d after surviving twin to twin transfusion, IUGR and discordant/marginal placental share. I hated getting a c-section, but I am so glad they are here!
Kennan weighed 6lbs 11oz and has developed a lung issue that required intervention, but he is only a day or two away from having the breathing tube removed.
Karter was 2 lbs 10 oz and is doing great! I got to hold him today and nurse him for a bit. We will go home on Monday without our babies, but the NICU team is absolutely phenomenal. Good luck to all remaining August ladies!
Little Riley was born July 25th at 127pm. The foley didn't dilate me much so they started the pit. I had moderate contractions and a couple hours later the Dr broke my water. Once he did Riley's heart rate dropped and they did an emergency c section. Our little girl is perfect 5 lb 12 oz. blood sugars are good and we are so thankful she is here now.
Annaliese Lynn was born 7/23 at exactly 37 weeks due to IUGR. She's 4# 15oz and 18 1/4 inches. She has to work pretty hard to breath, so we will be in the NICU for a while. I think its harder on me than Annie though. Its killing me not to get to hold her much! But we are thankful for an overall healthy little peanut, and so in love.
Evelyn Rose born 7/18 at 1:46am. 5lbs 8oz and 19in. I was induced at 37 weeks due to PIH. Baby took her sweet time getting ready to come out but finally made her appearance after 31 hrs. Spent 2 days in a billi blanket due to jaundice, but all clear now and perfectly healthy
Lucy Isabelle was born 7/27. She weighs 7lbs 3 oz and 19 3/4 long. She is perfect! Her big sister was happy to get to feed her and finally meet her. Mommy is recovering from a respeat cs. So far everything is going very smoothly.
So after being stuck at a 4 for over a week my little guy decided it was time to make his debut. Water broke at 1:38 am. Although we only made it to 37 wks 4 days he was 22 inches long and 8 pounds 12.6 ounces. Small episiotomy and a little tear at my pee hole (excuse the terminology) probably would've been worse if my body hadn't been working with my cervix since last Friday. He is perfect and healthy as can be! We just adore our little mister Coy. Will post pics as soon as I can figure out how due date Aug 14th, birthday 7/28/2015 at 6:34 am.
Easton Wyatt was born at 8:58 this morning July 28th via scheduled C section due to breech position. I was so scared going in to the surgery but it went flawless and our little man is here, perfect in every way! Due date was 8/4 but they took him a week early to avoid having me go into labor. Recovering now and trying to get the hang of this breastfeeding thing. Good luck August mamas!!!
Grayson Richard joined us 7/28 at 3:30am weighing 7lbs and measuring 19in long. He decided he did not want to wait until Thursday for his scheduled c-section as my water broke this morning at 1:30. DS, Dad, and I are all in love with our newest family member!
Melody Anne Marie, born 7/28 @ 8:09 via sceduled (repeat) c-section. Weighed in a 8 lbs 5 oz, 19.5 inches long. She had inhaled some amniotic fluid and so yesterday was on oxygen for an hour or so and closely monitered. Hoping she will have more freedom with us today and can have a bottle instead of iv today. We are so in love, and can't wait for her to meet her big brother today! Can't get a pic to load :-(
Sophie Irene Livingstone was born at 8:42am on July 28th Planned c section due to placenta previa. 6lb 13oz, 19 3/4 inches. We are so in love she is just perfect ❤️❤️
