All are in NICU and doing well on high flow O2. There were two neonatologists and both are just so sweet and caring, I know my babes are in good hands
Two years, two losses and three IUIs...
We are having TRIPLETS!
EDD 1/26/16
GGB born November 2015!
Kyriakos (Jack) Isiah born at 11:43am, 1.870kg and 42cm long.
Theodosia (Sula) Rose born at 11:44am 1.730kg and 45cm long.
Both babies are doing incredibly well, breathing on their own from birth and only required feeding tubes. They are now in the same open crib in the special care nursery. Hopefully babies will be home by Christmas
She came out pink and open-eyed. She had to be intubated for a overnight but they removed her tubes this morning. She still has a cannula to her nostrils but they are reducing the air flow slowly every 8 hours. She also has a feeding tube for glucose water and breast milk/ formula.
She will come home when she can breathe without any assistance, can suck from the breast or a bottle and has gained weight. Can be anywhere from 2 weeks to a month. Thanks for all your positive thoughts and prayers.
I woke up on the first with a lot of cramping and contractions. They increased thoughout the day, so my doctors decided to just take her out (even though she was early) because it's not safe for me to labor. She came out crying, but then needed some breathing help. She needed help inflating her lungs for a couple of days, but now she's breathing on her own. Next up: getting her off the feeding tube and getting her to eat on her own.
She'll be coming home in 2 - 3 weeks. All depending on how fast she progresses.
We are in love.
I was admitted to hospital one week ago with pre eclampsia. Symptoms got much worse over the weekend so the doctors decided to deliver early. We're both doing well now.
I wanna thank all u mommies for all the help reading ur posts every week helped me so much.
Following a long IOL for IUGR lasting 4 days. I had my membranes ruptured and within 2 hrs 10 mins was fully dilated. She was born 25 minutes later. An initially long start, but super quick ending for my first baby. Thanks for all the support from the board. Good luck mummys. Its not easy but its worth it!
I woke up at 4:00 am to use the bathroom and realized I was in labor. I was 9cm and fully effaced when we arrived at the hospital. 20 minutes and 3 pushes after we got to there Colin was born! I suppose he was very excited to meet us!
My induction was scheduled for the 23rd due to GD but little man had his own ideas. My water broke at home around 10:50pm on 12/21and Jordan Charles was born at 8:52am 12/22. Pushed for 45 minutes with his face sunny side up but overall went well.
Both girls are healthy, strong, and great feeders! I can't stop cuddling them, they're my two favourite things in the whole world!

We started induction on Friday at 6am -water broke Saturday at 5:15am.
He's better than I could ever dream of
Abby Rose was born December 26th at 1:40pm, at 7 lbs 1 oz and 20 inches! My water broke at 11:45ish on Christmas and we went straight to the hospital where I was induced. The contractions were terrible, the epidural was terrible, and the actual pushing was terrible (despite being on 45 minutes)...BUT the end result is the greatest thing that ever happened to me and I am so in love with my new daughter!

Water broke at 1:30am last night. I was fully dilated within an hour of contractions starting. Fast easy labor with no complications. Going home tomorrow.
After 29 hours of labor but only, 30 minutes of pushing,we welcomed Aria Belle to the world on 12/27. 6lbs 4 oz and 18 inches long. She was delivered at 39 wks 2 days. Such a joy and a blessing

Water broke but I wasn't in active labor when I got to the hospital so they started me on pitocin. They started me off super slow since I preferred an unmedicated birth. Well I guess that's all I needed because only 3 hrs of active labor and he was here. I broke down at 8 and asked for an epideral showed up at 9 and I was dilated to 10 so that plan went out the window! Lol Thank goodness my doctor was already here because I only pushed for 10 minutes and my perfect little boy was out! Some how I didn't tear either!
So that went pretty good being drug free and all but then my Placenta would not detach. Long story short I had to have a Procedure done to get it out. I was knocked out and lost a lot of blood. I finally got to nurse my baby at midnight and he did great! Do to my massive blood loss I have been on bedrest all day but probably a good thing since I passed out twice this morning when peeing. But baby is perfect and I'm doing a lot better.

Alex was born via planned c-section at 7:44 this morning. There were no complications and we are both resting comfortably. We will likely go home in a few days. He is currently sleeping off his last nursing feast and if he continues to eat as well as he has been I will be skin and bones in a week. I've apparently birthed a piglet!
My water broke at 5am on Christmas Eve. I had to get pitocen due to not dilating. Real labor started around 2pm. I got my epidural at 24 hours of labor at 7am on Christmas Day. I am so in love with him. He has had struggles with his blood sugar. And is now having to stay another day in the hospital(we have been here for 4) due to jaundice.
6lbs 14 ounces.
20 hours of unmediated labor and then an emergency c-section because his head got stuck and he didn't like it too much. What a crazy experience. 10 hours of labor at home before being admitted at 5cm. Really wish I had an epidural it would have saved me so much pain in the end. The longest part (it felt like) was waiting for the anesthetist who had actually just gone home and had to turn around and come back. I was 39 + 3. Callum was born on my little brothers birthday
