The absolute light of my life.
My contractions started January 9th, very scary moments from then on as my due date was March 31st. Wish she would've waited longer but so happy to have her in my life. She has been doing well aside from some bradys. Shes already gained 7 oz. Shes a strong little one.
Born at 34 weeks on January 26th at 12:52am.
4lbs 5oz 17.5"
She was born via cesarean section 4 hours after I was admitted to the hospital for severe pre-eclampsia. I never went into active labor, but was on the verge of eclampsia so she had to come out one way or another. She's been doing awesome and will hopefully get to go home this weekend.
Because of my experience I can't stress enough how important it is to be vigilant about sudden changes. My only indicators leading up may have been severe upper back pain in the evening. This isn't something that is usually associated with pre-eclampsia so I didn't know until I got a stabbing headache with nausea and vomiting. Everytime I see someone who was at my delivery they remind me of how lucky I was to come in when I did, so don't hesitate if you think something is wrong. *gets off soapbox*
Day 0
Born on the 4th of February at 2.51 am weighing 4 lbs 12 oz at 35+5 weeks. I had to be induced due to pre-eclampsia after spending time in the hospital . Her birth was so stressful but I'm lucky to have given birth to her vaginally. She was IGUR but she's done so well! After 8 days she's 20g above her birth weight!
I do stress that women look out for signs of pre-eclampsia and feeling like there's something off. My early admittance at the hospital kept the situation moderate and prevented any serious damage.
Went to my weekly high risk appointment that day and was told to go to the hospital they were inducing due to IUGR and minimal growth from the week before. Labor lasted 30 hrs once I started pushing her heart rate would crash every contraction. Dr opted for an emergency c-section because of her heart rate. They had to put me under instead of waiting for additional spinal to kick in.
She he stayed in my room the first night but has since been admitted to the NICU for low blood sugar levels. Hopefully she can come home in the next few days!
I was admitted to the hospital for severe pre-eclampsia and 4 days later it was decided for both of our health that she come out. Everyday in the NICU she is stronger and thriving.
I went to a routine appointment on Thursday (35+4) but mentioned I was feeling a little weird. My bp was 160/96. They sent me to the hospital for monitoring. The protein in my urine was at 300 but my labs were within the normal range. They decided to admit me to do a 24 hour urine catch. They ran labs again the next morning and came back to tell me we going to be having a baby because my platelets dropped to dangerously low over night. The immediately started me on magnesium sulfate and started the induction process. They checked my cervix. I was high and closed. Within a few hours I had the worst migraine imagineable. The next morning I was in so much pain I was begging for a csection which they informed me they couldn't do because my platelets were so low I would bleed out. Luckily they went up just enough so I could get an epidural which relived some of the headache. I progressed very slowly. Caroline was born that night with no tears or need for an episiotomy.
She spent some time in the well baby nursery but they ultimately decided it was best for her to be in the NICU. She is learning quickly. She is currently getting some light therapy and learning to eat. We love her so much and can't wait to introduce her to big brother!
Yet another listen to your body post!

Please refrain from commenting on this post unless you are sharing your own birth story or someone has delegated you to share their birth story. This post is "chatter free" so we can focus JUST on the poster's new babies rather than the 100s of congratulations posts that would follow each update.
Thanks!

TTC Since 8/2016
I was induced due to chronic hypertension. They started with a Foley bulb catheter to ripen my cervix. My cervix was very unfavorable, 1cm 40% effaced and -3. Third baby. The Foley got me to 4cm. I then started pitocin bc baby was too high up for breaking my water. I reached 12 with pitocin (max is 15) & I still was not contracting. Baby finally dropped low enough to break water. That immediately started my contractions. I got an epidural at 5cm, it dropped my BP really low & was scary but they were able to stabilize it. The epidural failed though & I ended up feeling everything. I went from 6 to 10 in about 5 minutes, & I pushed her out in half a push.
She's perfect and healthy, just working on a good latch. We are home now and I'm struggling emotionally due to her dad not being involved at all. I'm hoping with time things will feel normal again. My boys are in love with her
Best wishes for safe deliveries and healthy babies!
At 32 weeks I was diagnosed with a mild case of Preeclampsia. We watched my blood pressures and protein in my urine very closely. At 35 weeks, I had a high blood pressure scare, but it resolved itself. We decided that I would be induced sometime after 37 weeks.
I went in Wednesday evening to get the induction process started by first ripening up my cervix. That, however, helped to kick in normal labor only 4 hours later.
I pretty quickly progressed to 7 cm, but then stayed there for most of the day Thursday. By 10:30pm we decided that baby just wasn't progressing well enough and decided to proceed with the cesarean which turned out to be the best decision for me and baby girl.
She's the best!

At my 37 week appointment little one was measuring small so we went to meet with a specialist and we found our little girl was IUGR and not getting enough nutrients due to a velamentious cord insertion we found back at week 25. Her fluid was also very low so we were sent straight to labor and deliver and we met our precious baby girl at 7:18 pm via c-section on February 18th!
