Had my baby boy

angie05161 · November 2009

I haven't posted much lately since I've been so busy with my new baby boy, but here I am at midnight unable to get him to sleep, so I thought I'd post my short labor story.

I was due on 10/16, but since Owen was stubborn, he didn't want to come out. I was induced on 10/23 at ~7:30 am. After ~17 hours of very slow labor that wasn't progressing, I made it to 10 cm. We all didn't think I'd make it there. I pushed for 1 - 1 1/2 hours and he didn't want to come out. Dr said it would prob take 4-5 hours of hard pushing. We opted for the c-section.

Owen was born on 10/24 at 12:10 am. I'm recovering well from the c-section, but still have pain every once in a while. Owen is great other than the whole sleep thing. Oh and he eats ALL THE TIME!!! I think he's been attached to my breast for 20 out of 24 hours today. I hope that ends soon.
