Re: Aaron's Birth Story
Congrats!!
But I have to ask why were you allowed to go almost 3 days with a broken bag of waters? Where I gave birth if you don't have the baby with 24 hours of water breaking you have to have a c-section due to risk of infection.
wow I am really surprised my hospital is so strict about the 24 hour rule. Which BTW I think my hospital is totally lame for having that rule ou are good example as to why the rules need to change.
This. My doctors nor the hospital would let anyone go more then 24 hours after your water breaks.
Congratulations!
