Hello all! I am so happy to be able to intro over here from PaIF. For those who don't know me, my husband and I took a 3 1/2 half year journey to get to be parents. Our diagnosis was MIF and IVF w/ICSI is our only option. We were extremely lucky to get pregnant on our first IVF and we have 3 frosties left so we are hoping to give our Emma some siblings in the future. I am so happy to be joining you all!
Here's my birth story from PaIF:
Emma Lynn was born Feb 23 at 5:29 PM at 38 weeks 3 days. I went to my Dr appointment Friday morning and according to the growth u/s she had only gained about 5oz in 2 weeks, so they decided to induce. I went in Friday night for a cervidil induction. Saturday morning at 8am I was 2-3 cm and the Dr broke my water and started pitocin. Had two epidurals that completely stopped working after two hours, so I got to have an unplanned pain med-free birth. Cried like a baby because it hurt so bad. Pushed for about an hour, which was pretty good considering she was still -2 station when we started. Normally they would have had me labor down for an hour but since I was in so much pain we decided to push. I ended up with some pretty good internal tears but otherwise we are both doing great! Emma is 5lb 14oz and 19 inches long, and everyone says she looks like mommy
I wanted a photo with the newspaper of the day she was born and love that this was the top headline. After 3 1/2 years of heartbreak she really is a dream come true!
