Bramwell Carrick: birth story

Moandsweetpea · February 2012

Well ladies, things sure can change fast!! It was decided Monday afternoon that due to increased swelling and edema our little baby Ieshee needed to come meet the world!

I was induced yesterday around 2pm and labored through the night. By 5am this morning I was dilated to a 7 and shortly thereafter my water fully broke. In no time at all I was at a 10 and baby was on the way!

Bramwell Carrick was born this morning at 6:22am weighing 4# 15oz and measuring 17inches long. I was able to do it vaginally without an epidural, and MH was an amazing coach.

Bram is in the NICU on a ventilator and the swelling and liquid seems to be subsiding on its own. He is so adorable and I can't wait to hold and snuggle him!

Pics to come soon. Thanks for all the support, I'm so excited for this little guy and I'm confident he is going to be okay.

What a good size for that gestational age! Wishing him a short and uneventful NICU stay. Congrats on your little guy! Sending thoughts and Prayers )

FWIW - DD2 was born at that same gestation - 33 wk 5 d and is a completely healthy, active toddler. So it might be scary now, but just hang in there!!
