Natural Birth

I did it!!

Dilan finally came into the world at 1:05 am 4/25/12. 6 pounds 10 ounces of kicking,screaming beauty. I am so impressed with how awesome my husband was helping me labor at home. I thought most of labor was totally manageable. Pushing though was by far the hardest thing I have ever done on my life. My face is so swollen and I broke blood vessels in both eyes. I didn't have any external tearing but tore badly very high internally. So my med-free birth ended with an ambulance transfer, spinal and other drugs. 

Hopefully we will be out of the hospital by lunchtime tomorrow. Sorry for the lack of pics. I'll post a birth story and pics as soon as I can.

Thanks to those who were thinking of us! Any ladies out there wondering of you can handle nb. You can!!!!!!!!!! Hypnobabies was amazing.

Re: I did it!!

  • I know you don't know me, but congratulations! I get so excited hearing about L&Ds and new babies haha

    That's a huge bummer about the tearing and the transfer, but its good that everyone is healthy. :D Have a good night!

    A woman's life is nine parts mess to one part magic, you'll learn that soon enough...and the parts that look like magic turn out to be the messiest of all.
  • I am ecstatic for you (aside from that awful tearing) and so proud of you!!  Now, could you please send some labor vibes my way?
