Finally getting to my birth story long

justjess421 · December 2013

As a lot of you ladies know I had my little boy on the 30th at 35 weeks to the day! We was healthy but did develop jaundice a day after he was born but did not need to stay in the hospital any extra time thank goodness! He got to go home with a bili blanket and was a little glow worm from a week! So it had been very hectic going back and forth to the hospital to get his bilirubin levels check every day last week. Finally on Saturday we got the news he was good to go! So here I am a 10 days after giving birth and I still can't believe he is here! But a week before I had him I lost my mucus plug but my doctor was not concern about it. So for the next week I continued to go to work everyday like usual. That Friday I was at work and it was about 2 when I had to go to the bathroom. Felt a little gush walking there but didn't know if it was pee or not. But after getting up from the toliet and fluid came gushing out I knew my water had broke. My doctor sent to to a different hospital down town because he was so early. I was 3 cm when I arrived there after an ambulance ride from my original hospital to the one down town. I had to harvest a totally different doctor than the ones I had been seeing. I had never met her before but she was awesome! To bad I can't remember her name! I labored through out the night and got an epidural around 1 am. It's the weirdest feeling in the world that is for sure! But it was awesome and allowed me to get some sleep! We had a ton of people there who waited all night long for the big moment! It was my bf, mom, dad, dads wife, my aunt, my bfs mom, and his gram! Finally around 8 it was time to push! I only pushed for an hour and he was here! No tearing but did have to have a episiotomy ( didn't even feel it) but it was just a very small cut. Over all the labor was long (19 hours) but it went super fast and wasn't nearly has bad as I thought it would be! They took him away as soon as he was born to make sure he was ok but he never left the room and was given to me very shortly after he was born! He was 6lbs 3 oz and 18.5 inches long! We spent 2 days in the hospital and then got to go home! He is doing great! Very easy going baby... Sleeps most of the time and very rarely ever fusses! Only have hard 2 nights he was up for longer than his feedings and all the others I would feed him and he would go back to sleep! Still can't believe my little Colton is 10 days old and is here! He's my little miracle!! Hope all you ladies have easy deliveries like I did!

@ megs12914 hang in there! I was amazed at how well he did... The doctors prepared me for what could happen and were amazed he was doing as good as he did! It's all because of the many many prayers we had going out for him! Sending some your way!
