Lennon Ashton arrived at 6:35 pm on 5/10 at 37 wks and 6 days. I had induction due to Pregnancy Induced Hypertension. Born weighing 9lbs 2 ozs and 22 inches long!! He is a big boy and could've been almost 11 lbs had I gone to EDD may 25!
About 10 hrs of pitocin and after about 1.5 hrs pushing had vacuum assisted birth. Lennons was facing wrong direction so it made it harder for him to pass my pelvic bone (and he's large ).
BEST Mother's Day gift ever!! We are so in love with him and so blessed he is healthy and beautiful boy!
Henri Leon Matthieu arrived May 10th at 41w 2d. My big boy is 10 lbs 1 ozs and 22 in long. He was delivered vaginally. I am soooooo in love with my little men.
Audra Jude (Team Green) was born at 12:54AM on her due date, Mother's Day. After fighting back labor for most of the day, an epidural made mommy feel MUCH better and the rest of the process was smooth and quick. She was 7lbs 4oz. We are completely in love with our little lady.
Nolan Wesley was born on 5/9 at 4:42 pm. My water broke the previous night at 11:30 and we got to the hospital shortly after midnight. I was in labor for quite a while and they had to start pitocin to get things going. The epi made things so much easier, but I still ended up pushing for over two hours and the epi was wearing off, which made things hard. I would do it all over again for him though! He was 8 lb 6 oz and 21 in long.
Ethan Mathew was born on May 12th at 41 weeks via RCS. I made no progress toward my VBAC goal, so RCS it was. He was 7lbs 14oz and 19.75 inches long. I definitely feel a lot better than after my first section. So glad he is here safe and sound. May post a pic later.
Amelia Grace was born 5/6/14 at 7:32am via induced (due to severe pre eclampsia) vaginal delivery at exactly 37wks. Weighed 6lbs 14oz and 20" long. She's such a sweetheart! Will follow up with birth story later and attach to here if I get time! haha
Carter was born at 11:54pm on may 11! Made it just in time for the last few mins of Mother's Day. Came into the hospital at 10pm and had him about two hours later. Fast and med free. We're in love.
Hi everyone! Gabriel came out earlier April 19,14 @ 6:14pm via Normal delivery with 3rd deg tear. weighing 5lbs 10oz. at 36wks and 2days! Congratulations to all may mommas:-)
Claire Elizabeth was born 5/11 at 9:54am in a blizzard via C-Section after failure to continue to dilate threw my plans for a natural med free birth plan out the window. She was 7lbs 12oz, 20.5", and the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. My husband agrees
Logan Jameson born at 38+3 on 05/10/14 at 12:02 PM weighing 8 lbs 14 oz and measuring 21" long. Mom was admitted for PIH and they tried to induce. After 2 rounds of cervidil and absolutely no progression, they started me on pitocin. PIH rapidly turned into HELLP and he was born via emergency C/S. We're finally home and both doing well.
I thought I already knew what love was, but I had no idea.
Weston Jennings born 5/13/14 at 1:04 am. 7 lbs 1 ounce; 20 inches; GA of 38w6d.
I had my membranes swept on Friday at about 1. Started having cx's before I got home from the doctor's office. Continued to have latent labor for approximately the next 2.5 days. Water broke at 2 am Monday morning. Went to hospital as I was trying for a vbac. Labored naturally for several hours but progressed only to 4 cm. Pit was started. After approximately 6 hours on pit with increasing dose and walking the halls, still no progress. Internal monitor was placed to monitor contraction strength and pit was really cranked up. Contractions went off the charts and became almost constant. Baby went in distress (and Mom felt in distress from pain) so pit was turned down and eventually off. Mom got epi and baby really went in distress so Internal head monitor placed on the baby (because of baby hr decels) and it looked like we were headed for a RCS, but thank the Good Lord when they placed it they found Mom was almost complete (100 percent effaced, good station, 8 cm) so Mom just given oxygen and monitoring contiued. Then it was time to push but Dr only allowed Mom to push every other contraction due to decels. After some tearing and an episiotomy, baby came out healthy...23 hours after water broke. I got my vbac!
Edit: Oh and I forgot to add that my son had the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice! So did my first son!
