Remington Kay was born at 2:36 on 5/14 - 31 weeks 6 days, 17 days after my water broke. I really wanted to make it to 34 weeks, but my body had other plans! She came out crying though and Daddy got to cut the cord. She is in the NICU - breathing on her own with just pressure assistance from CPAP. 3 lbs 9oz 15.75in long.

Samuel Joseph was born at 12:40am at exactly 33 weeks. My water broke at 31+1 wks and I was on hospital bedrest with a goal to make it to 34 weeks. The days leading up to delivery I was having non - progressing back contractions but baby was always looking good on the heart tones.

After having some strange discharge, they were doing and internal check and saw some toes trying to sneak out of my barely dilated cervix (he was also breeched). Sam was born that evening 4 lbs+ 4oz. He is breathing on his own but has to gain weight and learn to properly eat. He is so stinkin cute!! Please think of us in your prayers.

Alaina Grace was born yesterday morning at 3:49 am. She was 34w4d and weighed 4 lbs 8oz and measured 18.5 in.

I spent the last week in the hospital after I went into L&D with contractions every 8 minutes. My fetal fibronectin was positive and I went from being dilated a finger tip to 2 cm 80% effaced pretty quickly. They admitted me, got me on magnesium, and started the steroids. They were able to stop it for that weekend and then I spent the next week in the hospital on procardia and getting shots of terbutaline here and there when they kicked back up. Was discharged to strict bed rest and was now dilated to 3 cm 90%. Made it at home 3 days before my water broke at 1:30 am yesterday. Baby girl was breech and I was already at 5 cm so off to the OR for a csection.

She's doing great considering! Off her CPAP already and breathing well. Hopefully she learns to eat quickly too!

Brylynn Danielle has arrived. Preeclampsia got the best of us and she had to come a little bit early. I had been on bed rest until Tuesday and we went to our OB appointment. He proceeded to tell us that my blood pressure was too high and wanted to watch me over night and do a few tests. So we were admitted to the hospital and put on complete bed rest.

Wednesday my blood pressure went up again and once they got my 24 hour urine collection back, they decided it would be best for me if we had a csection to deliver the baby.

She came out hollering at 1154pm on 5/28/14 weighting 3 lbs 7 oz 17inches long. So far she is done amazing with her breathing, we know we have a while ahead of us in the NICu, but she is a fighter!

ETA: She was born at 33 weeks.

glitterclaws · June 2014

Baby Boy Smith has arrived! I went to my OB appt Tuesday morning at 34w1d and found out the preeclampsia had moved from mild to severe. After an exciting ambulance ride, the on call dr checked and my placenta previa was still in place. At 3:52pm, I had a c section and our little boy joined the family at 5lbs even and 18.25in long.

At just 3hrs shy of 2 days old, his CPAP is off and he is regulating his own body temp well. Now if we could just figure out this eating business we'd be all good!!

Eta- words are hard and sorry for upside down pics. I need a nap!

Madeleine Lily made her entrance on June 5th at 2:56pm, weighing 2 lbs, 10 ounces and is 15" long. Cannot believe she's here.

I'm more of just a lingerer (sp?) Since after first tri, but my little girl was born 6/9 at 6:28pm after a trip to the OB clinic to check if my water was leaking. Needless to say it was! She was born at 36+5, weighs 6lbs 7oz, and is 19.5in. She's feeding great and only had to spend an hour in the NICU.

Thanks for all your great advice and entertaining conversation. Wishing everyone safe deliveries and healthy babies!

I guess my little monster wanted his daddy to be here for his entrance to this world, he was leaving for rimpac in two days and we didn't have a guarantee that he would be able to be here on time. Xavi was born 6/10 (my grandmothers birthday). My water broke early at 36w4d. My husband delivered our son at 16:04 weighing only 6 lb 8 oz and measuring exactly 19 in. He is doing great, so great that we might get discharged today.

PregsMcSnoozalot · June 2014

Baby boy was born this morning by c section (yes, on a Friday the 13th Super Moon!) at 8:42am, weighing 6 pounds and 6 ounces, 20 inches long.

I was 36 weeks on the dot and unfortunately baby has had a hard time breathing, so he is on a breathing tube now in the NICU, but doing ok--he's stable now

Can't wait to get some mobility goin' on so I can go see him!

hgtvmom · June 2014

Hannah Grace was born on Friday the 13th at 9:03 pm at exactly 37 weeks. Another c-section due to iugr and being transverse. She weighed in at 4 pounds 13 oz and is doing well! In the nicu being monitored due to her peanut status.

Water indeed broke, start pitocin
Epidural (I love modern medicine)
6 hours later and a few pushes later...
6 lbs, 6 oz
18 inches long
Will stay 48 hours for monitoring because bag of waters broken over 18 hours
Happy, healthy, tired.

Way late to the game, but it's been a long week!!

Oliver August was born at 7:58 on 6/9/14. My water broke about 24 hours or more before that and didn't figure it out until Monday. He is 5 lbs 12 oz and was 34 weeks on the nose.

He's spent all his time in NICU but is doing better now, we are just struggling to learn to eat - but breathing is finally under control as of now and we are getting to hold him more!

Another team green turned blue:) Pablo joined us this morning at 946am. I did not get full on preeclampsia thus time, just PIH. Due to my history with DS#1 being a 30 weeker, Dr. Decided it would be best to deliver today at 36w5d. He's a trooper so far and eating very well.

jnnfrrose6 · June 2014

Team green went pink this morning! Baby girl's name is TBD. After low fluids Friday and overnight for monitoring fluids looked to be up. Had my weekly check up yesterday and fluids were low again.

Eliana Teresa (nickname Ellie) was born 6/20 at 5:31pm by emergency c section. I was supposed to check in 6/20 at 10pm to start Cytotec for induction 6/21. Of course, Miss Ellie had other plans and started my labor herself in the wee hours of the morning 6/20 (also her original due date was 7/11). She spent about 6 hours in the NICU after birth but is doing really well now. Already breastfeeding with skin to skin contact pretty quickly after birth. I was exactly 37 weeks. She weighs in at 5 pounds, 7 ounces and 19 inches long.
