Penelope Emilia EDD: 11/9 Born: 10/23 6 lbs 5 oz 20 in long
Baby Penny came almost 3 weeks early and is considered early term. Very sleepy but finally at two weeks waking up to eat on her own (sometimes). Birth- My water erupted the afternoon of the 22nd, Gallons of amniotic fluid while speaking to our kitchen contractor. I was later enduced and after 20 min of active labor and 5 sets of pushes. I back labored entire time until epidural and never felt a front contraction. After 3 tears and some stitches, she was here. She is amazing and best thing that's ever happened to us.
Sorry we aren't posting any photos online, but she is gorgeous
ps sorry for any spelling errors, can't think without sleep!
Calvin Richard EDD: 11/1 Birthday: 11/4 9 lbs, 10oz and 22 inches
My water broke just before my alarm went off for work at 6am on the morning of the Nov 4th. Contractions very quickly started and intensified. We left for the hospital when they were 2 minutes apart. By the time I was checked at the hospital around 9:30am, I was 6cm dilated. Transition from 8 to 10cm was the most challenging time, but my husband talked me through every moment and we made it with no epidural. After about 30 minutes of pushing, our boy was out! I had some 2nd degree tearing, but nothing out of the ordinary for a big baby like ours. We're thrilled to be home now with Calvin. Breastfeeding has been a challenge but we are sticking with it. Feeling so lucky to have this wonderful boy in my arms! Good luck to all the moms on this board - Lets keep in touch!
7lbs 5oz and 19 inches of pure perfection! We are on night 3 in the hospital because he has jaundice, but other than that everything is great! We just can't wait to get to take him home!
I started having really bad period like cramps at 2pm on thursday. I called the dr office around 3 but my doctor isn't there so the nurses advised me to go to L&D. I didn't go because I wasn't having contractions. The pain didn't go away but the intensity was changing. Around midnight, I couldn't bear the pain anymore so I decided to go to L&D. I was sent home after an hour because I was not dilated. They told me that my body was just prepping and to just take tylenol for the pain. I didn't take tylenol because I wanted to know if the pain will go away on it's own but it didn't. I called the dr office around 9am yesterday because I was still having the pain and it was starting to become really strong. She told me to go to her office to be checked. I was 3cm dilated when she checked me. She said that I was in labor and the pain I was having were contractions. She asked me if I want to go home or if I want to be admitted because L&D was already full. I decided to stay because I want to have time to get my epidural. Dilation didn't progress til I got my epidural.I got my epidural at 2:30 and started pushing at 5:30. I gave birth in a regular room.
Cooper Lane EDD 11/23 Born on 11/5 6 lbs 12 ounces and 18" long
At the advice of my doctors nurse I went to the nearest birthing center(not the hospital i planned on birthing at)on 11/4 for what I thought was just going to be some obervation. After over an hour of my blood pressure being 151/103 the doctor on call decided to induce me.
They started me on misoprostol at 8:30pm to get things going since I was only 1cm and cervix was long. At 9am the next morning after 3 rounds of the misoprostol I had not progressed so the doctor inserted a balloon catheter. After an hour of extreme contractions the balloon fell out and at much to the doctors surprise I was 5cm dilated in 1 hour. 2 hours later I opted for an epidural to take the pain away. After 4 hours of having an epidural I didn't progress any further despite great contractions. Cooper's heart rate was decelerating after contractions so we were being closely monitored. They did an amnio-infusion to put water back inside the sack to help with his cord decompressing. I still hadn't progressed any further an hour later. The doctor decided a c-section was best since we were out of options at that point.
I cried and was terrified but after talking to the anesthesiologist my nerves were calmed. I made it through the c-section better than I expected to mentally. My blood pressure bottomed out and I lost a good amount of blood but I didn't even know that had happened.
Water broke at 3AM, my beautiful baby girl arrived at 1PM. Pushed for 10 mins. I must say that she did the most work out if the 3 of us! I am in love with her and her strength.
Paisley Olivia EDD: Nov 8 Born: Nov 4 Paisley weighed in at 8 lbs 1 oz, 19.5 inches. What a beautiful experience we get to have as mamas! Congrats to everyone! We got this!
I was induced... went in at 6am. They started potocin ..Doc broke my water at 8, was 2 cm dilated When I went in. Asked for epidural at 12:00 pm. By 3:20 It was time pushing time. Pushed 3 times and out he came. He has has the most hair out of all his siblings. He is very well Loved by his 2 sisters and 1 brother. He is perfect!
My water broke on Halloween at home was really scary because I was bleeding so much with my water and I didn't know what was going on. I was in labour 18 long hours, but so well worth it! She is perfect in every way!!!
Maddox James has arrived! EDD: November 17th Birthday: November 7th Is 6 pounds 7 ounces and 18.5 inches
After having what felt like the world's easiest pregnancy I had a somewhat difficult time getting baby out. I started to have contractions November 6th around 2:30 AM. I called my on call triage nurse and she told me to go ahead and head into the hospital around 5 AM. We were only there for a few hours then they sent me home with some pain and sleeping medicine since my contractions weren't helping me to dilate. Around 5 AM on November 7th my contractions were so severe I could not just stay home any longer. We were sent to triage and then finally admitted around 9 AM. Let me just say.. The epidural was amazing! Around 9:30 PM after about an hour of pushing he was out! It wasn't so smooth though. They had to use a vacuum because his heart was declining and we had to get him out quick. He was face up and had the cord around his neck. Then they realized he was having difficulty breathing due to meconium swallow. He was sent to NICU for a chest X-ray where they saw he had a tear in his lung. He is doing so much better now but I haven't been able to see him enough to get a good picture of him. Hopefully in a few hours! I'm so in love with him!
I started getting regular contractions about 9pm on 11/6. Got to L&D about 12:30. I was in a lot of pain and dilated at 5cm, asked for Epi, but the anethethologist was in an emergency. So it took til 4:30am when I was at 7. I was dilated to 10 by 7am but babies head was not low enough. Didn't start pushing til 3:30pm. It took 2 hours and 15 minutes to get him out because he was sunny side up and not small, but still perfect!

Water broke at 9:40 on 11/3 after having cramping about every 45 minutes for a couple of hours. 3.5 cm dilated when triage at the hospital. Made it to 9 cm before requesting the epidural. Once fully dilated, about an hour of pushing and out baby boy was here.

Isabella Rose Edd 11/12 Born 11/4 6 lbs 8 oz 19 inches 3:11 pm
I started having timeable contractions around 6pm on the 3rd that progressively grew more intense throughout the evening. Around 9am we made the call to head to the dr and have a cervical check. From there I was admitted to l&d and was dilated to a 4. I labored for another hour 2 hours and had dilated to a 6 when doc asked if I wanted her to break my water. I said yes and in an hour I was at a 10! I pushed for an hour and little Izzie came into this world. I have 2 small tears inside but nothing a little ibuprofen can't handle. I was able to stick to my plan of an unmedicated natural birth. I owe so much credit to my husband and mother who helped me push through the pain. I couldn't have done it without them. Izzie is so beautiful and we are over the moon excited to have our healthy little girl home.
It's a....boy! So shocked, I had convinced myself it was a girl! We were team green.
Water broke the night before my scheduled repeat C section, so I successfully VBAC'ed! So excited. No pitocin, just an epidural. From water breaking to baby was only 13 hours, and I only have a small abrasion, no lacerations. I feel great!
Kailey Aliana EDD 11/5 Born on 11/8 8lbs2ounces 19 inches
I was sent in for an induction on 11/6 at 1am due to supposed macrosemia. After 12 hours on pitocin, I didn't dialate anymore than 1 cm. The doctor tried another induction method which only got me to 4cm several hours later. I had to receive an epidural. My water broke on its own and contractions picked up. I was checked a few hours later and only dilated one more inch. I had the epidural for over 24 hours and had to get another one. I started feeling everything, the epidural didn't help. I was crying.from the pain and finally my.doctor said we would do a c section. 55 hours and a c section later, we were blessed with our beautiful daughter. Recovery is difficult but completely worth it. Good luck and congrats to all you other mommys!
Sam Alexander EDD: November 3 Birthday: November 9 7:58am 8lbs 4oz. 20.5" long
So ended up with the stomach flu and puking all night which jump started my contractions. I thought that they were just cause I was dehydrated and from getting sick, but around 5 in the morning they were too strong for me to handle anymore. Called my mom to come stay with the munchkins. The hospital we were supposed to deliver at is about an hour away. The town we live in does have a hospital but I had decided not to deliver there. Well change of plans, I couldn't handle the hour drive with contractions so we came here. It's a good thing we did cause I was already 8cm dialated! I was not going to have an unmedicated birth I planned on getting an epidural. Well change of plans again! I was to far along so it was a successful unmedicated VBAC. Like I always said you can't plan everything! Just happy to finally meet him. And I know his brothers will be over the moon with him.

Charlie has arrived! Due Nov 3 Born vis CSection Nov 10th 6 pounds 12 ounces
Literally the most surreal an amazing day of my life! Went in last night to get induced as I was one week late and also had a fall yesterday afternoon. After some monitoring and the heart rate dropping they decided that it would be best to just get baby out at this point.from the time they gave me oxytocin to baby's arrival was only four hours in total. I was in hard labor really quickly, all the stuff were shocked at how fast my contractions picked up and how painful they were right awayconsidering that I am a first-time mom. Even though the baby had been head down for a long time his head was in a funny position and they were worried that he would get stuck in the birth canal. On top of that the cord was wrapped around his neck twice so a C-section it was. Once they give you the drugs I felt completely paralyzed and felt nothing but a little bit of pressure.we are all resting now and he is literally the most gorgeous incredible thing that we have ever seen.
After two weeks of random contractions and 3 sweeps, I went from 5cm to 10 in EIGHT MINUTES. Ten mins later and he was out. Was completely shell shocked, but so happy to have my second vbac and a beautiful healthy boy. No time for pain relief at all. Ouch. Had to be cut as it was so fast so feeling it today but just thankful and looking forward to getting home to my bigger two!
Baby Chavez (He doesn't have a name yet) EDD: 11/17 Born: 11/10 8 pounds 6 oz 20 and a half inches long Born at 12:56 pm
Started induction at 8:30-9pm on 11/9. Got an epidural around 3am ... Doctor came and broke my water at 7am. I was only progressing 1cm an hour until about 11am when I went from a 6 to 9cm. Doctor came in on her lunch break and checked me again and said it was time to push. Doctor cut me a little bit to help his head get out. About 12 pushes and 30 minutes later my perfect little boy was born. He is doing amazing! He latched on within 5 minutes and has been breastfeeding like a champ. We are so in love! Cant wait to post a pic of little man, I'm mobile though and TB is being weird. Good luck ladies!! Everything we go through is so so so worth it.

Don't know how to post pics from phone. She 's tinier than our first and has slept all day. Having some latching issues so using a nipple shield but she's trying. I'm enthralled with her more than I thought I would be. Makes having to lie here being pumped full of magnesium and pitocin all worth it. Bless you N15 ladies and good luck with all the babies still to make an entrance!
Payton Nicole 6lbs 4.8oz 18 in long EDD 11/17 Born 11/10 at 7:56am via RCS.
Made it to the hospital at 5:30am to set up for my RCS. Delivery went great! The OB said even a vaginal birth would have landed in a section due to the cord being wrapped around her neck. She was struggling to breathe correctly but her oxygen levels were looking good, so she spent 8 hours away from me in the nursery being monitored, daddy went to visit her often. The pediatrician thinks she was not as far along as the OB had thought and that her lungs were not fully developed. He also thinks she swallowed some fluid during the procedure leading them to use a suction tube to get what they could out. She is back in the room with daddy and I doing just fine. She does not cry but grunts and squeaks, as long as her breathing is steady she can stay with us. She is hooked up to an IV of fluids and we take it slow with the feedings. Her big sister adores being around her, and we couldn't be happier.
Jack Dillon EDD: Nov 13 Born: Nov 7 8lbs 7oz, 20 3/4"
After 23 hours of labor and 40 minutes of pushing we switched from team green to team blue! Our guy had to spend a couple of days in the NICU to monitor his oxygen but he was able to come home with us. We are so in love with our little man!
I had a membrane sweep 11/2/15 and had been sitting at 1.5 cm and 50% for a month! Contractions woke me up at 12:30 am and were about 7 minutes apart and 45 seconds long by the time I realized what was going on. My water broke at 2:10am as I was laying in bed. My husband and I had time to gather out things before arriving at the hospital by 3:30. I was checked at 4 and was at 4cm. Labored until 8am before I received the epidural. I was checked at 830 and to my surprise I was a 7! The epidural was AMAZING btw.... Was able to relax and rest until j was checked again at 10:30 and was a 10!! I pushed for about 45 minutes before my little guy arrived at 11:11AM
I am beyond thankful for a relatively easy labor and delivery. The first 48 hours in the hospital recovering were arguably the worst thanks to my stitches but they are already getting better!
Platelets were trending down so we scheduled a last minute c-section to try to avoid having to have general anesthesia and it was a success! Such a different experience and even though she is a little early she is doing great and I am unhooked from everything and moving around well. Congrats N15!

After two weeks of random contractions and 3 sweeps, I went from 5cm to 10 in EIGHT MINUTES. Ten mins later and he was out. Was completely shell shocked, but so happy to have my second vbac and a beautiful healthy boy. No time for pain relief at all. Ouch. Had to be cut as it was so fast so feeling it today but just thankful and looking forward to getting home to my bigger two!
Born 11-4 via c-section at 39 weeks. Perfect in every way. Recovery from c-section hasn't been bad at all!

Started induction at 8:30-9pm on 11/9. Got an epidural around 3am ... Doctor came and broke my water at 7am. I was only progressing 1cm an hour until about 11am when I went from a 6 to 9cm. Doctor came in on her lunch break and checked me again and said it was time to push. Doctor cut me a little bit to help his head get out. About 12 pushes and 30 minutes later my perfect little boy was born. He is doing amazing! He latched on within 5 minutes and has been breastfeeding like a champ. We are so in love! Cant wait to post a pic of little man, I'm mobile though and TB is being weird.
Good luck ladies!! Everything we go through is so so so worth it.

Don't know how to post pics from phone. She 's tinier than our first and has slept all day. Having some latching issues so using a nipple shield but she's trying. I'm enthralled with her more than I thought I would be. Makes having to lie here being pumped full of magnesium and pitocin all worth it. Bless you N15 ladies and good luck with all the babies still to make an entrance!

Born 11/10 at 7:56am via RCS.
Made it to the hospital at 5:30am to set up for my RCS. Delivery went great! The OB said even a vaginal birth would have landed in a section due to the cord being wrapped around her neck.
She was struggling to breathe correctly but her oxygen levels were looking good, so she spent 8 hours away from me in the nursery being monitored, daddy went to visit her often. The pediatrician thinks she was not as far along as the OB had thought and that her lungs were not fully developed. He also thinks she swallowed some fluid during the procedure leading them to use a suction tube to get what they could out.
She is back in the room with daddy and I doing just fine. She does not cry but grunts and squeaks, as long as her breathing is steady she can stay with us. She is hooked up to an IV of fluids and we take it slow with the feedings.
Her big sister adores being around her, and we couldn't be happier.

After 23 hours of labor and 40 minutes of pushing we switched from team green to team blue! Our guy had to spend a couple of days in the NICU to monitor his oxygen but he was able to come home with us. We are so in love with our little man!

I had a membrane sweep 11/2/15 and had been sitting at 1.5 cm and 50% for a month! Contractions woke me up at 12:30 am and were about 7 minutes apart and 45 seconds long by the time I realized what was going on. My water broke at 2:10am as I was laying in bed. My husband and I had time to gather out things before arriving at the hospital by 3:30. I was checked at 4 and was at 4cm. Labored until 8am before I received the epidural. I was checked at 830 and to my surprise I was a 7! The epidural was AMAZING btw.... Was able to relax and rest until j was checked again at 10:30 and was a 10!! I pushed for about 45 minutes before my little guy arrived at 11:11AM
I am beyond thankful for a relatively easy labor and delivery. The first 48 hours in the hospital recovering were arguably the worst thanks to my stitches but they are already getting better!

Platelets were trending down so we scheduled a last minute c-section to try to avoid having to have general anesthesia and it was a success! Such a different experience and even though she is a little early she is doing great and I am unhooked from everything and moving around well. Congrats N15!
