Savannah Noel Edd 11/05 Born 11/02 7 lb 8 oz, 20 1/2 incheS Labor started at around midnight but I was in denial it was the real thing. Felt like I peed my pants but figured it was my water breaking so I woke up dh. Went to the hospital around 430 am and was 5 cm dilated with contractions 9 minutes apart. I got an epidural around 8, which was absolutely amazing. After 30 minutes of pushing lil miss Savannah was born☺️. Overall my labor/delivery was perfect. I pray everyone is as blessed as I was with an easy delivery.
6lbs 7oz Was having contractions since nine last night around six i couldn't take the pain anymore so err were off to the hospital. I begged for pain meds they refuse to give me anything because they had to make sure i was in Labour. I decided to try and sleep. I slept through my contractions and at ten woke up with the sudden urge to push had SO call nurse and 13 mins later she was here. Was not planning on going unmediated but she had other plans.

Big sisters Bekah and Ellie are ecstatic to welcome their new baby sister. This one decided she was super comfy and almost made me have to go to the hospital instead of the birth center I wanted to go to. She was born at 41w6d. 3rd time with Team Green and I was wrong for the first time. I was positive we were having a boy! Lol
Jason Gabriel 2.0 EDD 11-5 Born 11-10 7lbs 15oz, 20in
Man was that hard! Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. But at the end of the day we avoided a c-section and I pushed out my healthy baby boy "unmedicated" like I originally planned to. Pitocin is evil ya'll!! But Meet the new man in my life.
On October 29, 2015 we welcomed our third child, Westley Sagan, into the world via family centered cesarean. He weighed 9lbs, 7oz and was 20.5" long - our biggest baby!
I knew from the beginning his birth was going to be a planned c-section (my third, but first planned). It wasn’t until around 34 weeks that I learned that I had the option for a family centered cesarean. We talked about the procedure at that appointment and how things would go. It was then that my OB told me that for her patients that really mourn the loss of a vaginal birth, she bypasses the nurses cleaning the baby up first and would instead get him out and make a “tunnel” under the drapes to pass him up to me immediately. As soon as she said that I knew thats what I wanted for us, so we made the plans to do just that!
As we got closer to his birth date, I grew more and more excited. The fears of the surgery left as my excitement grew. The morning of, I was incredibly nervous, but as soon as I heard his first cry and heard the words “here he comes” I instantly fell in love as I pulled this sweet baby boy up to my chest to meet him for the first time earth side.
His birth was probably the single most amazing experience of my life and so healing compared to my first two births, which were less than ideal and definitely traumatizing. It was calm and peaceful, I couldn't have asked for a better way to complete our family!
Baby Michael 6 lbs 14 oz, 19 inches Born 11/10 6:52pm
Went in for induction 11/9 at 11:00, 2 cm. midwife broke my water right away. Started pitocin but no progress by midnight, so pitocin turned off and Cytotec given. 8am only 2.5 cm, restarted pitocin which gave me really intense contractions. Finally got epidural at 5cm dilated around 3pm. 6pm baby's heart rate dropped and was whisked into OR for emergency c-section. Scariest hour of my life but he is doing so well and is the sweetest baby. Hang in there ladies, all the pain is worth it when you meet your baby!!

A few days late because I wanted to share a picture, and the app wouldn't let me until today. I had quite the eventful labor and delivery with an unexpected c-section and an additional surgeon needed to complete repairs; however, she was worth every minute.
Thomas Richard EDD: 11/25 Scheduled induction date: 11/4 for high BP Birthday: 11/2 6lb 7oz and 20 inches
Little man decided he didn't want anyone telling him when to make his arrival. All went well aside from an extra day in the hospital and mag after delivery due to my high BP.
Charles Theodore was borm after 2 cirvadil insertions, 2 pitocin gels, a third cirvadil and artificially breaking my waters, we had early phase labour that didn't last. He was born via c-section on 11/11/15. 9lbs, 12ounces, 21 inches long.
Paige Lauren EDD 11/14 Born 11/11 2:33 am 6lb 14oz 20.5in She was in a hurry to get here, 5 hours of labor and about three pushes. No time for the epidural and I had to try to keep from pushing her out until they could get the on call doctor. Our doctor made it when it was all over. Nothing went according to my plan but we are so in love!!
Wesley Alexander Lemon III aka Tre EDD: 11/14/15 BD: 11/10/15 6 lbs. 15oz. & 20.5 in.
Induction scheduled for the evening of Sunday, 11/8. Had foley bulb by 9pm and was 3-4 cm. by Monday, 11/9 when the nurses checked at 7am. Received epidural by 2pm to be on safe side due to previous back issues. By 3:45pm the OB broke my water and by 8:30pm I was 7cm. Things got really intense between 8:30pm and 10:30pm. Partner was an amazing coach throughout. Began pushing by 10:30pm and by 12:50am my little nugget was born. I couldn't be more amazed than I am now. I'm so in love and still in shock that I just went through this experience and excited for more breathtaking experiences with my little, new family.
Little man made his appearance a little early, but healthy so far. Who knows how big he would have been if he made it to term. Already so in love and can't wait to introduce him to big sis.
Dominic Walker EDD 11/21 DOB 11/9 (38WKS +1) 7LBS 5OZ 21INCHES My prince is still in the NICU with respiratory distress issues. My husband and I are back home and it is THE most difficult thing I've ever experienced. However, I know how good God is. They said it'd be at least 2 weeks before any real progress was made. Well in just 48 hours he was taken off the CPAP and O2 assistance of any kind. I was able to breast feed him after he snatched the feeding tube out and they saw he was doing well. It is my prayer that he will be in the hospital no longer than Sunday. Please pray for us and the other families in the NICU.
Induction started 11/10/15 due to high bp, some protein in urine and severe case of PUPPS. I ended up with a c-section. But my miracle baby was worth it. So in love with her
Scheduled csection ended up getting bumped up due to heart rate drops in baby and my high bp. We've both been doing ok but recovery has been a bit rougher this time around! So happy though and big brother and sister are loving our new addition.
Baby Alexei EDD 11/13/15 Born: 11/10/15 8 lbs 5 ounces 21 and a half inches
My water broke at 1:20 am Tuesday the 10th and by the time we got ourselves to the hospital it was 3:15 am, I was 4 cm dialated and contractions were 3-5 minutes apart. After going through a bunch of paperwork while in active labor, I was wheeled to labor & delivery from triage. Took another hour and a half for the anesthesiologist to come around. Epideral was wearing off just around the time I was 9-10 cm and it was time to push! 20 minutes of intense pushing and we were able to meet our new addition!
Eleanor Anne born 11-11-15 6 lbs 14 oz and 19 1/4 inches A month of false labor ended up in a 2 hour extremely intense med free delivery yesterday. Got to the hospital at 9:30 am and was 5 cm dilated. Got stuck there despite intense contractions until 11:15. Midwife broke my water and I went from 5 to 10 in 5 minutes. The baby descended so fast my body immediately started pushing. She was sunny side up and it was excruciating, but she was out and beautiful in 4 pushes by 11:30. Worst pain of my life but I immediately felt euphoric after. She is nursing like it's her job and her 2 older sisters are smitten kittens. Not sure if this pic will post but will try later on my laptop. Oh and this hospital has showers with 3 jets that point right at your crotch. Best.invention.ever.
Delilah Jane (DJ) EDD 11/6 Birthday 11/12 @6:17am 7lbs 13oz. 20 1/4 inches long
Woke up with period like cramps yesterday. Starting getting timetable contractions at 2pm. By 6pm they were painful and coming about 7 minutes apart. I called the dr and he said try to relax and come in when they took my breath away. Took an hour long bath and decided I couldn't wait anymore. Got to the hospital around 8:30. Was only 1cm dilated still. I walked for about an hr then got back in bed. Contractions were weird and coming 5 minutes or 8 minutes apart. Started losing my plug around 11. Contractions continued to get stronger after that. Asked for some pain meds around 3. Got a shot in the butt that helped me relax but didn't do much for the pain at all. Had horrible back labor the entire time. Called the nurse in ready to give in and get the epidural because the pain was unbearable. She check and I was 9cm and had the urge to push immediately. Water broke at 5:45am and started pushing at 6am. After 3 pushes the nurse told me to stop because one more push and the baby was here and the dr wasn't even in the room yet! One more big push and she was here. I can not believe what our bodies are capable of. Birthing our babies no matter how we do it is amazing mamas. Delilah is doing great and is nursing like a champ. Big brother and dad are in love. Good luck to all the remaining Nov15 moms!
Eleanor Margaret EDD 11-22 Birthday 11-12 @10:25 6lbs 8ozs. 20 inches long Induced due to low amniotic fluid.
Had to be at the hospital 5am, started pitocin at 8am contractions picked up, got the epidural at 920, then they broke my water at 945. I was chatting with my family, feeling nothig, when the nurse came in to check said it was time to push. I lifted my legs and she just sort of slid out. I didn't have to push, or anything. ended up with one internal stitch and she is amazing! I can't believe what an easy labor experience it was. Two of her three big brothers have been to see her and are in love. I am waiting to show my 21 month old her when we get home. Good luck to all the other nov 15 mamas waiting for their little ones.
Aria Nahlani 5 pounds 6 oz 19 inches EDD 11/8 Born 11/11/15 3:40 am
Water broke at home on 11/10 at 9:30. I was only 1 centimeter. 15 hours of labor, 5 attempts at epidural (he kept hitting a nerve!) 3 hours of pushing and my princess was finally here!!! I would do it all over again!
I had a repeat c section scheduled at 4 pm but Wesley was an early riser! I woke up to contractions at 3:30 am. By the time we got to the hospital I was 6 cm dialate and by the time they finally started my epidural I was 9 cm. The doctor was afraid the baby might drop so I had to get my epidural laying down. A few minutes later he was born via c section! It was a really rough morning but all worth it!

I was in prodromal labor for 4 days. Lots of contractions but no progress as I was at 1cm for weeks.
Sunday night around 4pm the contractions changed. They were much more intense and extremely regular. My doula came by and said this seemed more like early labor than prodromal. She gave me some tips and I labored at home for several hours, including a trip out to Target. Went up to bed at 11:30pm as I was able to sleep for 5min between contractions, and within 20min heard a pop. I immediately knew it was my water breaking. Although my doctors orders are to wait until 830am to call with water break (as long as it's clear), I didn't wait. I knew I needed to go to L&D. Arrived at 12:30am and was 3cm dilated. Yes - this wasn't prodromal anymore!
Contractions progressed rapidly. I was admitted at 2am and was offered morphine to sleep. I turned it down as my doula encouraged me to try the tub first. As soon as I got into the tub things went crazy. It was an out of body experience. The intensity was beyond anything I could have imagined.
The nurse came in around 3am and I said "I want the morphine". My doula knew things were too far along for that based on intensity and encouraged me to get checked by a doctor first. My doctor came in and said I was at a 10, station 3, they could see the head. It was time to push. The doctors and nurses were shocked I went from 3 to 10 in less than 3 hours as a FTM.
Transitioning to that phase of labor was a godsend. The active phase was surreal. Pushing was actually not a big deal. Yes it burned and hurt, but that was nothing compared to the contractions. The fact that I had no meds meant I could feel everything and I was really efficient with my pushing. Had a 1st degree natural tear. Baby was out in 30min and honestly a lot of that was downtime because I was just waiting for those urges to push.
Can't believe how this turned out and how fast she came. Can't believe she is here. We are so happy!!
7 lbs 13 oz 20 inches Induction began 11/12 @ 5 pm. Water broke at 130 AM. Strong contractions began at 6. Epidural placed at 7 and he was here at 840. Big sis is over the moon!
Started contractions at 5 this morning, they were 5-7 minutes apart for about 2 hours, then moved to 1-2 minutes apart for about 2 hours, came to the hospital at 8:55 and was at a 4, got admitted and by the time I got to the labor room i was a 10. Pushed for 5 minutes. No time for epidural if I wanted one anyways. I'm glad I didn't get one! Born at 9:56 am (was at the hospital for an hour.. Wow!) mom & baby are doing well!
Olivia Mae EDD: 11/05 DOB: 11/11 at 4:09 am 8lbs even, 19.5 inches long
Around 9pm-ish on Tuesday, I started feeling a little crampy while SO & I were putting together our new TV stand, but I wrote the cramps off as gas pains. By midnight, though, they were coming 3 minutes apart & I had to breathe through them, so we headed to the hospital. The whole way there I just kept praying that it was the real deal & I wouldn't be sent home. At the hospital I was checked & 6cm dilated! HUGE relief. Things progressed very quickly from there, & contractions became extremely painful & intense. All I could do was pace around the room & tried to focus on breathing through each one. At about 3:45 I was 9cm dilated so we decided to break my water. Five minutes later I was 10cm & pushing, & another 20 minutes later Olivia was born! The OB was awesome & let me pull her out & on to my chest myself, which was an incredible feeling. The contractions & pushing was beyond painful, but it completely melted away the moment she was in my arms. We're so in love!!

Baby is doing great. I'm a bit nauseous from spinal tap. Went in at 6 am, procedure started about 9:15am baby born at 9:52am. He is perfect and looks just like his big brother. He has been sleeping most of day. So in love.
Ezekiel John EDD: 11/14 Born: 11/13 7lbs 4oz, 18.5 inches Born on his uncle's birthday!
45 hours of labor total starting 4:30 on 11/11. 36 hours of back labor with no real progress (got sent home and did everything we could to flip him but he just wouldn't have it). Came back at 2:30 this morning to find I had progressed to 4.5-5 cms and was admitted. Immediately got the epidural (I didn't want it originally but after 36 hours of back labor I couldn't handle any more). Epidural was beautiful and I would probably get it again.
Adalynn Ruth EDD 11/30 Born 11/13 7lbs 5oz Our sweet girl was 3 weeks early due to increased bleeding. I had a repeat c section and so far it's not been to bad. Baby girl is healthy and her big brother couldn't be more proud!
Had my 40 week appointment on the 11th where my doctor then stripped my membranes. Started having contractions at 2:30 AM on the 12th which kept me from sleeping. At about 8:30 AM the contractions slowed down somewhat but were still getting intense and I had lost more of my mucus plug. Finally decided to head to the hospital at 2:00 PM and found out I was already dilated to a 7! By the time I got to 9cm I caved in and got an epidural. We waited for him to turn slightly because he was still facing up, but eventually he turned himself and the doctor came in and broke my water. I started pushing around 10PM and by 11:04 PM he was here!
Andrew Jax Born: 11-13-15 (My Friday the 13th baby) EDD: 11-26-15 6lbs 11oz 20in
My water had been leaking since 2am without me realizing. Went to work. Finally left work and got to hospital around 2:30pm. Because I was gbs+ they had to start my antibiotics and give me pitocin. After I was 7cm dilated I got the epidural which didn't really help with my contractions. But when it came time to push I couldn't feel my legs! So I pushed for 5 minutes and he was here at 9:02pm. He is amazing can't wait for big brother to get here later so he can meet him.
Luca Michael Edd-11/20 planned csection- 11/13 Dob-11/12 The night before my section was planned I started with pressure which lead to contractions 2-4 minutes apart it all happen so quickly that they became even closer we were off to the hospital, got there and admitted at 4cm ..

Transitioning to that phase of labor was a godsend. The active phase was surreal. Pushing was actually not a big deal. Yes it burned and hurt, but that was nothing compared to the contractions. The fact that I had no meds meant I could feel everything and I was really efficient with my pushing. Had a 1st degree natural tear. Baby was out in 30min and honestly a lot of that was downtime because I was just waiting for those urges to push.
Can't believe how this turned out and how fast she came. Can't believe she is here. We are so happy!!

Started contractions at 5 this morning, they were 5-7 minutes apart for about 2 hours, then moved to 1-2 minutes apart for about 2 hours, came to the hospital at 8:55 and was at a 4, got admitted and by the time I got to the labor room i was a 10. Pushed for 5 minutes. No time for epidural if I wanted one anyways. I'm glad I didn't get one! Born at 9:56 am (was at the hospital for an hour.. Wow!) mom & baby are doing well!

Around 9pm-ish on Tuesday, I started feeling a little crampy while SO & I were putting together our new TV stand, but I wrote the cramps off as gas pains. By midnight, though, they were coming 3 minutes apart & I had to breathe through them, so we headed to the hospital. The whole way there I just kept praying that it was the real deal & I wouldn't be sent home. At the hospital I was checked & 6cm dilated! HUGE relief. Things progressed very quickly from there, & contractions became extremely painful & intense. All I could do was pace around the room & tried to focus on breathing through each one. At about 3:45 I was 9cm dilated so we decided to break my water. Five minutes later I was 10cm & pushing, & another 20 minutes later Olivia was born! The OB was awesome & let me pull her out & on to my chest myself, which was an incredible feeling. The contractions & pushing was beyond painful, but it completely melted away the moment she was in my arms. We're so in love!!

Born on his uncle's birthday!
45 hours of labor total starting 4:30 on 11/11. 36 hours of back labor with no real progress (got sent home and did everything we could to flip him but he just wouldn't have it). Came back at 2:30 this morning to find I had progressed to 4.5-5 cms and was admitted. Immediately got the epidural (I didn't want it originally but after 36 hours of back labor I couldn't handle any more). Epidural was beautiful and I would probably get it again.
We're doing great and over the moon in love!!

Our sweet girl was 3 weeks early due to increased bleeding. I had a repeat c section and so far it's not been to bad. Baby girl is healthy and her big brother couldn't be more proud!

Had my 40 week appointment on the 11th where my doctor then stripped my membranes. Started having contractions at 2:30 AM on the 12th which kept me from sleeping. At about 8:30 AM the contractions slowed down somewhat but were still getting intense and I had lost more of my mucus plug. Finally decided to head to the hospital at 2:00 PM and found out I was already dilated to a 7! By the time I got to 9cm I caved in and got an epidural. We waited for him to turn slightly because he was still facing up, but eventually he turned himself and the doctor came in and broke my water. I started pushing around 10PM and by 11:04 PM he was here!

My water had been leaking since 2am without me realizing. Went to work. Finally left work and got to hospital around 2:30pm. Because I was gbs+ they had to start my antibiotics and give me pitocin. After I was 7cm dilated I got the epidural which didn't really help with my contractions. But when it came time to push I couldn't feel my legs! So I pushed for 5 minutes and he was here at 9:02pm. He is amazing can't wait for big brother to get here later so he can meet him.
