Re: April 2016 Birth Announcements
Isabelle Elyse was born at 39 weeks, 3 days on April 2nd at 1:09am. She weighed 7lbs 13oz and was 20.5" long.
On March 30th at my 39 week doctor's appt, Isabelle was completely transverse. With my due date less than a week away, my doctor decided to schedule an ECV and induction for the following day. We arrived at the hospital Friday morning for the ECV with a specialist, and all she had to do was take a look via ultrasound to see that Isabelle had already flipped herself head down! I was so happy to have avoided the ECV, but next up was the induction. I was given cytotec and a Foley bulb to help me dilate, which took about four hours. I was having contractions but nothing painful. After the Foley bulb came out, they started pitocin. Even with the pitocin, I wasn't contracting very hard. Finally, they decided to break my water and that was the beginning of the end. Turned out that I had some condition where I had too much fluid, which was keeping my uterus from contracting properly (there was so much fluid that the nurse had to use suction to clean up the bed). At this point, contractions came on fast and furious and I was only dilated to 7cm. I asked for an epidural, which ultimately never worked properly. By the time it was in place and they laid me down, I felt like I needed to push! The nurses were trying to hold me off until my doctor got there, but my body did it's own thing and started pushing. I felt everything, even with the epidural! After 20 minutes of pushing, Isabelle came out with the cord wrapped around her neck twice. Thankfully my doctor was able to quickly remove it and she began screaming right away! For being my fourth child, this labor and delivery was the most intense and has solidified my decision to not have any more babies!
Isabelle is doing great and breastfeeding like an expert! We are so in love with our baby girl!
We left the hospital 5 hours after he was born and have been spending the last day falling in love with Cameron Jack Davis Donnelly (7lbs 11oz).
Babies are AWESOME!!!!
Makenzie Rose Pell was born at 11:16 pm on 4/4/16 at 7lbs 1 oz and 19.5 in. She is definitely a daddy's girl. She came into the world much quicker than our OB expected after inducing me at 1:30pm on Monday. Mommy, daddy and baby are healthy and hopefully we will be leaving the hospital her in the next hour
They admitted me at 10 pm , started pitocin at 10:30 .
I was 2cm 100% at that point.
I got the epidural at 6cm 100% at 2am.
By 4:15 I was 1 cm and began to push and she was born at 5:01,
This little lady tore the crap out my Vag. Dr had to stitch me 3 times . All internal and 100% sucky as hell right now.
She's pretty cool and were working on breastfeeding. So far so good. It's not easy.
My advice: Get the epidural as soon as u think you might want it. From the time I asked for it till the time I got it was over an hr. It was a long hour....

Eizabeth Morgan born 4/6/16 @ 5:48 PM. Mom and baby are both doing well. She is breastfeeding like a champ!
After still not progressing we finally decided to do a csection. Turns out baby was sunny side up and had the cord around her neck so even if I had tried pushing for a couple hours I still probably would have needed the section, but at least baby was still toleraring everything well when we did finally get to meet her.
She's so adorable and has the chubbiest cheeks! At 8lb 1oz she's actually a bit smaller than i had suspected. She isn't too interested in breastfeeding yet, but hopefully we'll get there soon.
"Love Its" are welcome and appreciated on this thread, but please refrain from commenting with anything other than your baby's details.
Dad can't put her down so I'm taking advantage of every opportunity I get to hold her! I finally understand what possesses people to have more than one child...I know I hated being pregnant but I forget why. Being a mom is already so much better than I had even hoped.
Baby Hallie has arrived!. I was induced at 39+2 for GD, and she was breech. It turns out she flipped herself head down the night before to avoid the 2nd ECV for this pregnancy. After 10 hours of pitocin and no other interventions, baby #2 came out with 1.5 pushes and no tearing! 6 lbs 15 oz 20.5 inches- exactly the same as her big sister! We are so in love!
I took 4 doses of cytotek to ripen my cervix and then they started me on pitocin. After about 4 or 5 hours, I was beyween 3 and 4 cm dilated and couldn't take the pain anymore so I went for the epidural. So glad I did, because the difference in pain was just heavenly. After about 6 hours of not progressing past 4cm, my cervix and babies head started to swell so we went for the c section. From there, the delivery went smooth and we got to meet our precious baby girl who we absolutely love
In the hospital for one more day. Definitely must say breastfeeding hasn't been easy...our baby loves to sleep and she's having trouble sucking. Still tryin to hang in there for her tho
And that my friends shows how much things don't go to plan, but you just have to roll with them and it's all worth it!
