Our baby girl was born on January 23rd
Contractions started Saturday (21st) and then went way, then were very regular on Sunday and completely stopped. Monday morning they were very consistent, 8 minutes apart and I called to warn the hospital I was coming and just wanted to get checked out. They put the NST on me and monitored my contractions for an hour and they were easy and now about 4 minutes or so Part but I didn't know for sure because every second contraction was very faint. Everyone thought I was getting sent home. The doc came in at noon and checked how far along I was and I was 5cm and i shocked everyone!! He broke my water and then it was real for us...DH went to the vehicle and got our bags and then the REAL hard contractions came, bad back labour by 3pm...I asked for drugs so they checked me and I was 8-9cm dilated they say it was pretty much too late because I progressed so fast. 3 hours later of the grossest pain ever my body started doing the pushing and they got the doc in there and I pushed for 3 contractions and out came................... a baby girl!!! Lon.dyn Lane 7lbs 9.6oz, 20.5 inches long.
The doctor apologized about them saying no to drugs but in the end I am happy we didn't get them!! But if we are blessed with a next time....epidural it is.
She has been gaining weight like crazy so breast feeding is going well..super chubby cheeks at not quite 6 weeks already.
I always have the thought of infertility at the back of my head...will it just happen for us naturally? Will our final freezer baby take? All the what ifs are still there and it sucks!!
Only time will tell I guess.
