Re: To Hannah's mom - Annie

Hi,

This thread has interested me, because I suffered from tremendous

sciatica for two straight months at the end of my pregancy with

Remy. I even had to go out on short term disability from work. One

time I had a sciatic nerve attack trying to get from the bed to the

dresser when my husband was running an errand; I was frozen in pain

midstep, where my husband found me crying my eyes out 20 minutes

later.

Remy was born flattish across the whole back of her head, at the

base of her head. Of course later on, Remy developed back-right

plagio. I had a scheduled c-section because they thought there was

no way she would fit through my pelvis (I was told that scheduled c

sections were very unusual for first time preganancy, without even

trying to labor.) Remy's skull shape did look weird, and my mom

commented on it after she was born. She weighed 9 lbs 8 oz.
