Guest guest Posted September 16, 2003 Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Hi, Ladies! It's been a while since I've posted, but I thought I'd chime in and let you know that my husband and I had our baby girl on September 4th! was 6lbs 5oz and 18.5 inches. She had a distressful beginning and spent her first few days in special care due to both my odd shaped uterus and the fact that the cord was wrapped around her neck. My cerclage was removed one week earlier and I was dilated 4cm when my water broke. I was given pitocin to stimulate contractions, which never became too terrible or regular. However, as the contractions did get stronger, 's heartbeat decelerated. At that point, my doctor made the decision for me to have a c-section. When was born, she was a 1 on the apgar scale, but within 5 minutes she improved to an 8 on the scale. Nonetheless, she had a high white blood cell count which caused her to stay in NICU for a while. At this point in time, however, she's doing wonderfully! Also, as it turns out, my uterus is not bicornuate or didelphus as my doctor thought. I have a septate uterus, and, from what I understand, the doctor, snipped away some of the septum during the c-section. I will find out more details during my follow-up appointment. Anyway, that's the latest for me. I wish all of you well on your baby journeys...
