Guest guest Posted November 23, 2003 Report Share Posted November 23, 2003 Thanks , Here is my long-winded birth story. My due date was December 3rd, but I had a feeling I would go a little early, as I did with my last baby. Then, in the last couple days, I was pretty sure I would have her within the week. But, on Thursday, my daughter came home from school with a 102 degree fever, and sore throat. Then I started hoping that I wouldn't go into labor. I wanted the kids to be able to come see the baby born. Those plans had to be changed, since I went into labor that very same night at about 10pm. I put my kids to bed, my husband went to bed, and I decided to sit down and watch an episode of Survivor that I had taped. I watched the show, then got ready for bed about 10pm, and about as soon as my head hit the pillow, I felt a contraction. I had been having lots of Braxton-Hicks contractions all along, but these were different. The were coming every 3-4 minutes right away. I tried to go to sleep anyway, figuring I had hours of labor ahead of me. Of course I couldn't sleep, so after an hour or so, I got up and packed my bag for the hospital, and wandered around the house doing little chores. I was thinking and thinking about what to do next. To backtrack to my third baby, here is how he arrived. I was in labor all day long, but not in a lot of pain, so I didn't realize it was really labor. I stayed at home until the pain became intense, then decided to head to the hospital. To my surprise, I was already at 10cm, and my son was born about 10 minutes after arriving at the hospital. My two older kids were there to witness the birth because there was no time to get anyone to take them home. They were so thrilled to see their brother born, and I was pretty thrilled to have labored and delivered " all natural " . So, I was thinking about all these things when I went into labor this past Thursday night. With my daughter sick, the kids were not going to be able to come see the birth. That also kind of meant that I couldn't wait till the last minute to go to the hospital, since I would have to make arrangements for someone to come over and watch the kids. Plus, it was the middle of the night by that time, and not the easiest time to line up a babysitter. So, I decided to change plans. After I had been laboring about 4 hours at home, I woke my husband up and had him take me to the hospital. I checked in around 2am, was told I was at 4cm, and my husband went back home to arrange for my Mom to come watch the kids. While my husband was gone, I decided to get an epidural. I didn't have one with my 3rd baby, but the circumstances this time were quite different, and I felt like I needed the epidural, so I went ahead and got it. I labored the rest of the night comfortably thanks to the epidural, although I didn't get a wink of rest. At the last minute, (around 7am) when I went from 7-10 cm very quickly, the pain started to come through again. I was yelling for about 5 minutes before I figured out I could push, then it didn't hurt so much. Three pushes (one contraction) later and was born. I was amazed how fast she came out. I was hoping to avoid an episiotomy, which I did, but I tore a little and needed 3 stitches. The doctor said I wouldn't have torn at all except that the baby came out with her hand next to her head. She also came out with quite a bit of meconium in the water, so they took her immediately to the warming table and listened to her breathing and such to make sure she didn't aspirate any. She was fine, and they handed her to me a few minutes later. The afterbirth came out easily, and the doc stitched me up in about 2 minutes. I tried breastfeeding her, and she latched right on like a pro. Before my WLS, I had two babies (when I was about 250 lb). My first was 8 lb 8 oz, and my second was 9 lb. After WLS, my son was 7 lb 5 oz, and was 7 lb 6 oz. So, the post-WLS ones have definitely been smaller, but very much in the normal range. I think my first two probably would have been smaller too if I hadn't been obese during my pregnancies. Hope this answers your questions. I'll check back here again later. (Ha, ha, maybe much later if this baby decides to be awake in the middle of the night as she has been doing so far!) Lynn > OH LYNN!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
