Overdue and induced

[Guest guest]

Hi Marcia.

I was 14 days overdue, induced and he was pulled out with tongs.

Anyone else?

somehow. I know, I know... she's still the same, beautiful, wondrous

baby girl I've always had and it's just an adjustment in thinking...

I just haven't adjusted fully yet. It's so heartbreaking, especially

if I entertain ANY thoughts that she wasn't born this way. She was

nine days overdue, I was almost forty at the time, and they induced.

Her heart rate dropped just before delivery. I hope there wasn't some

sort of oxygen deprivation going on.
