Had my little man yesterday. I was due sept 12 but apparently drs were saying sept 17th. I was scheduled for a csection sept 10th. Friday aug 15 we decided tk go visit my ohs parents who live an hour and a half away for the weekend sjnce we didn't have my other 2 kids and we knew we would not see them again till the ecs. So we got there about 9 am and j had slight cramping then I started losing bitsof my mucus plug. So at 130 am aug 16 they were contractions every 7 mins. So we went to hospital and I was 1 cm dilated. Not good since I was to have a section. Tgey moniter the contractions and they were getting more painful so they checked again and i was 3 cm dilated so they said j had to have a csetion. Soon j was prepped and ready to go.
Dominic christian alexander was born aug 16th at 651am. His gestation was 35 weeks 3 days. He was 18.5 in long and weighed 4lbs 12.8 oz. He was sent to nicu. He was doing well so after 12 hours they moved him from under the heat lamp to a.little bassinett. The big thing though is nursing. I got to nurse him the first time at 100pm aug 16. He nursed very well about 10 minutes per side. When I tried nursing at 8 pm he wouldnt do it. Same with thr 12am feed we did and the 8am feed and 12pm feed. I feel like a horrible mom. I just wish he would eat. The sooner he eats the sooner we can go home as that is the only concern thankfully. I.managed to get him to feed at 4pm this afternoon. The key may be I need to wake him fully first. The problem is he isnt fweling hungry as he has a constant sugar water iv drip. Pumping is not going well either. Hw isnt jaundice, his sugars are good and so are all blood work and vitals.
