Hello all! We had a baby boy on October 10th, 2015 at 21:19. His name is L U C A F I N N. It was a long, traumatic birth, but all worked out in the end. At 41 weeks my waters broke at 5:00. I had regular contractions and went to hospital at 10:00. I was ready to push at 17:00 (no pain meds), but ended up pushing for over 3 hrs. He was a big baby for me at 8lbs, 1oz. I am a petite person. He ended up presenting with shoulder dystocia. With all of these factors I ended up with severe Post Partem Hemorrhaging. I went into shock twice due to blood loss. With uterine compression, meds, and a blood transfusion, I had a good outcome. My husband is an anesthesiologist, so I only understand everything because he knew what was going on. This is not an uncommon obstetric emergency, but at the same time, it was not easy to deal with. My anemia is getting better each day and baby is doing fantastic at the breast. His older siblings are in love with him and no jealously at all.
I continue to look for updates from everyone. The support in this forum was a huge help to me and I hope you all get your rainbow babies!
