oaklvr- our babies were born on the same day!
I ended up not having to be induced but only one thing on my birth plan actually happened the way I wanted. I ended up eventually having an emergency c-section (but I labored naturally for almost 24 hours, most of which was at home, which was great) and they had to use general anesthesia (not trying to scare anyone, but it was a very traumatic experience) so OH wasn't there to see it, cut the cord, etc. and I didn't even get to see my baby until hours after she (I had a girl!!!) was born.
There was a horrible nurse there when I first woke up. I was still groggy, no glasses on so I couldn't see and since they had intubated me I could barely talk but I asked the first person I saw "Is my baby ok????" and she just looked at me and said "Well, they haven't told me other wise." and walked off!
Luckily baby and I are doing fine and other than that first nurse, everyone else was very nice to me. I later found out she was upset because since it was the middle of the night and unplanned they had to call all the doctors and nurses to come in because it was an emergency. I was like like "Sorry to put you out! I decided to have an emergency c-section at 4 a.m. just to bother everybody!"
Hopefully you all have had or will have much better experiences, but as I type this I am holding one of the best things in the entire world, my daughter! Everything was completely worth it and despite the horrible birth experience, she still breastfeeds like a champ is completely healthy.
oh, almost forgot! Joemy Blue was born on June 13th 4:22 a.m. weighing 8 lbs 10.25 oz and was 20.5 inches long. My yellow bump turned pink! We are all in love already.
Hopefully I will see everyone in baby clubs soon!
