Great scan ladies.

Last I heard Lisa was ready to push (3pm) so baby boy should be here.

I'm getting tightenings again, yay!

Good news its Definitely a GIRL in there. We had an in depth growth scan today that lasted 1h1/2. Lo is measuring 2 weeks ahead and is really low. I was told I was 100% effaced last week and during scan to see head they were trying to look through my pelvic bone which hurt like hell. Everything looks good and was told I can do anything I want to start labor.
They are guessing baby is 7 pounds but couldnt get a full view of head (bc so low) and say they would add a 1/2 pound or so

Great scans ladies

MissFox so awesome dad got to feed Rosie for the first time

Im ready to have this baby what should I do minus nipple stimulation (boobies are sore )

SweetMama thanx for thinking of me

jna- rub the webbing between your thumb and forefinger. could also look up on google more acupressure spots to rub and start contractions. worked a couple times for me.

 

[JNA]

Blessed you need to post more pics of Nathon! I dont want to be creepy but I look seeing baby pics

Was at 6 cm -2 station and 90% effaced when we checked into the hospital yesterday at 7:30pm. By 6:30 am I was 7 cm -1 station and 100% effaced. They talked me into pitocin which made my contractions harder and faster as they turned it up. I just couldn't take it anymore and when they told me I hadn't made any progress despite being in tears , shaking, and throwing up through contractions ... I had to give in and get some pain relief. After napping through contractions for 30 mins I still hadn't made any progress and had to get an epidural. That got me some sleep and by 2:30pm I was 100% effaced, 0 station and fully dilated. I started pushing at 3 pm
Baby was born at 4:04pm. He is 9lbs 15ozs and 22 inches long. No name yet. He is in the NICU because he had a partially collapsed lung. He is doing great and pinked up nicely so he hasn't needed treatment at all but his ex-rays don't show improvement yet so they are keeping him there for now. . I've started pumping to get my supply going etc... He's amazing though. So gorgeous.

I had one long 1st degree tear.

 

[MissFox]

Congrats Lisa! Hope his lung gets fixed! And hope you have a speedy recovery!!

JNA- mostly update from my phone since we don't have internet except when at my moms but ill try to post more as soon as I am on a computer

Blessed- so happy to hear things are going well!

 

[JNA]

Yes, just don't give up. It's not always naturally easy for everyone. I had a very difficult time and no support or anyone to ask questions of my first time. I had no idea it would be so difficult so I quit. The 2nd time I read everything I could get my hands on. Now there are also youtube videos that are very helpful to watch. Keep experienced friends on hand to ask questions of and definitely ask to speak with the lactation consultant at the hospital while you're there. They will check to see if baby's latch is good and give you advice. Good luck. I can't wait to nurse my baby.

Oh, and thank goodness you still have a girl in there. Silly u/s people. I bet you're relieved.

Oh, Lisa, congratulations my friend. I bet he's perfect! You win though.... my first was only 9 pounds 4 ounces (never thought I'd say only, lol). Rest up. One tear for such a large baby is not too bad. I can't wait to see pictures.

They're beautiful southerngal

 

[Sweet_Mama]

Cute kids everyone. I'll try to post some later.

So, last night I tried walking Walmart for about 90 minutes, came home and did some nipple stuff, then attacked DH in bed... and nothing. Whatever, lol. I wish I had not gone into L&D and just went in to work because now DH doesn't want me going back to work for fear I'll go into labor there (which is an hour from the hospital). Sigh... guess I'll just have to wait the normal amount of time like everyone else.

Congrats Lisa! Wow, thats a big baby.
