At long last!

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Avery Jadin was born today at 1:50 pm, after a very difficult labor. When I hit transition I actually begged my MW to take me to the hospital for a c/s. He was born about 90 minutes later (at home).

We're all doing well - although I think I'm going to be a bit hoarse for a few days... I burned out my vocal cords during pushing.

Thank you all for the wonderfully supportive wishes during our long labor. They were much appreciated. I'll try to get back on to post a full story sometime later... for now I'm ordering take-out and crawling back into bed with my guys.

ETA - just realized I forgot stats...

8 pounds exactly, 21 inches long, and a 15 inch head.

Congrats! I've worked in birth for a while, and most ladies ask/demand to go to the hospital for an epi or c/sec in transition, so just know that you are completely normal there It passes obviously LOL
