Baby Xander

post #1 of 12
Thread Starter 
Baby came this morning at 8:00am via an unexpected breech delivery after 10 hours of intense and almost unbearable labor. Xander Josiah, 8lb 4oz. I am so in love and feeling great other than all of the bleeding. I am still on my birth high! Thanks for all of your thoughts and prayers. Even though it was amazingly scary, everything worked out exactly as it was suppose to and we are so grateful!!! We were 42w2d...I was technically due Oct. 21st but ended up with a beautiful November baby on the first morning of frost for the season!!!!

Congrats, that's awesome! Was he frank breech? I ended up having an unexpected footling but had to have a c-section.

NO he was a complete breech. If we weren't at home, we would have had to have a c-section too. Even if we would have transported, we wouldn't have made it. I had him 10 mins after my water broke and it takes 20 mins to get to the nearest hospital!
