Finally, Birth Story of Our First Boy! « Back to Group Discussions

[Jennbee]

I haven't had internet at home for a few months, only mobile...so now we do have internet and I can post the birth announcement of Crosby C. W., born September 6, 2011 at 6:15 am. He was born at 41 weeks and 3 days by c-section.

Wow, what a long and difficult journey you have been on! You are so dedicated to your son to stick with breastfeeding after so many hurdles. Thanks for sharing your story.  What's your son's name and do you have any pics?

Btw, I think you  might win Biggest Baby for our DDC. I had a 10.0 boy and I think a few others had boys in the 10 lb range too, but your 10lb 10oz DS might win!

His name is Crosby (middle initials C.W.).

I'm not sure if this was in the OR or recovery room.

And this is baby at 18 days old. His head doesn't look that fat anymore.

what a cutie!

I am sorry to hear the journey leading to him was difficult and scary - you are one tough mama to get through all that and stick with nursing him. Though, sounds like you make all the right decisions to get him safely here.

I hope you are enjoying every minute of your little miracle!

Oh he is cute!  My babies are huge so I am drawn to plump babies.

What a birth story!  What I couldn't believe is that you left the hospital after the c-section and then went back in twice to the doctors, travelling 1.5 hours each way.  That is a lot of travelling for just having surgery.  They totally should have sent someone to you.

Thanks for the replies ladies. Joyfilled, yeah, it would have been nice to have the option to go to a closer hospital that's only 35 minutes away. I avoided the closer hospital because the doctors wouldn't do a VBA2C, but the doctor that was further away would.
