My baby is here!  

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
And she's a GIRL! I had her at 5:27 yesterday afternoon after what seems in retrospect like a quick and easy labor, though it definitely had its painful and difficult moments...er, hours. She shot out of me butt first, her entire body and head in just one push. Amazing! We are still in the hospital but we'll be going home pretty soon. The only complication was I tore pretty badly because of how hard I had to push to get her out so fast. I'm SO glad I didn't have to have a C-section though. I was in labor for 15 hours and she only weighs 6 pounds despite the enormous quantities of chocolate ice cream I ate while she was inside me.

I will update more later but I just wanted to let you all know!

Congratulations Julia! A breech vaginal birth in a hospital, how awesome that you accomplished that! I hope you heal quickly.

Shameless lurker from March...

...did they know your babe was breech? Was it a planned breech vaginal birth? I think that's awesome, but I know that here they won't "let" you deliver breech vaginally, and I saw a Baby Story where a mom delivered breech vaginally (in CO?) but she didn't even push, they just PULLED the baby out of her feet first.

Anyway, been curious about it ever since. Congratulations on your daughter!!!

Congratulations! I want to hear your birth story, esp. about being breech. Did you think she was a boy?
