Hi Everyone! I had our second baby on October 10th...he came 2 weeks "early" at 38 weeks, and good thing since he was 9# 4 oz! Couldn't believe it, although I was huge! 21 inches.... Jordan Michael
I was worried since the u/s had him as weighing 8#11oz... off they were! I'm so glad I didn't "schedule" a C-section....thanks to all the votes of confidence I had on MDC!
Vag delivery, but it wasn't bad. Had my OB appt on Tues the 9th....I was 3 cm along already. I walked alot that day, ate pineapple, drank red raspberry tea, used EPO for a week both orally and vag starting at 37 weeks, and starting having contractions that were regular around 5ish.... was psyched!
My worry was my 2 year old since we don't have family in the area to help. I had a good friend come over from work, and we put Hannah to bed and Michael and I went to the hospital at 9:00 that night. I was contracting and 4cm. Yeah! They broke the "sac" to get things going and I had the baby at 5:49am. Some big pushes (ouch!) but all went well. Just came home yesterday. Our first night went good. Nursing has been good...he's very hungry!!
I also wanted to thank everyone on MDC for their support and replies when I asked questions or needed to vent. I love this group of women! On to the life with babes boards and also continuing with the toddlers!
