Finally, I get a chance to post here. I had a beautiful baby girl last week Friday.
Her name is _________. She weighed 7lbs 14 oz. I'm not sure how long she was though.
I had been planning for a VBAC......and yayyy that's what we had. Up until a few weeks ago it looked like I had placenta previa, so we were getting a little discouraged. Then I had a series of ultrasounds (trans-labia & trans-vag) that showed the placenta was low-lying but far enough away.
I had to stay in the hospital until Tuesday because of some complications. A hematoma developed in the vagina wall tissue from the baby coming out (must have bumped something) and the midwife and doc didn't know about it until I woke up in excruciating pain that night. Demerol helped ease the pain and let me sleep a little. I woke up in the morning and tried to go pee, didn't happen..so I tried in the shower. Then I almost fainted; my hearing was going as my husband and the nurse helped me to the bed. That evening I went in for a little operation to get the hematoma out. After all the blood loss I had to have a transfusion of 2 units. I guess my hemoglobin level was low to begin with.
Maybe some day I'll get around to posting a full-birth story.
