lurking from Jan as usual, but what a beautiful baby girl!!!! and may I say I'm sooo impressed that you knew so many steps to take w/ hemorraging and when it wasn't working out and you needed to transport. To know yourself and your body that well is inspiring!! I'm glad the hospital staff were pleasant for the most part.

I just wish it all would have worked, but with the placenta piece still in there, I'm glad I called because I have no idea what I would have done with that.

Thanks, everyone.
OMG I know! I had actually ordered some Afterease as well to help with the afterpains, but after drinking so many doses of nasty tasting herbs after birth I could just barely stomach anymore! I only used it a few times & then resorted to ibuprofen.

So now you & I have both had our 1st UCs & both hemorrhaged with 2 babies! I'm curious, if you don't mind sharing or are even thinking about it all all yet, if you think you'll have more babies & if you think you'd have a UC again? I'm leaning toward it, but GAH stupid hemorrages....

Anyway, so you must be home now? Are you feeling better & enjoying your babymooning?

Yay new baby!

I came home last Wednesday. Thankfully! It is nice to be home.

I do not have any more plans for more kids. Dh DEFINITELY does not want more. I have always said I wanted 10. I am from a big family

Right after I had Ari, I was thinking "You have to be insane to have children! OMFG that was horrible!". My first back labor and I just was in so much pain I wanted to die. However, as the week has gone on, I can't help but thinking that maybe in 5 years minimum I would maybe not be done. I think dh is going to get the big V, but I really kind of do want another eventually. I need some time after this birth, though.

If I did have another which is highly unlikely with dh's feelings about it, then I would UC again. However, I don't know. I think it depends on my feelings at the time I might get a midwife just to be in the house-not at the birth, but close in case I hemorrhage again. I would want another solo or unhindered birth, and I think dh would appreciate someone on hand in case something like this happens again.

At least I know now what I could have done as far as taking more placenta out and really checking that placenta and taking a minute to worry about myself after the birth. The pool really helped with the pain, and I loved it, but with the mess, I would not have another water birth. Our pump did not work to empty it, so dh had to do it by hand.

I was in the hospital myself with dd much of last week, so I'm late in reading and responding to some of these, but my god, just had to jump in to say she is just GORGEOUS! She has the prettiest little face!

I'm so sorry to hear about the back labor and the ambulance run, but really your story is very inspirational. Can't imagine how scary that must have been. Good for you!

Not in your DDC but I love you so had to post: Congratulations!!!! She is absolutely beautiful. Wow, what a wild ride you had too. The pics are so poignant, beautiful snuggly babe in soft clothing, held with a blood stained hand. Kind of tells the story.

I'm so glad for you mama that she is here, and hope you are feeling as well as possible. Much love.
