Hey ladies! I'm so excited to say that I am no longer pregnant. I had my baby at 40+3.
I gave birth to Andrew Anthony yesterday at 5:14pm at home after 4 hours of labor. He was 8lbs 9oz and 21.5 inches long.
I had a few crampy contractions throughout the morning and though something was going on but kept cleaning the house, doing laundry etc....
About 1pm I was about every 10 minutes. Called the midwife at 3pm, was 6 minutes apart, it took her an hour to get to my house, so dh and I filled up the birthing tub. My midwife got here, checked me said I was 7-8 at 4:15. I couldn't believe it, I got in the tub and relaxed even more, Felt kinda pushy, so I got out and onto the birthing stool, (I've never used one before) my water still hadn't broke yet. I pushed 1 time and my water broke all over the midwife sitting indian style infront of me....lol oops. and the next push he was crowning, I had to keep telling myslef,....slow, slow, slow, I didn't want to pop him out and tear. So 2 pushes, 1 for the water and 1 for his head and body all in the same contraction. My midwife barely caught him he came out so fast, she handed him to me, slick and wet upsidedown. I had to flip him over to see what I had, I saw alittle penis and thought OMG! I have 3 boys now.!!!! LOL He also came out with not 1 but to 2 hands on his cheeks and I didn't tear, unbelievable!
He's beautiful and nursing like a pro. He is my smallest baby. My 1st was 8lbs 11 oz and my 2nd was 9lbs 12 ozs. His brothers already love him, although Brady (my 2 yr old) said "Momma he looks like a lizard"! LMAO
I hope all the rest of the momma's left to birth their babies have an easy, fast delivery like mine.
