Congratulations!! Gorgeous family and she looks just perfect! Sorry you had to fight off annoying staff......I hate, hate, hate it when people would rather be *right* than helpful!

I tried to reply last night, but Mothering wouldn't let me. Grr... So glad you're back and all's well!

Congrats to you and your family, and welcome baby Finley! Sorry you didn't get your idea birth, but hooray for having your beautiful little girl in your arms!!!

I'm so relieved that you didn't have a c/s! When they said it was "time to get her out" I started tearing up, thinking "No! After all that she can't go through a c/s too!" Sorry the staff was so ridiculous.

Congrats! Finley looks perfect! I love the picture of all three kids together, adorable. Also you look amazing, I can only hope I'll look so good after labor.

Congratulations mama, but I am so sorry you had such a negative experience . I know how worried you were about the placenta removal, so I'm glad you had the epi in place for that so you didn't have to go through that trauma again .

And bah to all those nurses!! They sound like they are immature bullies . Thank goodness for the one LC who supported you -- I'm so glad she was there for you.

I am glad your girl is here safe and sound, and it sounds like she is doing great! Congratulations again .

P.S. It's good to hear from you. We were all wondering where the heck you were! The suspense was killing us .

Congratulations mama! I had some icky nurses with my first as well, but in the end you have your beautiful baby. That's all that matters now!

She's beautiful!

ETA: You have a stunning family, all of you have amazing eyes.

Thank you so much! I KNEW it was headed to a CS too. I was so so so sure that was going to happen and I kept thinking "I canNOT believe this is happening!!"

I'm so thankful that it didn't happen.

She is just precious!! and you DO have a beautiful family!

on the placenta issue, have you ever been tested for antibodies/clotting disorders? Sometimes those can cause premature breakdown of the placenta.

No, I haven't but I'm really going to ask at my follow up appt.

Thank you so much for the replies, you guys are the greatest.
