Got my Solstice baby!  

post #1 of 19
Thread Starter 
Wow - everything happened too quickly! At 2:30 am on Saturday morning, ctx started coming - 2 minutes apart and 50 seconds long! By the time we made it to the hospital, I was 6 cm; an hour later I was 8 1/2 cm and felt uncontrollably like pushing...the midwife arrived just 15 minutes before the baby was born, at 5:41am. His face was horribly bruised and swollen from pushing past a cervix that hadn't completely dilated, but he's healthy and sweeter than I ever imagined.

Milo Weaver H. (family names for us)
10 lbs 7 oz
21 1/4 inches
my second VBAC - first unmedicated birth (yea, Hypnobabies!)

He came so quickly that the nurses aides were trying to get me to sign admission papers and set me up with an IV access (VBAC protocol) AS I was pushing him out.

Congrats and welcome to your new little guy! I know how intense those fast and furious labors can be; I've had a couple of them myself (with a long one in-between). WTG with the no-med route!

good job and congrats! I have heard about the form signing while pushing thing so many times...I wonder why they haven't figured out they could just catch the baby first, then get all the paperwork in order. I'm sure not a single mom would mind!
