Fun!

Baby's gender: male
Weight (lbs/oz): 7lbs, 3 oz.
Length (in): 19
Baby birthdate and gestation: 1.7 - 40 weeks and a couple days
Time of day: morning
Length of labor: very fast, under six hours
Place of Birth: hospital
Other details: We stay at home so long, we barely make it to the hospital and MW scolds me!


With DD, I ws Pit induced and went from 100% and 4 cms, never feeling a single contraction or BH, to 10 cms in an hour, had the baby in just under two hours. On the lowest available dose of Pit.

So a very quick labor is probably in the cards for me.

A girlfriend I've known for years always thought we'd be PG together - we were she has a little girl a couple months older than my DD. Guess what? She's PG again, and so am I! Again, she's a little further ahead, and her US last week showed boy! For a variety of reasons I'm thinking boy.

Mine:

EDD: 1-3-08
Baby's gender: Boy
Weight (lbs/oz): 8lbs, 1oz
Length (in): 18in
Baby birthdate and gestation: 12-21-08 (tax purposes, eek! lol) 38 weeks gestation
Time of day: noon
Length of labor: 10 hours
Place of Birth: birth center
Other details: I won't realize I'm in real labor until my water breaks and then I'll think I have a long time left to go when I hit transition, freak out and yell to go to the birth center. That will be around 8 hours and I'll still have another two hours of pushing to go. Just when I'm sure I'm going to give up, he'll pop out and I'll be feeling his head and catch him.

Baby birthdate and gestation: 37 weeks gestation (also hope to get in the calendar year for taxes and insurance deductables)

Yep. I was open to home birth, but we went to the hospital due to PIH.

Other details:
She came earlier than I think she would have if left to her own devices. She was born after two membrane sweeps done in an attempt to avoid an induction due to PIH. She was born about 3 hours before I would have been induced. Good girl!! :
