UPDATE!!! Hello Labor Day!! UPDATE!!!  

post #1 of 28
Thread Starter 
Well, I'm excited to announce that I am actually in labor! We're still in the early stages, looks like it might be another 12 hour labor! They're coming about every 10 minutes just like last time. I'm almost completely effaced and I'm doing pretty good as of now! I had spotting around 4am this morning (which I had been having mucous/spotting every night while sleeping for a few nights). By 5am I was pretty sure I was in labor but ya know, I've been fooled before!! It's 9am now and there's no denying it!

Looks like I'm going to have to go thru labor w/a case of hemrhoids. : Great fun!!

Well, I'll keep everyone updated!! :

UPDATE!!!

Sweet Baby Girl (like the name? )
July 13th 11:38am
7 pounds 3 1/2 ounces
19 1/2 inches long

So sweet and so perfect!!! She has been nursing like a champ and my milk came in last night!

Active labor was only about an hour and a half ! Everytime I sat down they petered out and I was NOT coming this far only to have it turn out to be another day of PL crap! So I got up and started walking and thank GOD dh and the kids made it back from breakfast in time! I had some music on and I was having 3 ctx per song so I knew it was going to be quick. It's amazing what walking around will do for ya! I just wanna eat her up!

I will post a full birth story and pics as soon as I can... These after pains are truly getting the best of me. Also having some issues w/uterine prolapse and I did lose quite a bit of blood. There were some clots behind the placenta, too. This has been the hardest recovery out of the 4.

Well, I'm going to check up on everyone else to see who's had babies and who's still patiently awaiting their LO! Then it's back to the bed w/our new babe!

Sending lots of love to all

Making Progress!

I am hoping so too! I've been having pretty regular contractions since about 3 a.m. Right now we are about every 4 min, just not very long. Hopefully it won't peter out and we will have a Sunday babe. If not today, I think definitely by tomorrow. Hope everyone else is having a great day too!

Oops--didn't mean to hijack this thread. I thought I was posting in the daily!
