Hi all, hope it's ok to post this here.


Zoe Anna S. was born yesterday at 3:57 PM via c-section...it was easy and perfect and so is she.
She gets the distinction of being our smallest baby at 7 lbs. 12 ounces and 20 inches. Surgery was 23 minutes from start to finish and was smooth and complication free. I went home a little bit ago. She looks just like Avery and is pretty laid back. We did have a harrowing night of gas bubbles but if that's as bad as it gets I'll take it!


More details to come...settling in...

Thanks all for the well wishes and support.


XOXO

Gone from the computer 3 hours and I miss it...
I'll just say-- "what they all said"

I'm so so proud of you for fighting for your child, your body. I'm so glad that they treated you with dignity at the hospital. I'm so glad your little Zoe is a good, healthy weight/age.

I can't believe I didn't see this thread!! OMG!!

Congratulations! And you are still my hero, especially for giving Zoe those two extra weeks she needed. You are an amazing mama, and your kids are all lucky to have you


Happy babymooning.
and hey, who knows, if you still want to UC, you could always UBA5C! I'm glad everything turned out well and that you're both doing fine. Praying for a speedy recovery for you.

Huge Congrats and Welcome Zoe.
And huge congrats for sticking to your guns and doing things YOUR way - and showing those docs that you were perfectly able to make qualified, safe and reasonable decisions all the way.
I am sorry for the vaginal UC you didnt get - I have been there and know that even though I was in charge of my birth and made all the calls, I still grieve the UC I "lost".
Some things are just out of our hands arent they..
Huge congrats again - enjoy your lovely daughter and pad yourself on the shoulder for the amazing courage and selfconfidense you have kept through all this time despite the medical community doing their best at getting in control.
Lots of good wishes and thoughts.
