May & June 2022 Munchkins

She’s here! I woke up around 6 this morning to contractions. Went to the hospital 2 hours later. They gave me IVs for the group B strep but only had time for one of the bags of meds. She was born at 2:40 pm. :) My phone isn’t letting me upload pictures for some reason so I’ll try again later.

Wow that was fast! I hope you and your little one are doing well and you are enjoying all the baby cuddles!!
 
Thanks love.not to sure about being strong tbh I’ve done so much crying over the last few days. But thanks for the kind words.
We are going to continue trying and hopefully we will get pregnant again and hopefully the next one is the one and will be a healthy take home rainbow baby.
You are for sure strong !! wishing you the best of luck ! xx
 
Sorry I haven't been on yo update you guys but you know how these things get.

I went in last Monday to be induced but the ward was really busy. They ended up doing an NST just to check on baby and sending me home. They offered me the gel or Foley catheter before going home to try and get things started but I opted not and just decided to enjoy the day.

So I ended up going back in the next day (tuesday) at 41w2d. I was admitted around 830am and we got things rolling. Did the Foley catheter, didn't start the oxytocin for a few hours cause baby's heart rate was slightly elevated. I think we started the oxytocin around 2pm. The Foley came out at 130pm, at which point I 4cms. Doc broke my water shortly after that and of course that's when the contractions got real. I let the nurse know I'll take the epidural anytime. The anesthesiologist was there within an hour I wonna say. I wasn't in pain for long, felt like forever but I don't think it was lol.

Then it was nap time. I pretty much slept the rest of the afternoon/evening. The nurse would come and switch up my positioning every now and then. I think I was 10cm around 1030pm and we started pushing for a bit but the baby's positioning was off. She was laying sideways. Doc came in and tried to turn her with a few contractions but no luck. So they told me to go back to sleep we would wait an hour or so and see if the baby would turn. I think I started pushing around midnight again, baby was still sideways and because of this my hard work pushing for an hour and a half wasn't progressing. She was stuck. Doc recommended a vacuum birth to help her out. I agreed.

Once the vacuum was used it was 2 contractions and 4 minutes till baby girl was born.

We decided on Sloan Elizabeth for her name. She's doing really well and big brother has been super sweet so far.
Oh wow ! Glad your both ok after that labour ! I am surprised they didn’t know before hand she was sideways .. crazy !

I love her name too !! Congratulations xx
 
Oh I’m so sorry you got Covid BabyBump! The stress and isolation is so hard. If it makes you feel better, Charlotte never caught it from us even though everyone else in the family did.

I’m sorry for your loss Sugger - I know how much this baby meant to you :hugs:

Dream - congrats on your baby, I absolutely love her name


Thanks hon. I am devastated but we are going to keep on trying. Cd5 Today so will start opks tomorrow. I’m taking some new supplements so I’m praying they will help.
Praying the next one will be my take home rainbow baby.

Sorry u all got covid hope ure all well now.

congratulations on the new babies ladies.
 
Congrats, Yoshi. She is beautiful.
Hey, beautiful mommies! Hope you are all doing good. I have a question.. it’s been a month postpartum and I noticed I have little lumps down by my vagina opening. About 2/3 of them. Smaller than a dime but bigger than a pimple. Has anyone experienced these?? They don’t hurt or anything. I’ve never had any lumps down there before pregnancy so I was unsure what this could be.

Could it cysts from the swelling / pressure . I’d get it checked out anyways !
 
Congratulations yoshi! Your labour sounds great! And your daughter is beautiful!

I also had my little one over the weekend.
Basically they sent me in for induction Thursday for reduced movements. They were planning on breaking my waters n then seeing what happened, bur no one actually did anything or examined me til Fri lunch to start things off, after q whole night promising 'you're next on the list'.
Then on the Friday they discovered my cervix was nowhere near being able to break my waters so they put the pessary in to get things going. Started having contractions, needing gas and air and went in the birth pool and then by Saturday morning everything just stopped. Bearing in mind I didn't sleep Thurs or Fri night. I was exhausted. So they changed the plan Saturday lunchtime to give me an epidural then break waters so I could rest til it was time to push, because I'd had a few quite brutal examinations and it was v sore down there.
My friend who's midwife coordinator came in on her day off to look after me cos she said she just had this sense something wasn't right. So they did the epidural then she was trying to break my waters with the hook. But something told her to just do one more examination first. Turns out baby was laying sideways and if she'd broke my waters his cord would have prolapsed, which would mean he would have died or been severely disabled. So they whizzed me straight to theatre and delivered him there and then. Took nearly an hour to stitch me up because I wouldn't stop bleeding. He weighed 7lb 13.5oz at birth. He's beautiful. Cian Michael :blue:
We came home last night and I'm in a heck of a lot of pain from the surgery. But I guess that's normal as it's not even 48 hours since. Sorry for the essay!:haha:

Congratulations, he is adorable! I'm glad that they decided to check you before breaking your water! I had a similar experience just with my baby going breech. It's always such a relief when the baby comes out safe. Hopefully your pain will get better, just make sure to keep up on the pain medicine and make sure to rest. I am 8 weeks post c section and I feel mostly normal now, only a little achy when I overdo things. Enjoy cuddles with you little boy!
