30-9-2008 - He is here! HappyMy mood while writing this blog:
Happy



I gave birth on Sept 9th 2008 via C section. I didnt know I was having real contractions, I didnt want the Doctors to send me back home to walk it off a bit. I think my water broke around 4:30 am but I wasnt sure! It was a tiny bit of liquid and the smell was a bit bleachy but I didnt know. It was my first pregnancy and everyone kept on saying " When the time is right you will know". Well obviously I didnt know! LOL!

I went to the Doctor's office, not to the Hospital. I wanted to be sure I was in labor before going to the Hospital. I was ain terrible pain and the Dr. said I dilated 3 cm but also that my hips werent wide enough for my baby. He was still up there, he never descended and hooked on the hips. He tried, Iam sure. I felt him trying weeks before. His head was 9.4 cm and my hip bone had only 7 cm to offer. Poor little guy, I needed 1 more inch to offer him a natural birth.

I had a C section at 1 pm and Iam sure I was more than 4 cm dilated because the contractions became more and more unbearable until the epi came and that was another kind of pain but after a few minutes, I was in baby heaven!

I was fully aware during the C section and I do remember every single comment made and how my Baby was born. I remember his first cry and his Daddy cutting the umbilical cord.

I a still recovering from the surgery but I was very lucky to have a great surgeon, anesthesiologyst and Neonatologyst. I lost abot 80 % of all the weight I put on in the first 10 days after the delivery.

I feel great, my Baby is healthy and the whole family is happy. I couldnt have asked for a better experience in life.

We are dealing with breastfeeding one day at a time and we are moving fast.

I hope my story helps other women who clearly DONT KNOW when real labor is there. Iam a bit of a doofus and a bit too brave to go though the first phase of labor without telling becuase I didnt want to raise false expectations until I was 100% sure.

If someone tells you " You will know when the time comes" Think of me, a new Mommy who clearly didnt know :P .
