Alyssa`s birthstory

So I was going to the Hospital Friday the 17th to be induced.
Well when I got there They hooked me up and said I was in labor and the contractions were 3 minutes apart, I was 8 cm dilated 100% effaced.

I felt NOTHING but a little ache in my back.

She broke my water, but for some reaon I did not progress at all, and was still in labor all day long and finally hit 10 cm.
I began to push! and PUSH and PUSH!!
Well needless to say the pushing started to hurt so bad I couldn`t push anymore. And My doctor then told me to stop anyway because the baby was not going to come down.
At that point I was in so much pain and couldn`t take it. I had an emergency C section, for a few reaons actually!!

My blood pressure was SO HIGH!!
I had a fever.
My pulse was High, and she was stuck.
My blood count was 10 (12 is the normal)

After my C section, I was So sick and so cold and could not stop shaking. They later had more blood work done and my blood count was 5! the next day they gave me a blood transfusion.

My baby Girl was 7 lbs 11 oz. 19 inches long.
She is very healthy, but mommy isn`t doing very well. My blood count is at 7. I am too weak to do anything but breastfeed, and that takes a lot out of me!

I was at the hospital from 10-17 to 10-21

Kamden-Michael`s birthstory

Let me tell you how shocked I was. My birth story is a lot better then I thought it would be, it may be long. I had my C section scheduled for today 12-2, but today I came home!

On Saturday 11-28, I was having some cramping. But I was having cramping for several days, so I didnt think anything of it. I went to bed at 9pm, and just a couple hours later I kept waking up to some intense cramps. But I didnt think I was in labor so I would go back to bed after each one. ABout 1:30am I realized they were getting stronger, and I could feel tightness with them. AT that point they felt like VERY strong Period and gas cramps, and I could feel them in the fron of my upper legs. I timed them and they were every 10 minutes. I was shocked at how calm I was, while in so much pain. I waited until 2:30am to wake DH up. He actually said `did your water break` I just said `did it break last time?` And We both got up. I told him to lay in bed and I was going to time them for another 30 mintutes. Well They got to 6 minutes apart.

I called my mom, she came here to watch my daughter and I called the Dr and headed to labor and delivery. Got there, I was having contractions every 5 minutes, they were painful, and I was 5cm dilated!!

My Doctor showed up an hour later and everything was getting all set for my C section. It went so fast!! I got there at 4:30am, and he was born at 6:37am.

Kamden Michael 6 lbs and 19 inches. VERY VERY tiny little man.

I did lose some blood during my C section, but Im ok, just in lots and lots of pain because my meds just are not working as well this time around.

He is nursing very well. He did lose some weight, so I did supplement just for a day and with a syringe, not a bottle. And my Milk came in last night.. well a little.

He has not used a Pacifier, and thatw asnt even the plan. But I like it so far. So we will see how it goes. He is a very good baby.
