Judesmama - Sunday, 7 September
Hi! Sorry for the novel. I'm just sending this to all of you, because I have too many messages to respond to individually! LOL...you girls are the best. Thank you for all of your kind words and your love and friendship. Yes, baby Jude and I are home now. Our first night went very well. He is taking the Soothies bottles very well, and wakes to eat every 3-4 hours. My milk came in WHOA!!! LOL...get ice packs on those babies! I'm not nursing at all this time, so I need it to go away. And the most exciting thing for me is that I was able to have a BM!!!!! LOL...you have no idea how much I dread that after pushing a watermelon out. I am feeling OK, but I am still really in need of prayer. I didn't put it up in my birth story, but I had a terrible scare after Jude was born. About an hour after delivering I got up to go to the bathroom and started hemmorhaging. Blood clots were everywhere! I sat on the toilet and asked the nurse if that was normal. She RAN out of the room and when she came back she handed me 6 Cytotec pills...and THAT scared the crap out of me. Cytotec is used for abortions, and causes extreme contractions of the uterus, often leading to uterine rupture and can cause death. I was so scared to take 6 of those pills but I felt like I had no choice. It was either take them, or sit there and bleed to death. So, I quickly took them and prayed that God would protect me from the possible effects. Within seconds I felt funny. The nurse looked at me and asked if I was OK, I said I didn't feel good. All of a sudden everything went white and I went down. I could hear voices all around me, they sounded far away, and I was unable to respond. They kept asking me questions and I could not move. I felt paralyzed. I wanted to close my eyes so badly but they kept telling me not to. I just kept hearing, "she has no color", "her eyes are glazed", "she is burning up". Thye kept saying "Angie, Angie, Angie...come on", but I could not move. I knew I had gone in to shock
and was likely dying. Finally I heard a nurse say "Anige, don't look down, look up at the ceiling." So, I forced my eyes to look up and that is when they carried me to my bed. They took my BP and it was skyhigh. They were staring at me like I was already gone! But
slowly, I began to cool off and respond to their questions. One nurse said "You are my hero. How did you come back from that?" And another said, "Don't ever do that again." While all of this was happening, my husband was holding baby Jude and crying his eyes out. He was sure he was watching me die. For the next 2 hours I laid in bed shaking like a madwoman as the Cytotec did it's job of contracting my uterus to stop the bleeding. They told Matt he was not allowed to leave me that night (he wouldn't have after that anyway). Throughout the night the nurses kept pushing on my belly and blood would gush out. They never told me how worried they were, but I could see it in their eyes. By God's grace I came around and the bleeding is much less now. I did have another scare last night, though. I had fallen asleep but all of a sudden felt so terrible that I jerked on my husband to wake him. My heart was racing uncontrollably, my back was throbbing, I felt so nauseous and like I was going to go unconscious again. The room was spinning and I was so terrified of having internal bleeding. He got me a cold cloth and sat me down in a cool room until it passed. My back still hurts awfully. I'm not sure if it's from pushing the baby out or if it's uterine related. They said that the reason I had hemmorhaged was because of the fast labor and delivery. I went from 3 cm to pushing him out in just 2 hours. The pitocin made everything go too fast and hard, and it cause a great trauma to my uterus that it could not recover from. But, I am doing OK and we are enjoying our new baby. It sure is a miracle that it didn't turn out for the worse. Thank you all for your love and prayers. As many of you are preparing to have your babies,
remember that it is still so dangerous. Even after having 4 previously I could never have anticipated the trouble I would have this time. I can't wait until you all have birth stories to share so we can chit chat about our babies. I am changing my name...

Love, Judesmama

Love, Angie

And, also, just wanted to tell you I'm also going in tomorrow morning to be induced! good luck! I can't believe it's here

momentfrozenintime - Wednesday, 3 September
thank you, and you too!

coronafrk80 - Wednesday, 3 September
Thank You!!!! So how have you been feeling these days?

prego22 - Wednesday, 3 September
Well good luck!!! You will be holding your baby very soon :) I was induced with my first daughter and I hadnt dialated or anything...She was born 8 hours later. I am sure that you will have no problems - you are pretty much half way there already. If you can let us know how everything goes

momentfrozenintime - Wednesday, 3 September
I agree with you.. young first time mothers know just as much as old first time mothers

NicoleAndGrant - Wednesday, 3 September
Hi Monica, being induced had its disadvantages and advantages. I was induced with my son at exactly 40 weeks due to the fact that I was high risk and I'm being induced for the same reason with this pregnancy. I believe if the baby is in position, you body is ready but needs some help I don't see why you can't get induced. Although for some women wanting to be induced for selfish reasons I have an issue with I guess, it's whatever is best for the baby I say but honestly the Doctor should always do what is best for the baby. :) Best of luck and I wish you a very safe delivery and healthy little boy !! Congrats :)

Congrats on the lil man! About your sis making u feel guilty about an epidural... i think it is just wrong. You should not have to feel one bit guilty optting for an epidural or an induction. I'm sure your sister means well but is going about it the wrong way. Some ppl think that you're less of a mother or it takes away from the birth experience just cuz u opt for an epidural. It is ridiculous...for those ppl, i just want to tell them to go to the dentist and get their wisdom teeth removed without anesthesia so that they could get the "full experience". You're not endangering your child with just a 3 day early induction and someone else is not a better mother just because they went natural. You carried your baby for 9 months...and from your previous comments, u sound like u've had your share of pains and aches. So in my opinion, you're entitled to have a lil relief!! Every pregnancy is different, with my son, my pregnancy was a breeze. I never realized carryin a pregnancy could take such a toll on my body until now and is also hoping the doc will induce me a couple days earlier this time around. And as much as i wanted to be pregnant after my son as i've had 4 consecutive miscarriages after him...i want this pregnancy over with NOW!! Anyways, i hope it all works out for u!! You must be so excited!

MrsSoller - Tuesday, 2 September
Yeah I'm getting induced due to medical reasons. I have 3 times the amount of amniotic fluid that I should. My belly probably measures like 45 weeks now or something. My doctor stopped measuring once it was around 41 or 42 weeks. I have had NST's 2 times a week for the last month. Plus I've already started to dilated. Last time I was dilated to 1-2 and 70% effaced... I know that doesn't mean much... cause i could be stuck at that for awhile... but I had my chiropractor do something to help my cervix dilate more.... we will see if it helped. Have you been told no sex yet? I've heard that can speed things up, or nipple stimulation. Well I hope you aren't pregnant forever, that would suck, :) Good luck!!

suzetter - Monday, 1 September
Thank you!! I thought the same thing and when i was finally about to give up hope of EVER going into labor it happened.. hang in there hun!!

EMILY JONES - Sunday, 31 August
Lol.i knows how u feels. I was nerves about labor. So many woman told me scary and painful stories about there labor. When I finally went into labor, it was not that bad. Yes, it hurts. But I went through it.

Hey girl, My little guy is still hangin in there. :) I hope he comes out soon. It is so painful having him so low in my pelvis! How are you doing? Any signs of the baby coming?

mrs.rodriguez - Wednesday, 27 August
