My profile- i am not pregnant anymore but can't figure out how to change the profile thing

I am 35 years old and living in Massachusetts. I had my baby on June 4th my baby was 7lbs 10 ounces and was born at 2:26 am her name is Chesney Shea, I was in labor for 18 1/2 hrs it was a very traumatic delivery. I am soo uncomfortable, but sooo greatful, i'm obsessed with her. I can't wait to see pics of all my peeps and their lil ones god bless!!!!!



Ok So here goes, u asked for the birth story.

I went in on may 30 fri i alot of pain, and was having crazy contractions and was completely effaced. Well after u/s determined kidney stones and contractions stopped altogether it was determined that the kidney stones irritated my cervix which brought on false labor, who knows if thats bs or not cuz they were pretty real. I was admitted that night given a bunch of demerol and discharged sat. I was still in tons of pain on sat and sun and went back to labor and del. on Mon in excruciating pain, they decided to keep me and induced me at 9pm that evening they started with cervidal which thins out the cervix and has to be kept in for 12 hrs, ( i was already effaced so it's unclear why they used this). At 8:01 on tues the 3rd started pitocun they started it really slow by 3 pm i had only dilated to 2 cm so they turned up the pitocin and broke my water, it was getting bad they were coming on soo strong so right at 6pm i got to 3cm and they did epidural. i hated the feeling i felt paralyzed i couldn't feel my feet and felt like i had ants crawling over me. at 7 they jacked up pitocin again i was in tears and screaming by 10 i was in between 6-7 cm they jacked it up yo 22 ( the highest you can go is 26-28) so i was ridiculously uncomfortable, they gave me a larger amt of epidural which did numb me but still felt like a really yucky feeling, by 12:00am i couldn't take it and started to push without saying anything but still only got to an 8 by 12:45 the nurses decided i could push and they would strtch my cervix. they were looking at eacgh other and i could tell something was wrong, i started shaking uncontrollably and my fever shot up to 102 degrees then we hear the baby decelerating the dr. came in at like 12:55 and gave more epidural and told me we had to get her out now , as i continued to push with everything i had ( it was the most painful feeling ever epidural just stopped working or def didn't come close to overriding the pain) we realized the baby was stuck in birth canal. since having a c-sectio at that point was out ofthe qyestion ( can't pull her out of my belly feet first and rip her out of the canal) the did an episiotomy but a very difficult one they had to cut very deep and alot. i ( sorry for tmi) was i whole the perinium was cut all the way to the end of anus. well after pushing through that and losing tons of blood she arrived through the the use of a vaccuum. her cord was tangled badly and was taken by pediatrician immediatly. I was in hysterics but couldn't really concentrate cuz the pain was just something i can't explain. they started stitching me up, my fever was still really high i had ice packs all over me and i was freezing , i still had no idea where my little girl was and if she was o.k. my fiance had this scared look on his face. then right before stitching i passed the placenta which was just as intolerable as the whole birth, the stitching began and the numbing medicine they gave me just didn't work i felt all of it and they gave me alot. I have 28 stitches down there and edema in both feet due to the pitocin still working through my lymphatic system, My fiancee got to go see the baby and came back to let me know she is fine. i couldn't hold her cuz we both had such high fevers, so she was brought to nursery to feed by bottle i couldn't breastfeed her. I was still kinda out ofit and then they called for blood cuz i kept losing it, then i kinda drifted off for a few minutes. I could see some fear removed from everyone in the room, and my dr. told me i could have the baby in 1 hr i just needed some recovery time and time to bring down fever, they jacked me up on morphine and off to lala land i went, then the baby was brought in and although i'll never say i'd do it all over again if thats what it would be like i was instantly in love and was able to keep her with me through the night, I felt soo bad 4 her, but she'll never remember it and I certainly won't tell her about it. i have a 4th degree laceration and it's pretty serious thats why i stayed in hospital till the 7th. so i'll NEVER GET INDUCED again. i am actually unsure if i will ever give birth again right now the answer is def. no but that may change later. what happened to me is rare so plz don't get to thinking that something like this will be ur experience too. all that matters is she rocks and she is healthy and of course i'll heal in a few weeks it's all behind us now. yippee.

*bree;; - Thursday, 29 May
how the hell are you 35?? you dont look over 21! hah


rochelle - Thursday, 29 May
how frustrating!!! I feel for you. Have you tried any of the myths that help induce labor? massage points on your body? walking? sex? back adjustments? I did all of the above and it helped me, although i think my due dat was off from the start. Let me know if they help at all but try some before you apt. Good luck!!!


3rdtymeround - Wednesday, 28 May
You have to press your doctor to get things moving sometimes. Once I hit 37 weeks which is considered full term I started talking about inductions with him.
My son came on his own 10 days early and my daughter was induced 7 days prior to my due date.


rochelle - Wednesday, 28 May
I think he will because the apt is so early and of all the complications i have been having at least i hope so...but i never pretend to know what will happen with my Dr. so it is what it is... by the way how are you?


rochelle - Wednesday, 28 May
no kidding it worrys me too...but i heard one where the lady had toxemia at 38 weeks and she lost her baby from it...I have toxemia so i am freaked about it! i am on bed rest now and i try to stay off my feet cuz i am freaked about it.


queen-ri - Wednesday, 28 May
also - th mom thing - I understand not having a good relationship with mom and how upsetting it is - I really don't either but we can tolerate each other enough for her to help during the birth (only because she likes midwife work) but I feel It would be so muchbetter if I had someone there that knew what they were doing and had a good relationship with me too . It just feels worse now though as everyone else seems to have their loving moms involved - during labor you won't even be worried about all that lol - and when baby is in your arms nothing else will even matter. Good Luck girl


queen-ri - Wednesday, 28 May
WOW - U do not look 35 at all or miserably pregnant lol! Ok - about the movements you are most likely over reacting - baby has alot less space in there and seems to settle before labor - you may want to count movements every hour and notify your doctor if you are worried though. As long as you feel movement though you are usually fine.



babyrae - Wednesday, 28 May
Your pretty as well! I love your hair! i miss mine. :-( ha ha but i'm miserable too... Last night i thought i went into labor but nope... i was all happy.


MissDestiny - Wednesday, 28 May
Ya I'd be like "it's for my sisters uh, bachelorette party" lol. Too bad you can't get one with a camera on the end of it! No more checking myself now n e ways, i gashed my hand doing dishes and had to get stitches, so I can't utilize my "handy finger"


polingn - Wednesday, 28 May
Try having sex alot of people say that helps speed things up. I'd be if I weren't single haha Good Luck to you and i'm sorry that you and your husband cant perform that Sweep by yourseleves


feltkoo23 - Wednesday, 28 May
Im probably as miserable as they get.


MissDestiny - Wednesday, 28 May
kerrin u can totally get your hubby to move things along. Make sure his hands are very clean, and have him put two finger into you, and use one or both (whatever he can fit) to wipt the inside walls of your cervix, the irritation can cause contractions. An ACTUAL stretch and sweep is whe the doc puts his finger in AND past, between the water sac and the inside part of your cervix, and loosens them. Usually your mucous plug gets dislodged at the same time. So it's more extreme, but if your hubby is willing, ANY attention to the cervix will release oxytocin, and therefor help move things along! Seriously, I can't see how a doc could do any better, it's pretty basic. In fact, if u could reach, there's no way you could be less sensitive about what feels too rough than a doc or your man. I check myself all the time, and try sweep the membranes out, but it's a long reach and I can't get far enough lol. Good Luck, I'm totally behind u trying it!!!☺

no they arent consistant at all...but they still hurt! lol dont be jealous, its just a tease.


christelle - Tuesday, 27 May
Just wanted to let you know your comment on week 38 about trying to induce labour made me laugh. I'm not ready to try all the methods yet, but I haven't had any signs of oncoming labour and can totally see myself doing the same things as you (with the same results :)


Moody-Mama - Tuesday, 27 May
LOL, funny....


cjlal - Tuesday, 27 May
LOL you are to funny!! Has your dr checked you at all? Mine checked me the day before my water broke and stretched out my cervix. I am sure that help me get things moving.


rookie - Tuesday, 27 May
Glad you enjoyed the song. I'm sure your anxious to have your baby at this point...I know I'm looking forward to it and I'm a few weeks behind you. Good luck.


Gypsymama - Monday, 26 May
Yes, the dog is luckily ok. But I am so sore now from catching myself with my palms. Geez! I am huge!!
