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.

I was using the evening primrose oil but I was having a problem inserting them to get them close to the cervix. I had to use them because my fiance wouldn't have sex with me, haha! I was also taking raspberry leaf caplets. I felt the same way. I hated being pregnant and never wanted to do it again. And the same with labor. I swore I was never having any more children. Well 3 days later I was ready to do it again! I can still remember the pain but it is sooooo worth it! Unfortunately for me though, my fiance does not want any more. He has a child from a previous marriage and I have one from a previous relationship so this is our third one. They are just so amazing though that it almost breaks my heart to think that I will never get to do it again. So right now I am enjoying every single second of my beautiful baby because she is getting older every day and I don't want to miss a thing!


sexikisses - Monday, 26 May
I was talking about that lady his1stmy4th. She posted the same question in every week. The u/s said she's having a girl but do we really think so? Hello! We were not there nor are we u/s technicians! Lol I dunno just irritated me.


cjlal - Monday, 26 May
How are things going for you so far? Have you been having any contractions or signs that the baby may be coming soon? Do you know what you are going to have?


cjlal - Monday, 26 May
My water broke at 8:45pm and she was born at 1:12am. It hurt like crazy!!! Because I live in such a small town we do not have a dr here qualified to give epidurals so they are not offered. The only things you can get are morphine and gas. I tried the morphine and it did nothing. I tried the gas about 3 contractions away from having her and it did nothing either. It was PAINFUL! Sorry, dont want to scare you. I don't recall labor with my first daughter feeling like that. But I am already starting to forget the pain and wanting to get pregnant again! LOL! Pregnancy and babies are the most amazing miricle in life!


cjlal - Sunday, 25 May
I did! I had her on May 22 @ 1:12am. She is amazing!


cjlal - Sunday, 25 May
My contractions were not consistant at all. I would get one big one and then two or three little ones shortly after and then nothing for a while. I was not dilated before they started so it all happened after the water broke.


MissDestiny - Saturday, 24 May
Haha I like your little blog up there, I coulda wrote it myself. Jeez it's weird that we're not expected to pop for another week, yet, I feel like I'm 9 months overdue lol. Lets hope we get to meet our babies much sooner than later! ☺


Amberizzle - Saturday, 24 May
I'm not sure actually. Cramping a lot and stuff, but nothing major. I just pretty much feel like I have the flu. Doctor hasn't checked me in two or three weeks, at which time my cervix was soft but not dilated... so I'm not sure. =/


kaceydanielle - Saturday, 24 May
hey!
Just wondering how the Caster Oil turned out for you? I have thought about taking it myself but im a little scared to...lol
Im afraid ill go into labor and still be poopin! lol


amandakaye - Saturday, 24 May
 Pregnancy looks GREAT on you!! You look amazing, way better than me, and I am only 23 years old :( !!! I hope I get back to being 'hot'!


amandakaye - Saturday, 24 May
So what did happen with the castor oil? I had tried it with my first pregnancy and it never worked (tried it twice)! I hope they go to 45 weeks too, thanks for making me laugh, been kinda hard for people to do lately!


amandakaye - Friday, 23 May
Yeah the same like 3 people keep just chatting about everyday life on here and it takes up the whole damn page! And it sucks when this is the one place you feel like you can come to get people to sypmathise with you. I always think I will leave a comment and get all this great feed back and that will make me feel better, then I get nothing, and I am like wtf!!!! And here I am leaving comments about serious stuff, oh well maybe it would be best for me to just stay off here this next week until I get induced. I am really sorry that you are not progressing!! With my first pregnancy I went to 40 weeks and 6 days before I had her and those last 4 weeks of getting checked and having nothing happen was terrible!!! I would say your best bet is just to power walk as much as you can and as much as it sucks, because I really think it helps thin everything out! GOOD LUCK, you can caome coment my page whenever you need to vent!


Moody-Mama - Friday, 23 May
Well I know why you me and half the women on here are crying....it has been a long 9 months so far, and our hormones are raging!!! I hate to say it gets worse in the first couple of weeks after birth....but brace yourself-!! LOL. Just try to relax as much as possible now, and try to make quality ALONE time with your partner ! Once the baby arrives, it'll be a little while till you get sleep or one on one time!!! HANG IN THERE!!!


Moody-Mama - Thursday, 22 May
Hang in there! I feel the same as you, except I'm stuck at 2cm. He is not fully engaged yet either. My first was 12 days overdue b4 they induced. UGHHH. I keep hoping this one will happen naturally...


bobbette89 - Monday, 19 May
belive me i KNOW its hard waiting. this is my 3rd full term pregnancy, so i know. this one has been extra complicated;even more reason to get my little one here.

sometimes you may luck and the home remedies work, but really until that little baby is ready, nothing will work.

thankfully i am being induced thurs morn at 530, so they can go aheah w/ the surgery as soon as i deliver. that is if i make it that far on my own. the way i have been hurting down there, i think i may have dilated more and i think the baby has dropped more.
really at this point we are all miserable, just some worse than others....

stay in touch sweetie
i would love to read your birth story
hang in there, she will be here before you know it-for the rest of your life :)
take care
xxxooo bobbette


bobbette89 - Monday, 19 May
i dont have any suggestions to get labor started. i am 38 wks almost 39 on wed and being induced on thursday d/t kidney stones that ive had since feb thats had me in the hospital 5 times. i live in pain everyday bc of them.

i feel my baby is between my legs too. sometimes i am afraid to pee or poo-thinking hes gonna come on out!!! hope thats not too much TMI

i had an ob visit thurs and i was dilated to 1 cm then, but i think i have dilated some more with all the pain and burning and bones hurting down there.

ive tried walking, squats, sex, evening primrose oil. i dont think they are gonna come naturally until they are ready. between the sex 2 days in a row and the EPO pills- one or both of the two hurt me BAD the next day. so we arent gonna go either of those anymore. well no sex til after baby comes :}.
during sex it was fine, it was good and i enjoyed it but the next day i was in severe pain down there. a burning, ripping, tearing kind of pain in my lower tummy near my pubic bone.
i wouldnt recommend castor oil, i did that w/ my last pg and it just gave me very awful diarhhea cramps and diarhhea. and it tasted like drinking motor oil or somthing, it was really gross : {
i dont know what to tell you to try bc uve done most everything. she probably wont come until she is ready,,,,
i'll keep ya in my prayers, i feel your pain girl
good luck
keep me posted
xxxooo bobbette

 wow you seriously dont look 35


LAURASUE - Monday, 19 May
Aww sorry hun - I know isn't it boring being pregnant?! What can we even do at this stage?! Nothing v fun! Its good ur still managing 2hav sex - we hav tried but I just find it so uncomfortable!

I'm sure everything ur doing must b at least moving things in the right direction. Every1 says they just come when they r ready, but not only am I bored of being pregnant & uncomfortable,I'm also scared of being late & having 2b induced so do want 2try everything! Hav heard bad things about castor oil too. How about evening primrose oil? Or driving down a really bumpy rd :)?!

xx


LAURASUE - Monday, 19 May
Aww sorry you're not feeling good hun - but surely contractions must b a sign that something is going2 happen soon? Hopefully! I still don't even know what a contraction feels like!

Good 2 know using the breast pump didn't hurt - hav u used it much? Will def b giving that a try in a couple of wks!

Good Luck huni xx


LAURASUE - Monday, 19 May
Hi hun - nice 2 meet u. How ru doin?

Yeah I am v bored of being pregnant now!! Can't wait 4 my baby 2b here. I know some women enjoy pregnancy but I hav2 say I really don't!! I am really uncomfortable 2.

How ru feeling 2day? Any signs of anything happening yet? I haven't really tried 2 induce labour yet since I'm only 35wks &I know its not totally safe yet. But I hav been taking raspberry leaf tea4 a couple of wks2 try help make labour quicker - not sure how effective it is but I've heard quite a few good things. I hav also been trying 2 walk quite a lot2 get baby in the right position - but I get so tired now!! How ru finding it?

As soon as I hit 37wks I am going2 try using my breast pump 2. A midwife who I know actually recommended it - although I know it can b a bit contraversial - she is not only a midwife but has 3 children of her own so I trust her judgement. She said it is good coz u can store the milk ready4 when baby gets here. And she said it can bring on labour. How hav u found it? I have heard it is painful at 1st? Hav u managed2 express much milk?

I've also been reading on here about taking evening primrose oil from 37wks so I mite try that too. Hav u tried that?

Good Luck anyway hun- hope ur coping -really not long 2 go now!! xx


tlc - Sunday, 18 May
thanks for the info re: pumping. i think i'd want to try it soon to give myself one less thing to really learn when the baby comes. i turn 38 weeks on thursday, and that's when my next OB appt is too. i'll see what progress i've made and try to get an estimate out of him as to what the baby's weight will be. if he tells me she's at least 7 lbs already, i'm going to go for the breastpump stimulation! even though my nipples have been off limits for my husband for quite some time, there's no way he is going to have the patience to last as long as the pump!
