Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Had Haylen on april 24th, was the most tramatic labor I could imagine.
Was induced after being 11 days overdue, had the prosteglandin gel on the 23rd, and it started to dialte me and around 5 pm on the 23rd i was getting contractions, strong at 1 min apart, this continued for 24 hours!!! my h2o broke , and i was ready to start pushing, but the contractions were so bad, i had to through my all natural birth plan out the window, and got an epidural and pretty much everything eles,....
i was in sooo much pain, i was projectile vomitting, pushing, contracting for another 3 hours, my doctor pooked his head for my first push, and was like, ok call me when its crowing,...so three hours later, two doctors showed up and said i had to have an emergency c-section,...it took 2 hours to get me in, as the or was booked, i felt like i was dying, cause baby was right there, crowing, but was breached,, so as i was screaming down the halls to the or, they gave me another epiduarl, and threw some scrubs at my boyfriend and told him to hurry and put them on... on the operating table, they had about 6 ppl working on me, they actually had to get this little intern to come and help them, they were pushing my baby up back my vagina, through the birth cannal back to my stomach, the bed was like shifting back and forth, i was just looking at my boyfrined as the bed was moving back and forth, and i remember thinking, omg hes not going to make it....then i heard his darling little cry for the first time...
then they took me to the recovery room for 2 hours and i had only held him for 2 seconds...i had to stay in the hospital for 4 days, and my god, it was horrible,not at all like the natural way i had planned it......
BUT he is healthy, and almost 9 lbs and so sweet and beautiful and perfect...now if only he would sleep through the night!!!!!
Hello!
This is my first baby, and we are having a boy! we are going to call him Haylen. I have the most wonderful boyfriend the in the entire world, and I love that we are having a little piece of heaven together.
Haylen~ means hall of Light ....light means all that is good, pure, the very essence of life ....my little prince of light!!
Halen in french means breath....
~you are our breath of life~
When I think of heaven
When I close my eyes I can see you smile, and call out for daddy and I
When I see a little boy walking, I think its an angel showing me the precious gift that I'm going to have soon
When I look at daddy, I see you up on his shoulders, I can see you laughing together, off to build your first tree fort.
When I think of summer, I think of your first marshmellow, the first fire you and daddy make, the first hot dogs we will roast
When I see curls I think of your hair, that will be like daddys, your eyes from the ultrasound haunt me, they were mine. You looked at us and we knew you were really ours
When I need proof of miricles, of live going just right, I think of you
When I dream, i dream of us together forever, the three of us,
When I talk about love, its about the two loves of my life, thats you and daddy
When I think of heaven, I see you there, looking down at us and saying, thats them, thats my mommy and daddy.
love your mommy
daddy and I love you so much already! when we went to your first ultrasound, daddy was teary eyed all the way home, he is so proud of you. already..mommy loves her little roo and is working hard to get everything perfect and ready for you!!! Every time daddy comes home from work, he lovingly touches my tummy and askes how "his little boy is" ...when he tells me he loves to see my tummy grow, I want to cry becuase I am so happy to have you both...!!!We are so lucky that daddy goes out and works for us while we can just rest at home, I can't believe that I am going to get to be with my two favorite boys for the rest of our lives!!! Haylen Francious we love you and cant wait to hold you and look at you for the first time!!
To my little angel,
Daddy and I know you are comming soon, cause you have not much more room to grow!! I know that mommy says that she wants to come out soon, she wants you to be healthy and strong so take your time little one. Last night you were not moving for a few hours, and daddy and I were very scared...then daddy put his ear up to my tummy and heard your heart beat, and then we knew you were ok! Last night we went over to some of daddys friends house, and everyone is so excited to know everything about you, but the sweetest thing is when daddy looks at us from across the room, and even though he doesnt say anything, he is telling us that he loves us so much and will always be there for us. I can hardley wait untill daddy can hold you,cause its just been me and you for so long, and when you meet him, you will know what i know ...that we have been blessed with the best daddy to love in the whole world.
A baby asked God, 'They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?' God said, 'Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you.' The child further inquired, 'But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy.' God said, 'Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy.' Again the child asked, 'And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?' God said, 'Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak.' 'And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?' God said, 'Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray.' 'Who will protect me?' God said, 'Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life.' 'But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore.' God said, 'Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you.' At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, 'God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name.' God said, 'You will simply call her, 'Mom.'
I have been stressing out for weeks on how the visiting situation at the hospital and home is going to be like...i feel like i have to protect my little angel from germs, slobbery kisses, overbearing relatives and STRANGERS !!! i wasn't sure of how to go about telling ppl what would make me comfortable without being a bitch...so i decided to do it in a martha stewart type way!!:) im going to send out pre-invataions like below....
you are invited to see our new baby soon...
where: hospital, we will call you when...
or at our house a few days later...
we are so excided to share this day with you...here is just a few requests to keep new mommy and baby as happy as two peas in a pod..
Please try to just have a quick hold and stay...mommy and baby are still tired!
Please respect the quiet surrondings
Please wash hands immediatley before touching baby
Please, no smoking or stong perfums or body sprays
and i know its tempting but please no kissing our little angels face untill he is a bit more used to the germs in our world!
We look forward to having you spend this time with us, and thank you for respecting our wishes...

Awww! Congrats...he is so cute:) lenslik - Wednesday, 14 May
hey girl, I also type with one hand often, lol, but hey, that's what we wanted!:)))
Yeh, I gained 45 lb during pregnancy and after few weeks after birth I lost 25 lb. Unfortunately I can't get rid of remaining 20. After going out last saturday and seeing pics from the party I realised that I can't walk around with this and though what a hell, I'm going to the gym! I heard scary stories that your body will keep this extra pounds no metter what to produce milk, I don't know how true this is, but i'm gonna try gym anyways. I weight 150 now and my husban 155! Gross!!!!
oh, about the wax thing, well I've been doing wax myself for about 8 years already and last weekends I tried to do it....oh.....that was soooooooo painfull...so I could do only top and rest I had to shave:( So be carefull when u do wax!
I also have dark line on my stomach and it's been 6 and a half weeks already, I wonder when it's gonna go away!
How is your breastfeeding? does it hurt? how is ur milk supply?
yeh, I have facebook account I rarely use it though, here is my email lenslik@yahoo.com

adorable! lenslik - Wednesday, 14 May
he is so cute!!!! angelbabies14 - Sunday, 11 May
My goodness sweetie I just read your story... I've been wondering about you and the baby. I guess we just never know whats in store for us. I'm so sorry you had to go thru all that but its probably worth it now as you hold your little one and watch his every move. I'll be praying for you and your family... if you ever have a moment and your on just write me a line or two letting me know how you are doing. :) much love to you and your family.

Hey, girl!! Congratulations!!! I can't believe that birth story. I have to share that w/my new mom friends. Holy crap. That sounds awful. Thank god it's over. Post pics and don't be a stranger!! :)
may - Tuesday, 6 May
congrats I am so happy for you. I went into labor on my own and my water broke and I had to run to the er and they gave me pain meds and it did not work for like 2 hours and about 5 cm I finally got releif but it kept not working and I had to extra doses. 24 hours later he came on the 24th! I did it. I wish the best for you and your baby!
chantal07 - Monday, 5 May
Congrats on your baby boy!!!! YAY! We finally had them!!!
Sounds like you had it pretty rough! Post a pic....would love to see the lil guy...if u can find time....lol...not much time for anything anymore....almost forgot how much work a newborn is.....but I love it and wouldn't change a thing...well except the sleepless nights...lol!
lenslik - Sunday, 4 May
OMG CONGARTULATIONS!!! I'm really sorry to hear that it was hard delivery for you, but Thank God you and your baby are fine! I hope you'll feel better soon and forget all the bad things during delivery.:)
well my girl was screaming all night too, she did it for first few weeks though, now she is sleeping during the night, but she is very noisy and keeps waking me up every hour. I also heard that with boys it's a little harder and that they cary for first 3 month, but I hope for you it's gonna be less:) Hang on girl!:)
Well, my labor was pretty easy and fun, I actually really liked it, except for epidural part, first dr missed it and it hurt so bad and after that they had to re do it again:( the rest was pretty good, I was in labor total for 11 hours. My contractions started at 12 pm on sunday and it was 2 minuts appart and I started to dialate 1 cm every hour. So by 7 pm I was 7 cm and then it slowed down a little, so they gave me pitocin and after that in 40 minutes I had to push, I 've been pushing for 20 minutes and my baby girl was born:) I had a little epistomy, and I didn't tear. Dr also said that she'll be probably a little over 8 lb but she was 7 and 10.
My stomach is hude, I'mm so depressed that I'm still 20lb havier than I was before pregnancy. I heard that when u breastfeed it's easy to get back to you size, but I persanaly think it's not true. I also heard that it's not a good idea to exsersise while breastfeeding...and summer is comming....so i'm depressed about it.
Over all, I love beeing mommy, it's not easy, but it's the best feeling in the world, and guess what? we're on time to celebrate our first mothers day!:))))
angelbabies14 - Thursday, 24 April
Is baby here yet??? Let me know!!!
MILMOM2BE - Wednesday, 23 April
I'm sorry Hun, if you were on the toilet, you took enough, It just didn't get your baby moving. It didn't work for me either, but it didn't cause me much discomfort either, so I still say you might as well try... But I will keep my fingers crossed that your body will kick in with minimal interventions. And if not, well, if bub isn't here yet, I'm sure your doctor knows best. Either way, your baby will be in your arms very soon, and I am so jealous of you for that! Good Luck!!!
lenslik - Wednesday, 23 April
Hey girl! How are you? Are you trying to set a new record of beeing pergnant forever?!:))) Let me know wht's up.
britt.b. - Wednesday, 23 April
cervadil is a pill they insert into your cervix to try to soften it and make your go into labor. good luck on your induction let me know how it goes!
babyfooladi - Wednesday, 23 April
I haven't tried the castor oil this pregnancy. I'm 39 weeks....doctor set up an induction for Monday which puts me only a bit past the 40 mark...so need for the Castor Oil this time around:)
Good luck with the induction! Post some photos when you get home!
aderyn3 - Tuesday, 22 April
I don't know if you've tried the castor oil yet or not, but I don't recommend it! I tried it with my first, and all it did was make me throw up....it was horrible stuff. I would never try that again. The jury is still out, from what I've read, on if it causes the baby to pass the meconium. Meconium in the fluid is only dangerous at the moment of birth if the baby is not thoroughly suctioned before it takes its first breath because it can cause pneumonia / lung infection if it gets inhaled. I had very slight meconium in the water with my son (last birth), but my midwife suctioned him well when just his head was delivered before the rest of him was out so he didn't inhale any of it, and he was fine.
MILMOM2BE - Tuesday, 22 April
PS. just be sure to keep really hydrated! That is a danger of castor oil. Also you might want to buy one of the tasteless/odorless brands, as it will go down alot smoother... Good Luck, and if it doesn't work, at least you gave it a go!
MILMOM2BE - Tuesday, 22 April
Actually, since castor oil is not absorbed into the bloodstream it does not go to the baby, and does not cause the baby to have a bowel movement. It is a really thick oil, think melted vaseline, and it "slicks" thru your intestines, causing you to have diarhea and cramping. So no risk to baby, that misconception started because women were told not to take it until after they were already overdue, and the longer a baby is overdue, the greater chance the baby has of making that bowel movement, so they saw alot of bowel movements in those over due babies and blamed it on the oil. We now kno that to be untrue, but it is really hard to get ppl to pay attention to science when they are busy trying to scare ppl out of using natural methods...
babyfooladi - Tuesday, 22 April
I was talking to my grandmother yesterday (she had 5 kids). Back in the day, she needed to have my uncle before the New Years for tax benefits....the doctor told her to take some castor oil...she said it worked! Labored on the 30th of Dec., but was due Jan. 2nd.
I tried with my son years ago and the Castor oil did absolutely nothing for me. No potty issues, no contractions...
I say go ahead and try it. It's a method that's been used for years and years. Ignore all the paranoia freaks. For goodness sake, they'll probably tell you not to step outside your house either because pollution may hurt you or the baby...geesh.
may - Monday, 21 April
oh you poor thing I can not believe that you are still pregnant! it must seem like it will never come! I go in tomorrow and I will either be induced or have a c-section I will know more after my appoint\ment this afternoon. I am relieved that I have finally made it to the end but nervous that I will be a good mom and nervous that it will go ok and all that. Like how will I know how much to breast feed him? How will I know how to bath him if the water is to hot or not? How does he sleep and will he sleep ok? I am worried and so anxious all at once! Good luck to you and keep me posted :)
ladobruk - Monday, 21 April
So many women have tried the castor oil on here with no luck. Depending on how much you take, just a lot of cramping and pooping going on and still prego after. I think the few it does work for were on the verge and it would have happened anyway. Just my opinion. I know this waiting it hell. My body is so tired and done!!!
natalie75 - Monday, 21 April
HI, The gel tampton I got at the hospital didn't work. I go back today. Today they are going to try potocin. I really didn't want that. I read about castrol oil and I was afraid I read that it may but the baby understress and the baby may have a bowel movement and I don't want that. so I will cross my fingers and hope that today is the day. Hope things start for you to. Good Luck.
aderyn3 - Monday, 21 April
Oh, I knew I had seen it somewhere. The ACOG statement says that most babies who go 2 weeks overdue are fine....it's right on the 41 weeks forum page!!
aderyn3 - Monday, 21 April
Hi there! Actually, I do medical transcription from home, I don't actually work in a hospital. I'm not really all that familiar with the gel. I had an induction with my first, but they didn't use that on me, and I've had homebirths since. I have heard some bad things about Cytotec. I don't think I would personally use that. I've also in the last few days read some alarming things about Pitocin that have me concerned enough I may be checking into statue of limitation guidelines for some problems my oldest daughter has that I believe could be attributed to the Pitocin she was exposed to for 27 hours! I've read some articles that state there are people who believe the mass use of Pitocin may be to blame for the rise in autism!
I have always read 2 weeks over due was safe, as long as the baby was showing no signs of distress and fluid levels were good, mom's BP is normal, etc. Here is some info from the Mayo Clinic, stating 2 weeks is safe, as long as baby and mom's health are fine: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/inducing-labor/PR00117 . I don't blame you for not wanting an induction. I would never do it again, and I have a friend's sister who went in at 37 weeks for her check up, had contractions, they sent her to the hospital and broke her water, wasn't progressing "fast enough", and had a C-section 12 hours after they broke her water. She probably wasn't even in labor, just in prelabor, and she had to have major abdominal surgery because the doctors intervened. I was also threatened with a C-section with my induction and just squeaked in under the time limit. I'm 10 days overdue myself right now, and I'm more paranoid about it than my midwife! I had contractions for 18 hours Friday that just stopped, and it's had me a wreck all weekend. She said I just need to relax and take it easy, that stress and anxiousness can keep labor at bay. Try to take it easy yourself! And remember, doctors are much more likely to take your requests seriously if you come in with info to back it up that you're making an intelligent, informed decision. You have the right to decline any medical procedure you do not want performed, as long as you have been informed of all of the risks vs benefits and you are of sound mind to make a competent decision (I know you are, but just telling you what the doctors state when patients decline things.) Good luck and hang in there!
