We are so very excited to have her around, even if she is a bit of tyrant! :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2371946 Sun, 29 Nov 2015 04:07:24 +0000 FannyMae 2371946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looks like we have gotten to the end of our month already, how quick did it pass? Are there any other November due date board mums that are yet to have their babies? If there are, wishing you all the best :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2371841 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 22:11:20 +0000 AggieDaze 2371841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hoots: so precious! Jealous of your delivery photographer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2371808 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 21:14:10 +0000 wrkbrk 2371808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hoots: Oh she is SO cute! Congratulations!!!! So excited for all of our mamas this month! It makes me happy. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2371727 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 18:25:46 +0000 Hoots 2371727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: I'm thinking it might be a sign that she's going to be a bit of a stubborn one and want to do things her own way. She already is that way about nursing. The lactation cosultant tried to correct her latch a bit and every time she did, DD would just quit nursing altogether. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2371713 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 18:01:01 +0000 FannyMae 2371713@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hello baby girl! Oh so cuuute!! Cheeky posterior babies, by girl caused me grief too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2371663 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 15:41:40 +0000 peaches1038 2371663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hoots: that's an awesome package!! I wish we had done something like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2371650 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 15:01:08 +0000 Hoots 2371650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: We did! I bought a package back in May that covered maternity, birth, newborn, and milestones. It seemed like a really reasonable price and I loved her work. DH loves to take photos but is never in any, so we wanted to make sure tht he was. It was actually kind of lucky DD was sunny side up because the photographer almost didn't make it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2371611 Sat, 28 Nov 2015 13:19:51 +0000 Miss Sarah 2371611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Hoots: Congratulations!

Laura Jane was born the morning of 11/25 and about 9 hours after my water broke. I was able to get an epidural just in time (they put in the order shortly after I got there and it was placed asap). Extremely glad I made the call for one early as things went quickly and even with the epidural on I had back labor from her position. DD arrived "sunny side up" after 2.5 hours of pushing and weighed in at 6lbs 0oz. We are still in awe that she's here and ours:</p> <p>[attach=5138/15/nyjc88.400x600.image.jpeg]</p> <p>[attach=5138/15/nyjc89.382x600.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2370946 Fri, 27 Nov 2015 06:37:51 +0000 wrkbrk 2370946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Haha thank you!

Very descriptive explanation of your birth story. I laughted at the 'honey' in your underwear. Hope you guys are settling in ok! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368959 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 05:49:10 +0000 wrkbrk 2368959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@peaches1038: PS we were going to wait on the paci for a few weeks but when he sqwaked the first nine hours of his life I decided to go ahead and try one ;) He's never loved something more haha. The only problem is, it falls out of his mouth about 3 times an hour and we have to replace it :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368957 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 05:46:19 +0000 wrkbrk 2368957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Sarah: @peaches1038: @AggieDaze: @Finfan: Thank you all! I'm happy I finally had this baby so I had a story to post, haha! Looking forward to getting home and settled and chatting on our post partum board. Especially when my milk comes in bc I anticipate that will be ... Challenging ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368949 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 04:20:23 +0000 Finfan 2368949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wrkbrk: Awww!

At about 6:00 am I lost my mucus plug (which btw looked essentially like I poured a container of honey in my underwear!). Soon after I started experiencing timeable contractions! So I sat at home with DW and the dogs until they were 5 minutes apart then we went to the hospital. </p> <p>Once we were checked into a room I asked for the epidural to at least be requested in case it took awhile (ended up that it did because of some backup on lab work). While waiting my contractions got a lot worse quickly and suddenly during a terrible one my water broke in the hospital bed! It was absolutely crazy - a HUGE gush of hot water in the bed. And - it was green so I knew it had meconium :( We worried about that but the nurse said all it means was that she would call a NICU team to be present at the birth just in case.</p> <p>To make a long story short, I got my epi and all was wonderful immediately. I had a perfect and very fortunate experience with it. I watched friends and drank juice for about 6 hours until it was time to push! I pushed for 15 minutes and the nurse told me to stop bc my OB was on his way and she didn't want the baby here before him!!</p> <p>By this time it was about 11:30 pm. My doctor arrived and within two contractions the baby was out!! It was amazing. I got a second degree tear and two smaller tears but I didn't feel any pain. DW cut the cord and luckily, the baby had not inhaled any meconium.</p> <p>Cooper was big - 8 lbs, 8 ounces, and 21 inches! With a head of dark hair we were not expecting! We've had a really good day and a half in the hospital and are looking forward to going home tomorrow!</p> <p>We feel extremely fortunate for this kind of positive birth experience and for our sweet boy!</p> <p>[attach=5342/15/nycwv6.450x600.image.jpeg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368910 Wed, 25 Nov 2015 00:54:33 +0000 wrkbrk 2368910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: Glad to hear you got through that ok and you and your baby are safe!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368840 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 21:49:44 +0000 peaches1038 2368840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: glad to hear you are doing ok now! I love her name :) my milk came in on day four and really helped my little guy's jaundice. We spent a lot of time tickling his feet to keep him awake while eating too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368798 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 20:42:20 +0000 clover 2368798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: Congratulations! I'm sure the jaundice will get better quickly, especially once your milk comes in (we supplemented when DS had it, anything to get baby healthy). Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368774 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 20:28:27 +0000 Hoots 2368774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: Congratulations! I'm glad you're both doing okay after what sounds like a scary experience. </p> <p>No baby here yet. :bummed: Trying to be patient but failing. I'm scheduled for an induction on December 1 if s/he decides not to show by then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368755 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 20:18:27 +0000 FannyMae 2368755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>also we named her after our mothers :grin: first name is Estelle, MIL is shorter version - she was over the moon and back. Middle name is a shorter version of my mums name :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368752 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 20:15:22 +0000 FannyMae 2368752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies, I'm so relieved and grateful that she is here safely, now on to the next hurdle. Jaundice has just come up, blood test for her levels is done and waiting on results. She is barely eating at all, extremely sleepy. Once numbers are in we move on to treatment most likely lights and top ups </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368725 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 19:31:54 +0000 Miss Sarah 2368725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: Congratulations to you! My milk came in Day 4/5, you're almost there! Hope things settle down for you soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368662 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 18:11:55 +0000 sometimesshesings 2368662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FannyMae: Oh my goodness, sounds like you've been through the ringer! I'm so glad to hear you and your new daughter are doing well now. Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/november-2015-labor-and-delivery/page/3#post-2368603 Tue, 24 Nov 2015 17:22:38 +0000 FannyMae 2368603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Delay in posting here, baby girl born Monday 23rd at 6.21 pm - 7 pounds 11, was induced, failed epidural which ended up numbing me up to my chest, vacuum delivery of posterior baby. Both doing much better now but it was pretty a pretty scary experience with the epi turning me into a complete dead weight and my blood pressure dropping. Day 3 here, getting a bit hectic with unsettled gassy and mucous baby and waiting for milk to come in. </p>
