Hi all!
My baby girl has finally arrived. I was scheduled for a c-section yesterday morning (June 7th) but ended up going into labour on my own on Tuesday night (June 5th).
Here's my birth story... On Tuesday, I was feeling fine all day until about 5pm. Then at 5p my stomach started to hurt. At 5:30 contractions began. They were 30 seconds long and a minute and a half apart right away. So when my DH came home from work, I called L&D. Because I was scheduled in for a C/S on Thurs and my contractions were so close together they told me to come in right away. When my mom got to my house, I ran around in between contractions getting my stuff together. Then we got in the car and went to the hospital. We got there at seven pm. The contractions were getting stronger so they got me in a bed and hooked me up. The contractions were getting super strong (I was in so much pain, screaming at one point) so they admitted me, and had me in the OR by 9:30p. My beautiful little girl was born at 10:23pm on Tuesday June 5th 2012. Her name is Paisley, 8lbs 8oz and 20.83 inches.
My recovery is radically different this time. With my DS, I did not progress past 4 cm after 30 hours so by the time I had the C-section I was exhausted. I am feeling great this time. The hospital discharged me yesterday.
