I pushed for almost 3 hours before I had a c-section so LO's head was a little smushed!
-
My oldest was breech so the top of his head was flatter than it should have been b/c I guess I squashed it while he was in utero. I didn't notice that until he was a little older and compared pictures. They all pop back in shape!
-
Yeah, he had a cone head from coming thru the birth canal.
-
Nope..she came out so fast that her head was a normal shape. And huge. She did some damage!
-
Yes...cone head! He had to be vacuumed out and was sunny side up. We're still doing PT because he developed torticollis and his flat spot was a little worse than normal.
-
Yeah cone head! She has a beautiful shaped head now though! All the Korean ajummas go crazy over it
-
She had a crazy cone head for the first day. She was posterior and hard to squeeze out.
-
Nope, she had a perfectly shaped head! I attribute that to our awesome midwife who let me labour down for 2 hrs before starting to push. It also took less than an hour to push her out (and only 5 or 6 contractions as they had slowed way down at that point) and we went from seeing about an inch of her head to a full baby out in one big push - she was in a hurry! On the plus side - a lovely shaped head for her, on the downside - a nice 2nd degree tear for me!
-
@lydg: my DS, too - vacuum & sunny side up.
He had a giant hematoma on the back of his head like a big bloody water balloon. My mom was traumatized. It went down within a week but his newborn photos make me cry
-
I only pushed for an hour, her head was normal and round.
-
i pushed for 3 hours before my c section with charlie and he definitely had a cone head. i pushed for 40 min with olive and she had a perfect head!
-
Cone head with both but not as bad with #2..
-
Sure was, I pushed for two hours and Baby was a ventouse delivery so she had a wicked head shape going on.
Baby also lost all the skin of the back of her head where the cup was suctioned on and she was really ragey and uncomfortable for her first week of life - poor Bubba!
-
I pushed for around 3 hours and was pleasantly surprised that she did not have a cone head!
-
Very coneheaded, with a huge hematoma. He still has a small bump where the hematoma was, but it doesn't show much now that he has more hair.
-
I only pushed for 20 minutes... her head was ridiculously perfect. It's still a nice shape at 6 months old, but huge : )
-
My oldest had a cone head but the baby had a perfectly shaped head. That's the difference on one hour pushing vs two minutes.
-
I think you get one of the other -- baby has misshapen head, or your lady parts get ripped to pieces. (That's assuming a natural birth.) My baby had a beautiful round head due to a fast birth, but I was a whole different story...
-
His head was a bit misshapen...pushed 2 hours and he was posterior. It seems like it rounded out really fast, though.
-
Nope, perfectly round and tiny. Only pushed for an hour.
-
2 hours of pushing = hilarious baby conehead.
-
yep! but only for a day
-
@skibobrown: not true for us - between the giant episiotomy and the vacuum on his head, we were both pretty mangled. I think I fall into the "should've been a csection" category...
-
Yup. I only pushed for 20 minutes, but he had a golf ball sized lump on the back of his head. It went away within a few hours.
