Just checking in to see how the July
Mommies are doing and wow, lots if June babies! Congratulations!!!! And hope the rest of the July
Mommies have an easy labor and delivery!

Cristiano is 2 weeks old today and we finally get to enjoy him. The first week and a half we had almost daily check up/ blood draws to check his bilirubin levels which kept increasing. He had to have an overnight stay last fri- sat under the Bili lights and an iv. He has
Breast milk jaundice so I had to give him formula during his hospital stay. Now he won't latch! I'm pumping and getting enough for bottles but going to try nipple shields and see if they help.

Had my Week 38 appointment today and the baby is still very high. He even had me make the 40 week sono to see the growth of the baby. Hopefully she decides to come sooner!

***OFFICIAL JULY 2015 BABIES THREAD***

Had my 36 week sono and appt. she turned so she's head down now and her head is in position! I'm so happy she's not breech anymore! She's approx 6 lbs 3 oz so im curious what she'll weigh at birth! I am almost a cm dilated but still pretty high. He thinks shell Prob come around when I had my son which was 38 weeks!! Can't believe it's almost here!

Re: ***OFFICIAL JULY 2015 BABIES THREAD***

Congrats to all the ladies who became mamas already!!! So exciting!!! I can't wait to hear more baby news.

I had my 38 week appt yesterday. Not dialated or effaced but dr could feel her head during my internal so she's ready. As long as she doesn't come this week, i will be induced on Monday night or tuesday morning. I am so ready to meet this baby girl!!!!

Hope everyone is feeling good :)

Oh and tomorrow is JULY!!!! yay

***OFFICIAL JULY 2015 BABIES THREAD***

Glad to see everyone is doing well! My baby girl, Alexis Danielle was born at 10:25pm on June 27th! My dr started to induce me the night before due to me having mild preeclampsia and it was a long 24 hours but she's here now and doing great!! Today was our first full day home and we had a great one! She's already the love of my life!! Congrats to all the other July mommies who had their babies in June and good luck to everyone else, I hope you all have easy and quick labors!!

DD2 is here! She arrived this morning at 1:57am.

Long birth story, but it involves an induction, broken epidural tubing that nobody believed me and then finally saw it was broke and fixed it, then the epidural wearing off just in time to push. Wow, I was one of those crazy cursing woman in the movies. BUT dd came with only a few big pushes and in under 10 minutes! Guess it's true what they say about a second labor.

Dd1 met her today and I now know your heart truly does expand when you have another dc. We're in love.

oh wow! congratulations!! so exciting to hear! Please tell us your birth story when you get a chance. It is so wonderful having kids so close in age. My dd and my ds are also very close in age...they are are 2 years 2 days apart and it is so great watching them play together.

Congrats again!!!!

Thanks! My girls are 2 years, 4 days apart

Ok, here it goes. As to the point as I can...

Went for routine dr appt Tuesday morning. Thankfully dh came with me. We were in two separate cars bc he was going to the train station to go to the city for work after. I mentioned decreased fetal movement. Dr sent me to hospital straight away to be monitored. Dh took dd home and got coverage for her. Monitoring came out fine. My dr said for peace of mind for me since I wasn't getting the reassurance from movement just stay for induction. At 39 weeks (the next day) I was full term anyway.

I was scared of getting induced early and having it end in a csection and how the baby would react and forcing her out etc. well I was 38w6d and since the monitoring was fine we didn't have a medical reason to induce prior to 39 weeks. I was in the hospital all day Tuesday in limbo. Am I staying? Am I going and coming back? Final decision was start cervadil at midnight so I would be exactly 39 weeks.

July 1 into july 2nd- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
12am. Started cervadil. 1cm and 50% effaced. Baby EXTREMELY low. Like her head was right there
12pm. Took cervadil out. Still 1cm and now 75-80% effaced
They let me eat lunch. Woo hoooo
3pm started Pitocin
530pm 3cm, still 75-80% effaced
6pm got epidural. Felt amazing!!!
630pm epidural wore off and I felt like I never had it. Tried to tell anesthesiologist and he said its normal. I shouldnt be completely numb, blah blah blah. I knew something was right but was made to feel like I didn't know what I was talking about. Dh even noticed a puddle by the epidural machine, they looked and said it was impossible for it to be coming from the machine. I had an epidural with dd1 so I knew. I dropped it.
1030pm. 5cm. I finally said something again. Dh noticed another puddle under the machine. Now I'm adament that I'm not wrong. Something isn't right. Low and behold guess what. There's a f'ing tear in the tubing and the epidural was leaking onto the floor the whole time and not getting to me!!! Validation at last and they fixed it. Felt great again.
1145pm 6cm, dr broke my water. I knew it was going to rapidly excel things.
1230am 7cm
140am-ish I had my eyes closed and all of a sudden jolted awake, screamed to dh get up we need the nurse ASAP. She was coming. She was so close and far down I thought she was going to fall out. Epidural wore off and I couldn't get a boost bc I was about to push. Got the dr in, I was fully dilated. Got the table of tools, etc etc etc all ready. They kept telling me not to push. They were still prepping the room. It felt like an eternity. All I wanted to do was push.
Finally got to push and really only pushed through 3 contractions with a few really good pushes and dd2 was out! Literally under 10 minutes. I felt everything tho and was screaming like a crazy person. Once dd came out it all went away. She was born at 1:57am

Re: ***OFFICIAL JULY 2015 BABIES THREAD***

Re: ***OFFICIAL JULY 2015 BABIES THREAD***

Yes I have a ds already...I pushed 5x for him and only 1x this time. It was crazy. I went from 6cm to fully dilated in 2 minutes and she just flew out... Dr wasn't even ready, they caught her on her way out.
