sofia
Was born 12 hours ago (Feb. 23rd, 21:20pm). She weighted 8 pounds and
measured 20.5 inches (that is 3.6 kg and 52 cm). Problem was her head, 14" circumference.... her due date was Friday and Dr. decided to induce her Monday AM since I was so ready but when I called to go in Monday AM they said they were too busy and not to come yet... but then my contractions started getting regular and painful, so we ended at the hospital at noon... it progressed pretty well, with some help from pitocin, but then they slowed it down because I was getting a headache from pushing... she got stuck at 3 cm past my pelvic bone and Dr. decided to use vacuum (the other option was a C-section and I was not up for that after so many hours, even with the epidural and all!). Finally managed to pull her out with the vaccum pump but her cord got wrapped around her neck and while they were taking care of that I tore really bad (4th degree, for those that have read the books!) My mom ran out of the room crying her heart out, but I couldn't tell what had happened. Anyway, we are both fine....even with the cord her Apgar score was 7 and then 9 at 5 minutes. I guess I am going to be sore for a while but not yet. DH is really proud of me, by the way.... I did not scream or lose it.. and he was great, really supportive... -- Dr. Quilter Ambassador of Extraordinary Aliens http://community.webshots.com/user/mvignali (take the dog out before replying) |

I am so glad that baby and Mommy are ok. Whew what an ordeal you had to go
through. But, I am sure you are starting to forget most of that when you hold that little sweetie in your arms. Congratulations!!!! Jeanbaby "Dr. Quilter" wrote in message ...
