I'm thinking of you and your little one... thanks for the updates...
My own story to add... I have two girls...and they came in very different ways... I think it had more to do with their personalities than me...
My first at two weeks overdue had to be induced... We had no medical problems... but I really wanted to meet the baby to I elected for a C-Section, after trying petocin (sp) for 16+ hours with no progress. She was 8lbs, 6oz which I thought was big considering I'm a petite 5'2"
My second came 4 days after her due date. Totally naturally... Hospital Birth... all the nurses came to watch...said it had been a long time since they had seen a natural birth...and a couple wanted to see how the birthing bar was set up... My second was born with merconium next to her... luckily none in her. She was over 9 pounds and it was an easy birth. I only needed a few stitches, and didn't have any swelling. They kept us at the hospital an extra day because they were worried about her large size ?!?!?
When my kids see newborn babies they always ask was I that tiny?? I always laugh and say nope...you were never that tiny...
I myself was the premie that had to come out 2 months early at 2 pounds... My mother and father were at a sumo wrestling match when her water broke... my father wanted to stay and watch the rest of the match... but my mother got him to take her to the hospital somehow
I look forward to reading your birth story
