heyden's birth

Well I have to say that my heyden's birth is something I will never forget.

It was the middle of the night and I was wide awake dealing with contractions they were 20 min apart so I wasn't worried. Anyway tristain (hubby) had woken up because of all the movement. Also at the time we were living with his parents and his father was a gynocoligist so he wanted to deliver the baby which was so awkward but oh well.

Anyway we lay there for w while timing even though it was pointless but tristain was worried so we did. It got to a point where I couldn't sit still and I needed to pee so I got tris to help me and we moved to the bathroom. Suddenly I got this huge pain it almost knocked me over luckily tris was holding me then straight after my waters broke. I reckon I almost colapsed in shock as this was my first child. I started crying so tris helped me clean myself up before running to get his father. His father did an exam and revealed that I was 4 cm he then told me that I should try get some sleep.

At the time this seemed like an impossible feat so we lay there while tris rubbed my tummy finally he realised that this was getting to hard to deal with and asked me what I wanted to do so we ended up walking around the bedroom about 2 hours later I colapsed on the floor I had no strength left in me by that time tris was freaking out and I was in tears we then lay togeather on the floor for an hour till tris father came in to check on me he told me that when I felt like I should push to do so. We decided to go downstairs where all the equipment was and get ready for the birth they had already set up one of those beds with stirups I think that's what they call them so tris helped me up and she sat bekind me with pillows and a hot pack on my lower back it felt so nice with him there holding me verry comforting anyway the contractions got so bad and soon came time to push tris held my tummy with one hand and held my hand with the other and I started to push it hurt so badly but it didn't work so we moved to a squating position tris got down on one knee and I sat on his leg this worked so much better and in a few big pushes our beautifull baby boy graced us with his presence

Mommy At 16

Hello,
My name is Kristian I am 17 years old.
I got pregnant at 16 and had my son at 16.
Here is my delivery story...


My son was due sep 14, 20008... On Sep 12th I went to go take a nap as I was not feeling well, I had been asleep for 3 hours when my mom came ti wake me up to see if I was feeling better, I got up to go to the bathroom I was bleeding so my mom took me to the hospital they checked me and I was still 1cm dialated like I was for 2 weeks... They told me to go home eat something and take a warm bath so I went home and got in the bath.
As I got out of the bath I noticed something dripping down, I thought I peed myself I started calling my mom to come here, she came into the bathroom and scremed your water just broke. Right when she said that I broke down in tears as I was getting dressed.
I got dressed then called my son's father to let him know my water broke and I was on my way to the hospital.
I got in the truck as we drove to the hospital all I could think about was pushing my son out and how much it would hurt, I got to the hospital stepped out of the truck and I felt a gush my water broke the rest of the way I breoke down in tears again my mom got a wheel chair and took me to labor and delivery floor, when I got in there the lady said "back so soon" my mom said "her water broke"
They took me in a room and checked to make sure it was my water for sure my water broke. They checked me again and I was 3cm dialated.
They told me to get some sleep and that if I did not progress by 6am I would get petocin, So at 5 am I still had not progressed allot I was 8cm dialated, so they gave me petocin.

They had to keep upping the dose, after about 3 hours *8am* they checked me again and I had only dialated to 9cm, I was having horrible contractions so they asked if I would like pain meds, I told them I was not ready for them yet but when I was that I wanted an epidural.
At about 10am they gave me the epidural I felt so good, I fell back asleep and work up because I hear them saying m son's heart beat was faiding away, They gave me oxygen and had me move on my side to see if it would bring up his heart beat and mine, It didn't so they said I would be having an emergency C- section.
As heard as they said that the room got really hot i didnt know what to do, they put two fans on me and about 10 minutes later took me into the c- section room, when I got in there I got really cold and was shaking they had to tie my hands down so that I was not moving.
My mom was sitting next to me telling me everything was okay and that I would have my baby boy soon, Then the doctor said you will feel allot of pressure when we pull him out all of a sudden I heard a cry it was my baby!! they cleaned him up and handed him to my mom to show me, I couldn't cry I kissed him and said "mommy loves you baby'
My baby boy was born at 1:22pm he weighed 7lbs 9oz 21inches

my mom left the room with my son as they stapled me up and got me cleaned up after they took me to a recovery room, everyone came in to see me I was shaking bad which scared my son's father.
About an hour later I was able to go to my room, before I got there though they took me by the nursery to see my son, I started crying he had so much hair and at that moment I just wanted to lay there all day with my son.

they took me to my room and later on brought my son to me,.

My son is not almost 4 months old, and even though things get hard at times I would not change it for the world my son is my heart and means the world to me!

Miserable Pregnancy, Wonderful Birth!

I was pregnant with my second baby. My first pregnancy was so easy! I sailed through it, happy, no aches, no pains, I loved it. But then I had a bad delivery. I didn't know what to expect this second time around.

It turns out I wasn't going to have that happy pregnancy again. I luckily didn't have any complications, but I was miserable about mid-pregnancy. I was falling asleep at work, it was hard to get around, I couldn't get out of bed. I didn't even gain 20 pounds with this one, why was this so difficult??? I could never get comfortable at night and constantly had a pinched nerve from my waist, down my butt, and down my right leg. My back also constantly hurt. The last two weeks were the worst. I ended up calling in sick to work the very last week. I had braxton hicks contractions and was completely miserable.

Determined to put myself into labor, I took things in my own hands. Nothing dangerous, I just was "ready". I woke up one morning, and rubbed my nipples for about 30 minutes. My husband even helped. I have heard this is the number one way to put yourself in labor and my nurse later agreed. She even said some pregnant women go into labor early if they are breastfeeding an older baby from the stimulation. So it was worth a try, right? Then, since our toddler was still sleeping, I (almost 9 months preggo) told my husband, "Let's have sex one last time." He was all for it, I just couldn't wait for it to be over with. Luckily that didn't take long. I was imagining those little sperm loosening up my cervix at that very moment.

Not to be dissapointed, I said, "Hey, let's do something. Let's go to the NASA Johnson Space Center!" It was within walking distance from our apartment, but I wasn't about to walk there in the July heat. (Yeah, yeah, I was desperate but I wasn't asking for a heat stroke!) So we drove to the space center, and I ended up chasing my toddler around most of the day. We did a lot of walking, and rode a tram around the space center to tour different areas. I made sure we rode in the very back, it was so bouncy back there! I was sitting next to a woman who asked when I was due. I told her 8 days, but that we were going to have this baby tonight!

When we got home that afternoon, I was exhausted! We went to bed as normal, and I woke up about 2:00 in the morning. I had a dream that my water had broken. Hee hee, I laughed a little and reached down to see if the sheets were wet, just in case. Aww, no such luck. Darn! I decided to get up for my bathroom break anyway. As soon as I went to sit down on the toilet, voila! It happened, my water broke! Thank you God, it is time! Woo hoo, the waiting game is over!!! Come on honey, let's go!

The neigbor came over to stay with our toddler and off we went. Everything looked good on the monitors, I had a great nurse, things were off to a good start. Then she asked if I wanted an enema. I didn't have one with my first son, because I had taken a good relief that day. I didn't do that this time so I decided to give it a try. What in the world was I thinking? Why hadn't anyone warned me about these??? I was in so much pain from the cramping, and I couldn't get back to my bed before I had to run back to the toilet. And the I.V. stand couldn't roll into the bathroom, I kind of had to pick it up and put it over that threshold, what a pain in the ass! (No pun intended!) Oh, where was my beloved husband? Oh yeah, he was snoring on that little bitty couch. I was in this one alone. I finally got that out of the way, but I can promise you I will never do that again. I would rather just poop on the table next time, much less pain there.

Once the enema was accomplished, I was ready for my epidural. That went as planned and I ended up calling some of my friends and family and saying some pretty funny stuff. I don't remember feeling this good the last time around, where can I get more of that stuff? It wore off pretty quickly, I was told it was what they give you at the very beginning that gives you that wonderful feeling.

My doctor showed up about 8:00 in the morning and asked when I thought this baby would be here. He was betting he would be born before noon. I got a good laugh out of that. My first labor was 17 1/2 hours, and I know your second is usually shorter, but come on, my luck wouldn't be that good. I told him I thought it would be around 1:00 or 2:00. He said he would see me soon!

Only an hour and a half later, I felt pretty ready. I called the nurse and had her check me, yes, I was 9 centimeters. What? That quick? They were getting my room ready when my mom showed up. But where was my husband? He was taking our son to the daycare ladies house, we thought he would have to be there all day and we also thought he had plenty of time to do that. We were wrong.

He showed up at 10:30. There we all were (I wasn't waiting on him, he just got "lucky"). My doctor said we were about to start pushing. I hadn't slept any, but I was ready, let's do this! Here comes a contraction, I pushed, oh wow, here he comes! He told me to stop and wait for the next contraction. Here came the next one, pushhhh, out popped his head, then came the rest of him! What an accomplishment, so different than my first baby boy. They laid my new beautiful baby boy in my arms while my husband cut the cord. This was one of those births you see on television, this was perfect! He was perfect! I immediately brought him to my breast, he took an interest, he was going to be a good eater, I just knew it. They took him and weighed him and cleaned him up some more. My 7 pound, 6.8 ounce boy was then handed back to me. I brought him to my breast again, he latched right on, thank you God! Thank you for my little miracle!

Carson Dean is now 3 1/2 months, over 15 pounds, exclusivly nursing, and still a dream. Big brother Mason Lynn just loves his baby brother, no sibling rivalry yet! Oh, I hear someone calling me, time to go feed the baby!

rough times

I went into labor with my son on sept 11 2007 he was 8lbs 11oz. now i did have a few problems when i got in there it took forever for my contractions to start they gave me all different types of medications to help but nothing seem to be working then they decided to check and see if i was progressing in my labor and they waited about 4 hours in between the time and i never did show and improvments so they decided to give mea c section and thats when they found out that my baby was just stuck there was nothing wrong with him and that made my world a whole lot better to know that my little boy was alright.
