Baby Finally Born

Lori

I went into pre-term labor at 30 weeks. I had to stay in the hospital on bedrest for four weeks. It was the toughest four weeks of my life because I had a 14 month old baby girl at home who I missed and who missed me. After I was released I had zero signs of labor for the next four weeks and 3 days. Yesterday, contractions just started up again out of no where. I literally did nothing to start them. She was born today at 4:12pm. I had an epidural but it wore off 30 minutes before I had to start pushing. I felt literally everything but she was worth it.

She weighed 7 pounds and 9 oz. At my 37 week appointment my doctor wanted me to get an elective c-section because she weighed “7 pounds and 12oz” and would weigh over 9 at birth. Just shows how the ultrasounds can be off since she weighed less than they thought she did a week ago.
