When did you deliver each of your kids and how much did they weigh?

Question

I’m currently pregnant with baby #5 and just found out my doctor will be gone for two weeks around the time I typically deliver. I’ve never had my own doctor deliver but being so high risk I’m really stressed out about it. I had an irritable uterus with my last two pregnancies and dilated to 7 cm for a week before actual labor and labor ended up being 53 mins from start to finish and I have a feeling my concerns won’t be heard with whatever random doctor I see at the hospital. My last deliver was so scary and beyond painful and knowing now how dangerous it is to deliver that fast I was hoping to monitored more. I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and already had the contractions start up and 2 cm dilated and 75 percent effaced. I’m basically hoping for a positive story about making it to your due date even if you delivered the rest of your babies early.

Answer

My daughter was premature. Lost my mucus plug at 28 weeks, had a hospital stay for preterm labor at 32 weeks, had shots to stop labor and speed up her lungs, had PROM at 36 weeks and she was breech so it became an emergency c-section, she weighed 7lbs 10oz (my husband and I have tall genes they thought she’d be 10lbs at term lol).
Second baby was just delivered via induction VBAC (due to medical issues for me and baby). I no meds other than the oxytocin at 40 weeks and 4 days and delivered the same day to an 8lb 9oz baby. I guess some don’t want to budge because I stayed 2cm dilated 80% effaced for the past 4 weeks. Needed a little nudge was all, good luck mama!

Answer

#1 - 39w4d 7lbs 5oz
#2 - 38w6d 7lbs 10.5oz
#3 - 38w6d 6lbs 4oz (had a placental abruption in labor and I'm pretty sure he wasn't 38 weeks, my OB at the time decided 2 weeks between my LMP and ultrasound date was close enough, but whatever... He's 10 now.)
#4 - 39w0d 6lbs 11oz
#5 - 40w3d 7lbs 8oz (first angel baby born with undiagnosed CDH, which effects lung growth, which is why she went over her due date)
#6 - 39w2d 7lbs 6oz (scheduled c-section because she was stubborn and wanted to enter the world feet first)

Answer

1st - Sept 2018 at 41 and 6 he was 11 lbs 1 ounce, he was delivered by c section even though I went into labor the day of my scheduled c section (bc they estimated his size on ultrasound “13 lbs 6 oz”). 
2nd - August 2020 at 38 weeks, he was 11 lbs and 2 oz - also delivered by c section (bc they “estimated he was 12 lbs 4 oz”).
I had polyhydraminos with both and tested negative for gestational diabetes (3x tested with my 2nd, including A1C). We have no clue why our boys are giant but I’m done bc they have torn me up.

Answer

1st born Feb 2010 the day before her due date. Went in labor/ lost mucus plug at midnight...in the middle of a blizzard finally made it to hospital at 7CM...After 15.5hrs of active labor needed emergency c-section. Born a little after 6pm Super Bowl Sunday, right after kick off.
2nd Jan 2018, was trying for VBAC & after my due date passed with no sign of labor & not even 1cm only 50% thinned. Membranes sweep & cervix stretched a fee times then  scheduled induction at 40wks+3days...8hrs of pitocin & still barley past the 1cm mark. Baby was in distress so we went for another c-section. She was NOT coming anytime soon. Born a little after 8pm.
 Pregnant now, 16wks. Would like to try VBAC again but we'll see if it happens this time. Best of luck to u!
