I'M BACK! MY BIRTH STORY.....

Original post by NuBride

First of all I just want to say thank you for all the well wishers that were sent. Mia Cynthia was born on July 22nd at 8:34 p.m. and weighed in at 8 pounds 3 onces.

I had a scheduled induction that day and at 9:45 am they started me on the pitocin, by 12 noon I had my epidural (gotta love those drugs) by, 2:45 p.m. I was 8 centimeters dialated and was getting very excited about how fast I thought she was coming......well she stopped coming and moved BACK UP!!! I couldn't believe it...me, my doctor and Brian was so disappointed because we were hoping to have a ******l birth...at around 7:00 p.m. the decision for a c-section was made and an hour and a half later Mia was here....she is perfect!!! I can't explain the love you feel , it's amazing!

I have to say for all the ladies that did c-sections...one word OUCH!!!! I can't believe the pain I was in, I was so out of it, I couldn't walk, sneeze, laugh, speak in a loud voice, I felt totally helpless with her the first few days in the hospital. I breastfed her immediately and she did latch on, however she torn my breast up pretty bad and I was a crying mess....so now I am just pumping and also alternating formula and it seems to be working. Brian gets to feed her too!

I don't know if any of you ladies got a touch of the post partum but I sure did, yesterday was the first day I haven't sobbed since she was born, I sobbed for everything!!! I'm feeling better now and I'm enjoying her so much, I can't believe how much I love her!

Thanks for all your support and I'll check in soon!

Congratulations!!! Love the name Mia Cynthia. Glad to hear all is going well & that you're feeling better. Some hugs for you ....

Funny about the name Mia ... we've taken to calling our peanut Mia (for Mia Hamm) b/c she's (not that I know its a she, mind you!) ... quite a soccer player in my belly!

Camille, WELCOME BACK AND CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you and I can't wait to see the pictures of little Mia!!!!

I'm sorry you had a tough time afterwards! My friend suffered from post-partum afterwards too. Don't worry, it's normal!

Give that precious bundle of joy a kiss and enjoy each and every moment of her!!!!
