Our second bundle of joy arrived today, Feb 21st at 3:27 AM!!

So I was admitted at 4-5 cm but wasn't making much progress.. But since there was a storm in the way, doc asked to stay back n see.. At about 2 AM contractions were still irregular so they broke my water bag.. And the REAL contractions came through..

I was still 5 cm, was asked if I needed epidural.. I wanted to try hot water tub instead.. 15 mins in hot tub and my pain turns unbearable and got the urge to push.. 5 mins later I was completely dilated, started pushing, 7 pushes later I was holding my precious little one!!

So that's one another tried n tested method, if you can use hot tub, go for it!!

the little guy was shy of 3 days to 37 weeks.. But he weighs appropriate for his gestation.. Initial latching n learning going on..

Good luck to you all March mommies, from a Feb mommy!!

Birth Story

Emily -rose , 7.30lbs 20'in (VBAC)

I went for regular visit to my doc office 37+4 weeks , doc checked and sd 6cm and we should be having the baby today , checked into L&D , doc asked me if I want to try VBAC and read all dangers and signed consent.

Doc broke my water and sd we will try to get contractions started if not we will start pit... I sd ok it was 5.45pm, and he sd if I want epi it would take 45min so they started ivs , I declined epi. In the mean while I was waiting for my DH to get the DS to sitter and things did not turn out the way we wanted and my 3yr old ended up being in my L&D room, DH walked in and I was screaming with pain and contractions , I sd nurse I will take epi...so they checked again she sd no time for epi baby is coming out let's push.

This is when the panic set in , I was in so much pain but the doctor and nurses were so encouraging , I would feel the ring of fire it was fire omg , just 3 pushes and she was out , I really could not believe I did it , got second degree tear, 45min start to finish .

TIP: I just surrendered my self to the pain moment I realized I'm not getting any pain meds, and let my body do the talking and it just took over.

Rohini,

Congrats !!!!
I was waiting for your updates. How many weeks were you?
Did you name your son already?

Please tell me about that hot water tub birth.. I've heard and read but none of my friends delivered by that method.. Am surprised you co-operated without epi..

Happy motherhood

Thanks Anitha, sorry if I confused you; I didn't deliver in the water, I just used it for pain relief!

we have the name already, but waiting for the punyajanam to announce it officially..
