Introducing our baby girl!!
I've been meaning to a brief birth story, but was quite busy over the past week... My baby girl was born at 37.5 weeks after a successful induction. At my 37 week appointment my high risk saw the baby had symptoms of brain sparing, which is a common condition towards the end of the pregnancy where the baby is starting to shut down other organs to provide more oxygenation to the brain. Once that happens baby has about 7 days to be born or the condition worsens. So they decided that it's time to get the baby out to be on the safe side. So the next day I went in, got my Cervidil on and started the waiting game. It's a good thing I went in when I did since I already developed mild PreE. It wasn't my blood pressure alone anymore all the bloodwork came back irregular and there was some protein in the urine. Long story short, Cervidil did it's job, got the Pitocin and the epidural and went from 3 cm to fully dilated in a matter of a few hours. So fast that the epi didn't really have time to take and I was pushing without any :( but she came so quick that the pain didn't last long. I started pushing at around 3:10pm, and at 3:19 she was out! I had to go on magnesium though which was worse than the labor IMO but I don't want to scare anyone. It's over and done with and hopefully none of you will need to experience it. So without further ado I'm happy to introduce our tiny little miracle Ellinore (Ellie) Rose, born 4/17 weighing 5lbs10oz and 19" long (pics are in my album). I can't get enough of her and her brother is in love with her as well!
Happy and healthy pregnancies to y'all and easy peasy deliveries!!! Can't wait to see you all on the parenting board

Congrats. Love her name. And I agree, magnesium is the devil drug. Needed it for both deliveries.
