Lawyer&Mom Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Dd2 arrived last night at 34 weeks, six days. She weighs 6 pounds, 7 ounces and is 19.5 inches long. She's in the NICU with a CPAP to help her breathing, but otherwise seems healthy. (I went into labor without warning, so she didn't get the steroids.) Doctor was suggesting a VBAC, but she was breech, so that was ruled out. I have to say this c-section was so much easier than my first! Skipping the whole pushing thing is pretty great. Everything was so sudden, and I haven't held her yet, it doesn't quite seem real... 46 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinE Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Congratulations! I hope you get to hold her soon! As far as recovery, make sure you rest as much as you did with your first c-section. You'll probably feel less pain, but your body will still need that rest. I was so thrilled at the relative lack of pain, that I was going for walks and lifting things heavier than the baby the week after. Bad idea, a very bad idea. Sit on the couch, cuddle the baby, and ask for help with anything else. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Wow! I'm sorry she didn't wait around for your plans but it sounds like everything went very well. I hope her breathing improves and you can take her home soon! Now, where are our cute baby pictures, eh?! How is your recovery going? My c-section was pretty brutal the first few weeks, I hope they gave you plenty of the good stuff so you're in no pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

73349 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Congrats! DS was 34w5d and a little smaller than that, and we had him home in a week, but it was a little longer before he caught on to nursing--but he still caught up to average size by his 4-month check-up. Take it easy, like PPs have said, and don't overdo. And now on behalf of the Hive: We demand politely request a baby picture, in order that we may "Awww" in your general direction from all over the planet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
