After a 24 hour labor, mini DSB is here. He is 8 lbs, 12 oz and 21.5 inches long. I labored for 21 of those at home. Spent over an hour in triage during a shift change and a little over an hour in the delivery room. I got in the tub and was having water sprayed on my back when my water broke. I had a few more contractions trying to get out of the tub, got into the delivery bed, started telling everyone that I couldn't do it, over and over again, they told me to try pushing, and he was here in two pushes. One for the head and one for the shoulders. Once my water broke, it all just happened so fast, it's a blur.
I was trying to go med free so I'm happy it went so fast, I don't know how I would have done it otherwise.
I'm feeling pretty good right now, my only complaint is that it feels like my lungs are falling into my abdomen when I stand up to go to the bathroom. I do t remember that with my first.
Congratulations! I can't believe you labored that long at home but so glad you got to have a med free birth and he came out so quick! Enjoy your squish!
Congrats!! I had the same "lungs falling" feeling this time too that I don't remember from my first. It went away after a day or so. Enjoy those baby snuggles!!
