Baby boy was born 10/16 at 7:11 p.m. His initials are CJ and he was a tiny 5lbs 7oz at a day overdue.
Contractions started at 3am Friday, I knew it could be early labor and be nothing. I had a BPP and NST at 9:30 so I went in and baby boy failed both. Fluid was down to 2.3. Contractions pretty much stopped during the visit. The OB checked me and I was at 3-4cm and 90% effaced. She did a membrane sweep since she wanted him out, but would still let me try a VBAC.
I was told to go in to the hospital in the next few hours. I went and walk around thr grocery store, then went home to eat and pack. We got to the hospital at 3pm and I was in active labor and up to 5 cm by the time they checked me. They wanted me to start pitocin, but I asked to hold off an hour. She swept me again. Things started really progressing. I gave up on med free and asked for an EPI, which didn't work. They check me an and I got up 8 cm in an hour. In that time I also started bleeding, but was doing OK. They decided to replace the EPI. The second one worked, but we lost baby boys heart beat during the procedure. They threw an monitor on him quickly and got a low heartbeat.
They then rushed us to the OR and said if we could get his heartbeat on the way that I could VBAC there. They got it to come up, but not enough. When they cut me open a bunch of blood gushed out. I had a placenta abruption which happened a while ago. It led to his low birth weight and low amniotic fluid. We are lucky to both be healthy and get to go home today!
