Supposed to have version attempt number 2 at 8 AM this morning but now it looks like that will just be an U/S. My water just broke rather dramatically in bed so baby will be making an appearance sometime soon. They told me to come in at 8 unless I start contracting and we will take it from there. So everything crossed she is head down but either way I am fine and its baby day!! Can't wait to meet her!!!!
Update: Ki.ra Eliz.abeth was born at 10:05 AM. She is 19 inches long and 6 lbs 4 oz.
Tl/dr: baby born via c-section after my water broke because she was breech
Long version:
My water broke at 5 AM. They were going to let me wait until 8 AM to come in which was when my U/S appt for the second version was to check her unless I started contracting. Well I started contracting about 20 minutes later. We got to the hospital around 7 and my contractions were about 6 minutes apart and I was 3 cm dilated. Unfortunately she was still breech with her head on the left where the MFM had left it the week before. He came and said hi, and was super nice. I got to "cut the line" for the C sections since I was in active labor and my water had broken. By the time they got me in the OR the contractions were 3-4 min apart and things were moving rather quickly.
They were great about trying to make it feel not so medical. They did the clear drape so we could see when she actually came out, our doula got to be in the OR with us. We got to do skin to skin for about 10 min in the OR. But I was having some serious shaking and minor BP issues from the spinal so I couldn't do it longer. H got to hold her the rest of the time we were in the OR. They helped me BF her as soon as we got to recovery and she latched like a champ and has been feeding really well. We are in post partum now and I feel pretty good right now. By far the worse part of the C was the spinal, I felt like I was just shaking uncontrollably for 2 hours straight. Other than that it was really not scary and better than I thought it would be. And also right now I super don't care that I didn't get the delivery I wanted because I got the grand prize. We are so in love and she is a great baby so far and so tiny and perfect!!!
Now for the good stuff:
Will take some better ones later and post!
