Return.....

Lothwen · November 02, 2015, 08:17:31 AM

Hey everyone, I've decided to start posting on here again, at least intermittently.

There's been a lot of changes to my life since I was last on here. The biggest one is that I am now a mommy. My daughter was born via cesarean on Halloween. 9lbs 1 oz, and 21 inches long. Big baby, and my fiance and I couldn't be happier. We also can't wait to get out of the hospital, as we've been here since Wednesday night.......

Welcome back Lothwen. Great to have you here again on Royal Insight. What terrific news. A little girl, that's wonderful. Good that everything went fine. Have you decided on names?

Congrats on the birth of your daughter, Lothwen :) I hope everything went smoothly- c sections are pretty scary.

Congratulations Lothwen and hubby on the birth of your little girl. That is an impressive size so I can understand why you had a C-section. Please, please, please take it easy for the next 6-8 weeks so you can heal. Let everyone else pamper you and baby. Hope that everything goes well when you take her home.

Hey everyone,

I was induced at 39 weeks due to my gestational diabetes. Baby had been weighed in utero, and only weighed 7.5lbs. Anyways, we got to the hospital on Wednesday night, and they started trying to induce labor. To make a long story short, my body would only go into labor with the drugs, and once they stopped them, I stopped having contractions. I only dilated to a six, and baby was face up, not down in the birth canal, and was off-center. They decided at 1:30 Saturday morning to do a cesarean, and she was born at 2:32 am. I was discharged from the hospital on Monday, and I have to take it easy for the next few weeks.

Oh, and baby's name is Audrey Jeanine :D

Gestational diabetes, induction, labor, and finally a C-section I'd say you ran the gamut of obstetrical options @Lothwen. Please take it easy. (I'm speaking as the veteran of two C-sections.) Let others take on chores for you while you rest and heal. It will take 6 plus weeks to really recover from everything.

Love the name Audrey Jeanine. :hug:

Yes, ceasarians are not fun and plenty of rest is needed. I had three because of a weird pelvis. Just don't be afraid to ask for help from relatives and friends. Those are lovely names you've both chosen for baby.

Okay, there's a couple of pictures for you all to enjoy
