Born August 28, 2010 at 4:35 AM
7lbs, 9oz, 21 inches
I had tried writing up an account of labor/delivery that captured all the great details so that I could look back on it in the future, but there was so much to recount that I never got around to finishing the post. So now Noah is a day shy of 6 weeks old and I haven't blogged about anything because I felt like I couldn't move forward without recording labor/delivery. In order that I move forward, I will post an account in bullet points:
-Contractions began on August 27 (due date)
-Examination by Drs concluded baby was in mild distress during contractions and that umbilical cord was around neck
-My OB decided to induce so that baby could be closely monitored as labor progressed
-After about 11 hours of labor, on-call OB decided to deliver by Caesarean so as to minimize risk to baby
-Umbilical cord was wrapped twice around baby's neck!
-Noah born at 4:35 AM!
I was a bit upset by having to deliver by c-section, as I'd spent so much time reading about and imagining a normal delivery, but in the end, we had our baby and he was healthy and safe, so I couldn't be upset for long!
