Tammy,

Congratulations to you and DH! It seems as though you were pregnant

forever, and now here he is! Nice name, BTW; DH and I also have an

Adam (okay, so he's my stepson!).

I'm sorry about the chest surgery and relieved to know that he did

well and is now home. I can't wait to see his photos.

Well done!

It's a wonderful name. I am glad to hear that his surgery was

Another UD success story, that's great!!

Take care of yourself and enjoy your new bundle of joy. I know how

busy things get, so we'll wait patiently for the pics, but we're all

Good morning! I gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby boy on

Monday, February 4th (2 days before his EDD) at 4:37 am. His name is

Barron and we're calling him Jack ( is dh's first name, so

we want to call him something different). He is 7lbs. 3 oz, 19 1/2

inches long- just a bit more than my OB estimated a few weeks ago.

My labor was unbearably long- 24 hours from start to finish. I

dilated to 10 cm without too much difficulty (although I was already

at 20 hours at that point). But a portion of my cervix was still

constricted, which prevented the baby from moving further downward.

(My OB had told me this could happen because I have two cervices- the

2nd can restrict the 1st during labor). Also when I got to 10 cm, my

contractions started to taper off. They tried pitocin at two or

three different times, but the baby didn't react well to it. Baby's

heart rate was bouncing around and after 4 and 1/2 hours of pushing,

they finally had to use forceps to deliver him. I had some internal,

as well as external tearing. The OB that delivered me is still not

absolutely sure if cervical tissue was involved or if I had a

previously undiscovered vaginal septum that tore. (Too hard to see

with all that was going on). She wants to take a better look at my 6-

week check up. Can you believe after all this time and the many

doctors I have been to that it's possible I have a vaginal septum I

never knew about!?

In spite of the difficult labor (I was convinced Jack was going to be

an only child for the first few days), Jack and I are both fine.

After 2 days you couldn't even see the bruises and marks on his head

from the forceps.

He is a sweetie and is consuming 150% of me right now- so forgive me

for not being up on the posts. I did see that Tammy also had her

baby...Congratulations on little Adam, Tammy. So glad that both of

you are alright.

Congratulations, Gretchen. And you have *wonderful* taste in names,

LOL. (I named my first /Jack. It's the dearest name in the

world to me)

After hearing from other bicollis members of this list, yes, I do

believe that they could have missed a vaginal septum. Whatever the

case is, I hope you have a speedy recuperation and find that not only

can you keep up with Jack's needs, but are able to get some sleep,

too.

Looking forward to seeing your son . . .

I see the board has been very active since I haven't signed on in a while.

Welcome to the newbies!!

Adam Morton was born on January 31st at 11:35 a.m. His EDD was

1/30/02.

He was 6 lbs 12 ounces & was 20 inches in length. The estimations of his

birth weight prior to his birth were 6 lbs 9 ounces & 6 pounds 14 ounces -

so they were relatively on target in his case.

I was induced as he had not engaged & I was not dilated any further when I

had my OB appt prior to that. However, the OB on call that night said that

I had progressed further by the time I was admitted. My DH & I are

attributing it to the Indian food we ate the previous night as my

contractions started albeit irregular about 1 hour after we left the

restaurant - LOL. They started becoming more regular around 2 a.m. that

morning.

Labor & delivery went relatively smoothly - although I did have a surgical

repair of a torn vaginal septum after the birth. Unfortunately it was not

torn to the extent that it was removed - so it's still there.

Adam was born with a coarctation of the aorta which required surgery when he

was 5 days old. He was transferred up to another facility for the procedure

within 24 hours of his birth. It was really tough watching him go through

surgery at such a young age. But, since the surgery, he has recuperated

very well. To look at him now, I wouldn't even know he had surgery on

Monday - if it weren't for the small dressing under his left arm.

We were able to come back home with Adam on Friday night & were very glad to

be home,

We hope to post a few pictures soon. However with everything going on, we

haven't had a minute to do it.
