Guest guest Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Just wanted to let everyone know we welcomed our sweet baby boy Caleb into the world on Wednesday Sept. 10th at 4:20 AM weighing 8 lbs. 7 oz. My labor was 11 hours start to finish...we got to the birth center 9 centimeters dilated already! I got in the tub and labored for two more hours, and my water broke at 4 AM. At that point, I got out of the tub and he came in one big push! I did all natural birth and felt so empowered to know I could do it. I did tear a bit because he came so fast and had his elbows up. I am taking one day at a time, using lots of emu oil and waiting for the stitches to heal before I resume much else in the way of treatment. He is so sweet, I just sit and stare at him like a TV show! Not much time between feedings except to pee and eat something myself, but I will try to keep up with posts here and there. Hope all are well! Melinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
