Look at Ashley as she starts LABOR!!!

Oh dear, I think this is IT!

I am on hold with the doctor's office right now. She's having severe back pain and from reading online it sounds as if she's in "back labor"


Oh wait - they just took us off hold... we're going to the Emergency Room!!!

That is what my thought was too, Lori - that the baby is now "low in the sling" and aimed towards OUT :eek: here's hoping this time is right and that Kim (and Ashley) -will soon be sharing labor stories and adorable pictures.....

Offering prayers for good health for everyone :D :D This is SOOOO exciting!

The fastest delivery I ever saw by far was by an eighteen-year-old having her first baby. We were trying to prep everything around her and the baby was out before we were ready. I really hope Ashley's labor is as fast and straight forward. She does look uncomfortable in that photo, doesn't she; it made me have sympathy pains!

I saw Ashley at 5:30. She is in the hospital, her water broke (not sure if Kim told you that) and she is very comfortable.

She had about 10 minutes worth of contractions before the mighty epidural. ;) so she is feeling NOTHING!!!!!

The monitor however, was showing contractions every 10 minutes. (actually, there was a bit of a scare before I arrived there. Ashley was having VERY rapid contractions and the baby was in distress. But they got them under control and everything was proceding normally.)

Let's see if I can get a phone update............

jazzcat
06-16-2006, 07:30 PM
Yay! Thanks for the update Jen!!!!!

Daisy and Delilah
06-16-2006, 07:35 PM
Thanks for the info Jen. I can imagine Kim and the family are beside themselves at the hospital. I know I would be. Me, Daisy, and Delilah are praying hard here in Florida that all is well and we hear the good news soon :)

I would say first baby, at least 16-20 hours plus labor.
So maybe by early tomorrow a.m. there will be a new arrival :)

I would say first baby, at least 16-20 hours plus labor.
So maybe by early tomorrow a.m. there will be a new arrival :)Not necessarily! My labor began around 7:30am and Aidan was born at 5:19pm after only 20 minutes of pushing! :) He's my first. And we beat the woman across the hall who was having her fourth!

My labor started at 1:30am and Zoey was out at 12:09 so that was pretty quick to. Heres hoping for a speedy labor for you Ashley!!

Craftlady
06-16-2006, 08:52 PM
I've never had children, I wasnt going to start at age 44 when I got married, 8 years ago.
I'm just going by what I've seen on Discovery Health Channel and TLC shows about babies. There's allot of longggggggggggggg labors for first babies.
I hope her's isnt the 16 hrs or more.

Push, Ashley, push....breathe, breathe, breathe....push, push!

catnapper
06-16-2006, 09:56 PM
Ok, ok, I suppose I should tell you all I'm a grandma!!

It was a day of too many ups and downs! Jen, you know how we thought those contractions were coming every ten minutes.... ummmmm... we were reading the monitor wrong. They were coming every MINUTE!

Where do I start? Forgive me if this all comes out in a ramble. I'll most likely make several posts (and yes I do have pictures!)

We went to the doctor this morning. She said all looks good and she'd be having a baby sometime this weekend. We came home and she immmediately started having bad back pains. I was hopeful but didn't get too excited that this was "it". As time passed, she grew more and more unhappy and painful. I called the doctor asking if this could be back labor (which is where I was when I started this thread) they said it sounded like labor and get over the the triage department. Only we took a detour.... to the all-you-can-eat pizza buffet. :rolleyes: She INSISTED she was starving and wanted to eat before she went in. So she ate a lot of pizza. :p Turnwed out ot be the smartest thing she ever insisted on because it was a long day without food for all of us!

Ok, so we roll into the hospital at 12:00 on the dot. Half an hour later her water broke and labor started abruptly. Problem was that she was only 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced. She started BAD contractions, and LOTS of them. The baby kept having a HUGE dip in heartrate and SEVERAL times nurses and doctors rushed in prepared to do an emergency C-section. Each time they were able to stabalize the baby's heartrate and stop her contractions with meds. So then labor would stop and we'd wait hoping to buy time for her to become fully dilated and effaced.

That time came, but problem: her contractions started real bad again. The baby's heartrate plummeted again, and back to the concept of an emergency c-section. They stoped the contractions and the heartrate leveled out where it should be. They decided to try to make her push the next time her contractions started... only problem was her epidoral paralyzed her and she couldn't push. Then the contractions started too fast and furious again... and emergency c-section was once again mentioned. Again they stabalized the heartrate. So they decided to try forcepts. We waited for the medicine that stopped her contractions to wear off so that contractions could start again..... and when they did, the forcepts didn't work. This time they just rushed her for the emergency c-section and I was made to wait in the waiting room like the rest of the family. It drove me NUTS!

The contractions were really bad. It was all natural - and they NEVER see contractions like she was having without having been given drugs to bring on contractions like that. She averaged 8-9 contractions every 5 minutes! :eek: There were so many contractions that the baby didn't have time to recover from one before another came, which sent the baby into distress and plummeting the heartrate!

More in next post... I'm sure you're all dying to find out whether its a BOY or GIRL ;)

I waited and paced and waited for them to come out from the c-section. I thought that hour was the most painful hour of my life! Surely it was really 10 hours? I thought waiting in the hospital room with her was bad -- that was nothing compared to knowing the baby was being delivered and I wasn't hearing any word from anybody about it! I'm sure I drove everyone nuts with my incessant babbeling! :D :p

So out comes the new father and announced momma and baby are fine.





Want to know what it is?





Boy? Girl?





BOY!!!! His name is Cameron Nicholas. He's 6pounds 10 ounces (or something like that -- I'm all blurry right now!) and I think 20 inches long. Again, I'm all fuzzy at the moment!

A very scared Ashley waiting in the hospital room. Things were really scary in there!

Oh my this brought tears to my eyes, he is beautiful. Reminded me of my labor with my first, same exact scenario. Tell Ashley I had my second child without a c-section...not sure if they do that anymore but just in case she is interested.

Things went very quickly for all of you Kim, both my labors were 24 hours plus so count your blessings. They will probably keep her and the baby in the hospital for a few days since it was a c section.

And I hope Ashley feels better soon, and gets all the pizza she wants. Poor girl looks just BEAT!

Jen, I think you are talking about the APGAR score - they score at birth and then again at five minutes.

It's a score out of 10, with a max of two points for each of:
- heart rate
- grimace
- breathing
- muscle / movement
- skin colour



WWAAAAAAH - lucky you getting to visit and hold him. I KNOW Cali is only just over 3 months, but I can't wait for my friend Michelle to deliver in October, so we can have another newborn around - it's just such a special time.

Ashley looked much better last night and I got to hold the baby a few times yesterday. He's SO SWEET! No fussiness or crying. Hopefully he'll stay that way ;)

I didn't get many photos yesterday since I wasn't there much since I had to work and I was trying to give Ash peace and quiet... time to rest since basically the whole world was visiting her. I know I'll have plenty of time with the baby to myself at home :)

I do have one picture that hubby took of me with the baby just as they were kicking us out at night.

I look like awful since I was so exhausted (whats with my hair and those dark eye circles? :eek: ) so imagine how tired Ashley looked~!

CONGRATULATIONS NANA KIM!!!

Cameron is simply GORGEOUS!!! I'm so relieved everything went well. This is the first time is 3 days I've been near a computer and cannot WAIT until Mark comes home to re-boot his so we have internet again!!!

Give Ashley and lil Cameron hugs and smoochies for me. Have fun spoiling him rotten.

Awww, Grandma holding the baby!!

Kim, maybe I missed this discussion but what will you be called - Grandma, Granny, Nana or something else?

My mother was a stickler for never being called Granny. She hated it so all the grandchildren called her Grandmother or Grandma. My sister's kids have shortened it to GM and GP for grandpa- I think that's funny. My husband's mother is called Nana and her mother is called Nannie (she turns 95 this year).
