Amanda bornt on 8/18
Hi everybody,
My daughter Amanda bornt in early morning of 8/18. We went home today. I have just finished feeding her. My water bag broke on 8/17 afternoon. I called my hubby and he came back driving 95 miles and managed to come back in 30 minutes. I took a shower and washed my hair before going. When I arrived the hospital, I'm already 3 cm dilated. My ob was not on duty that day and there's a male midwife who delivered my baby. After several hours of no progress, the midwife decided to induce labor for me. At around 11:20pm, I was 6/7 cm dilated and the nurse asked me if I needed pain medication. I could still handle it and wanted to wait. After 15 minutes, I thought that I needed medication but it's already too late because I was fully dilated. Once the midwife arrived the labor room, he emptied my bladder and started coaching me pushing. He and the 2 nurses were really professional and good. I just needed to push for 20 minutes, Amanda's out and she bornt at a few mins. past mid night. So, we could stay one more night in the hospital.
I really like this hospital and all the workers there. They are very professional, supportive and nice. My tear is just 2 degree this time, managed to pee and have the 1st poo today. It's all because of the coaching of the midwife on how and when to push to avoid big tear. They were so encouraging and one of the nurses actually off duty but she really wanted to see the baby bornt and she left right after Amanda bornt.
Now, I'm working hard to be a milk-cow mom. Amanda is agressive and really wants to suck. I start to feel the milk coming. Both me and my hubby are tired. Spencer sorts of understand that Amanda is his sister, he gave her kisses but also hit her when I asked him to stop his naughty behaviors.
