Monday afternoon I thought I was either peeing myself or had a lot of vaginal discharge. I did NOT think my water had broken at all but DH had be call the doc. Of course they had me come in and do the paper test. For some reason when they did the test I thought the nurse said it was pee so when they did an internal I thought maybe they had just because I was already dilated 4 cm 2 weeks ago and they were just checking to check.
Well, I had dilated to 5cm and 100% effaced and yes indeed it was my water! I was floored! Since Piper was still breech (stubborn!!) they booked me for the OR and said at 7:30 we were heading to have my c/s. I was so not prepared for this especially when I looked at the clock and that was only 40 mins away! Ahhh!!
Well after a quick c/s Piper Sue Cullen was born at 7:52 pm Nov. 22 (36 weeks exactly) at 5lbs 11 ounces. 17 1/2 inches long. A peanut!
I couldn't get over it when I asked her Apgar scores----- a 9 and a 9! I was so happy! Then she was able to come with me to recovery and she latched on and nursed for 35 mins! She has been a champ at bf but she still has lost weight (normal) and today she is down to 5lbs 4 ounces. She may be jaundice a bit ---waiting on lab. She doesn't look it to me and ped said she wasn't much if any. So cross your fingers!
About to do car seat test and my nurse told me that if I asked my doctor if I can go home today since it is a holiday tomorrow they may let me (c/s usually stay 3 to 4 days post op and I have 2 days).
