Post Lehland Matthew's Birth Story.

His birth ended up in a planned C-section, but nothing that was planned seem to go that day.

I only got like 4 hrs of sleep the night before I went in cause I was so nervous and excited I couldn't sleep. DH was able to but as soon as the alarm went off he looked like SuperMan jumping out of bed. At least the weather wasn't bad so we didn't have to deal with that. I got to the hospital around 7:20am for my 9am appointment. They got me to the room and my IV and all that in just to wait... The hospitals switched to a new "All computer no paper" system earlier this wk and well it crashed 3 times before they were even scheduled to take me in. On top of that, none of my information or files were in the system, but were in the books for the day. So I had to re-register while I waited. So my 9am c-section turned in a noon one. *lol* By 10:30am my phone was going off like crazy for news and people started freaking cause we didn't have any...
Finally they got me back to have the surgery. I'm up on the table getting my epidoral *sp?* we they someone comes in right before I get the final part to pull all but my one nurse to another room!! They ended up getting an emergency c-section. Luckily less than 10mins all of them came back. Sadly, they had to restart my epidoral. It was almost 1pm before they were cutting into me, and everyone in my room were freaking a little. My DD was so nervous she was crying the whole time I was gone, and of course I was crying cause of this. Luckily everything after that went smooth... He was born at 1:09pm. It took two doctors to pull him out and omg he screamed for the next 15mins.
They sewed & stapled me up and then my dr talked to me... From my first c-section, the scar tissue acted like glue and my bladder is stuck to my uterus. They can't remove it either without cutting into either causing damage. So If we go for a third, they will take me at 36wks with another c-section.

But Lehland's doing well. He was a big baby like they guess. 10lbs 12oz 21.5 inches long
He has a head of jet black hair, and dark green eyes. He's a very healthy eatter too. Since my milk just came in the other day, and his size we've had to bottle feed some too. But at least this has helped our DD bond with him.

Wow - sounds like 'Murphy's Law' - whatever can go wrong will go wrong. But, at least you had a health, beautiful, BIG baby in the end!! That is pretty scary about the bladder - I was worried something like that would happen this last time because of the previa I had. It's good to know you can have another, if you want. Enjoy that little boy and rest up!!

Healthy Mom & healthy big baby boy! Perfect results!

Thought my 9 lb boys were big at birth, but yours takes the cake!
I love to cuddle those big boys.

Glad to hear your milk came in. Keep drinking fluids as you nurse.
You'll do fine BF (even, if you feel the need to suppliment.)
It's all good. And we're behind you 100% whichever way works
for you and baby!
