With my first the doctor had to use forceps as well, and the next week or two was miserable. I couldn't sit down without a lot of pain. But I'm so glad Emme is here safe! In the end that's all that matters.Jessica Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12212163201148504267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259658716013642773.post-57584212860106831372009-11-30T19:07:05.250-07:002009-11-30T19:07:05.250-07:00All I can say is WOW!!All I can say is WOW!!The Whitney'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611280951847553948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259658716013642773.post-61320218367651091472009-11-29T19:19:04.181-07:002009-11-29T19:19:04.181-07:00Your story had me crying, too.

What a terrifying experience! <br /><br />Marshall's labor was similar, he was posterior so they turned then delivered him with forceps (after I politely declined the c-section) and I had a third degree tear too. Not fun! Rest up and allow yourself time to heal.<br /><br />Congratulations, she is beautiful! Doesn't it make all the pain worth it?Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135725425296384065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259658716013642773.post-13229332831007227942009-11-28T17:46:58.270-07:002009-11-28T17:46:58.270-07:00I'm an emotional, pregnant mess, and your stor...I'm an emotional, pregnant mess, and your story made me bawl.

I hope you guys are doing okay and getting the hang of the parenting thing. It looks like you are. Oh, and Jackson was the same way when he was little-he'd sleep much better when he was cuddling us in bed than in his own for the first three weeks or so. I had to bite the bullet and put him down in his crib and he started getting used to it. It was hard though because I loved cuddling him so much! Plus, it was easier to nurse him when he was so close!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160020765674877063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259658716013642773.post-90176703692114361092009-11-28T10:27:56.751-07:002009-11-28T10:27:56.751-07:00that story was sooo scary.
You know the phrase &...that story was sooo scary. <br />You know the phrase "well it can't get any worse than this" then something worse happens? That's how I felt reading the birth story. Just the terrible physical pain of being in back pain (!) labor for so long and being sent home and vomiting and being feverish, then you go on to tell how it gets even scarier...with the cord wrapped around her. <br /><br />I don't know if that made sense. But just reading this story was very intense....I can't even imagine living it. We are SO GLAD you are all healthy and well. What a happy ending to the birth story and beginning to a wonderful life. We love you guys!Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11503246998637206824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3259658716013642773.post-30753305983631608382009-11-27T21:43:05.207-07:002009-11-27T21:43:05.207-07:00wow what a beautiful story!

I seriously got all choked up and teary by the time I got to the end of your story.<br /><br />I had a difficult labor and delivery with Ethan too, with bad tearing and lots of bleeding. The good news is that the subsequent babies came out WAAAAAY easier, and that's the case with the vast majority of my friends. Take care of yourself and take all the help that is offered - I really didn't realize how beat up I was after my first delivery until I had Rachel and felt so much better, so I was feeling all down on myself for being tired and sore. <br /><br />I love the picture of Chris all snuggled up in bed with Emme. I have an almost identical one of him with Ethan. New babies are hard work. But worth it :).Nurse Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05701919857269926765noreply@blogger.com
