***I had my baby***

Postby melanieN » Sep 01, 2007 7:50 pm

daniel david was born 8/29/07 at 1130am. 7lb 3oz 21 inches
my water broke in the middle of the night and he was born 10 hrs later with a triple knot in his umbilical cord, that we had no idea about. the md actually took pics of it since she had never seen a knot that substantial!!! we are very lucky that he came 3 1/2 weeks early or it could have caused quite a problem!!!!
i am so HAPPY to say i am HG free and feel wonderful (except for the regular after birth discomforts and ankle swelling).
oh- not sure if it is coincidence or not- but i did drink castor oil 2 tbs in orange juice at 9pm the night i went into labor (my water broke at 1am). it wasn't bad at all, but i had been having substantial labor contractions since 3 days prior and my ob had said i could go into labor and deliver any day. well thanks to all for your support and prayers during the past 9 months. i am finally beginning to feel like the old pre-HG me, and boy does it feel good!!!! xxoo
