I had a 4pm appointment on Tuesday the 5th and was told I was about 3 cm dialated and 75% effaced. I came home did some housework and just relaxed. My husband went to bed and I stayed up, having trouble falling asleep. I finally went to bed around midnight. At 2:30a I woke up having a contraction and had to use the bathroom. I laid in bed and could not fall back to sleep. At around 3:20a I was laying on my right side and my belly made this weird sound like a rubber band snapped. I instantly knew my water had broken. But it didnt gush out, it was a slow trickle. I got up and called the Dr who said to go to the hospital. I woke up DH & DD. Had to get a few more things together and we left the house around 3:45a. I was having no contractions up til that point.
In the short car ride I had 2 contractions. I arrived and was told I was 4-5cm with contractions 2 mins apart and asked if I wanted the epidural. I did and the Dr. came in right away with it. We had arranged for my DD to be somewhere from 8-12 (a summer camp) and my DH had to take her. So at 7a the nurse said I was 8 and moving quickly. Told DH to high tail it outta there and get right back. He came back at 7:45 and they had me ready to push. I pushed through 5 contractions only and he was out. I did tear pretty bad and had to get several stitches. Also, my regular OB was on vacation so I had the on call Dr who was very impersonal and I didnt like her. Luckily my nurse was amazing (and employee of the year) so she helped me through it.
I can not believe that with both my children I have had such an easy labor. I mean to go from no contractions to delivery in a matter of hours is great. Even though Trevor gave me a lot of stress in his first 6 days, I am so happy to be at home with him.

Today was the best day so far. He has been taken off the IV, he is now on a schedule of eating when hungry instead of scheduled feedings, I am able to breastfeed and he is doing excellent with it, no longer on any monitors except heart rate (which is required for all NICU babies), and basically we are just waiting out the next 24 hours to make sure he can do well on his own. He still has a slightly bloated belly, but it is no longer hard. Dr is hoping that with some more passing gas and poops he will be just fine.
Feeling really positive. They say we may still have to be here for a few more days, but after the very successful day we had today I am feeling so relieved. I can not wait to have my baby at home in my arms. Thank you all for your kind words & support so far!View Thread

Baby Trevor Michael was born 6/6/12 @ 8:27am 8lbs2oz 18.5in. My water broke at 3:20am and contractions instantly went to 2 min apart. I went to the hospital and got my epidural right away. Birth went very smooth. I did tear and got a few stitches.
He latched right away and then was taken for a clean up and check up. After he returned to the room he continued to stay asleep and would not eat or go to the bathroom. By the next day around 5 am he still had not eaten once, but had went pee. The pediatrician on staff made the decision to send him up to Tucson to the NICU for a rule out bowl obstruction. His belly was distended and he was not eating, burping a lot and had not pooped.
He was transferred by helicopter. We arrived shortly after. As of today we still do not have an official diagnosis. The good news is that he is now pooping on his own, his belly is no longer hard, and this morning they doubled his feeding intake. I have been pumping like crazy since he had been on a no feeding order so I could not even attempt to breast feed. So my milk is very slowly coming in. Bad news is that his belly is still swollen, and we dont know why. He had a barium injection yesterday and we are awaiting the results of that so that we can figure out what happens next. He is able to be alert and awake which is good and I love looking at him.

We are staying at the Ronald McDonald House here in Tucson. This place is amazing for families in situations like ours. There is so much for DD to do here and they provide food. Its amazing to have such wonderful people who volunteer for this.
We are so ready to take our little man home. He is so perfect in every way and I can not wait for all of this to be over. I continue to try to be strong but it evades me so much and I just break down. Nothing can prepare you for seeing your baby with an IV in his head, and just overall not well. Especially when there is nothing you can do and there is no answers. Please keep us in your thoughts and I will post again when I know something. Thank you all!View Thread

s/c: everything still lol. I wake up several times a night to pee, my hips are starting to go out, I am still on modified bed rest which helped stop the contractions, but I have been having a lot of menstrual like cramps.
other: I made it past 36 weeks which was the goal, so anytime now I am ready to go! And Dr. will feel safe to deliver, so bring on the baby already!! lol. I am beyond ready. My hubby has signed in officially here at Fort Huachuca and has gone back to work
