So, I've had a few requests to hear the birth story so if you are squimish proceed of your own accord. Wednesday James was able to get off of work a little early and we were sitting in the family room watching T.V. It was around 5pm and all the sudden I felt a pop and then a gush. I was affraid of what was going on so I jumped up and ran to the bathroom. I then found out that I was leaking blood. I then had James get me my phone so I could call my Dr. where they told me to go to the hospital. My due date was never really sure, originally it was the 16th, but then it got changed to the 30th. So, according to the most recent change I was only 35 weeks and 4 days along. Once I got to the hospital they did an ultra-sound and determined that I had a pretty serious placental abruption. Basically there was a good size part of the placenta was torn from the uterus wall and there was a large clott form as well as some heavy bleeding. Since there was a high risk that the placenta could tear completly away from the wall the Dr. started to move fast. I really wanted a vag birth but because of the risk c-section was a high probability. Fortunately I was progressing fast enough that we were able to just sit back and let nature take it's course. By 11:00 I was 6cm, and then as of 11:05pm I was 10cm and ready to go. So... 3 contractions and 9 pushes later Emry was born. She immediatley started sucking on her hand, and was a healthy 6 lbs 10 ounces. So even though it was early and a little high stress everything turned out perfectly.
