Popular Post flashesbuck Posted April 29, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 The chat box had a few questions as I was posting, so I'll start a thread in here. My first child was born 12.57am on the 27th. After a very long and painful labor. He got stuck on the way out, issues with the cord and they swept my wife away to the OR after 4 unsuccessful pushes. Baby heart rate drop, scary low. Guys, it's amazing what they can do here. In just 9 of the most terrifing mins , they had my wife over to the OR, strapped down to a different bed and drugged up and the baby was out and they were "working" on him. Cut-to-birth was under minute, as the Dr puts it. I was able to hold him for a few seconds right after he was out, but quickly ran him down to NICU, to stabliz him. Cofer is now doing well, but is still in NICU. He should be released in less than a week. He bounced back quickly with fluids. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfman1 Posted April 29, 2017 Report Share Posted April 29, 2017 Congrats on the new addition to the family! We had a similar situation with my wife and our first, she was in labor for hours and pushed for quite a while as my son got stuck and every time she pushed his heart rate would sound like it was going to stop. In her case they had to get the spoons out and give him a pull when she pushed and then he came through. It was a scary situation for a few minutes as he was blue and wasn't breathing, they started on him right away and then you heard his first cry and I just about passed out. I am glad to hear mama and son are doing good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad to hear mama and son are doing good! Yes true! I listened to his heart beat for a full day and then you notice drop during pushes... So terrifing... Me and the wife think he may be an only child at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue-yamaR6s Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Congrats! We had two kids, one natural birth and the second scheduled cesarean b/c the cord was wrapped around the kid's leg. The Dr. tried to turn the baby weeks before the birth but couldn't with the way things were tangled inside. It's hard to imagine not having such good care like today. Each pregnancy was different. Glad things worked out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
