user 10147955 Baton Rouge, LA Post #: 11	Will post more later, but our baby girl was born Sunday at 1:29 pm Coming in at 6lbs 15 oz and 20 inches. Some high lights from the birth: -Water broke Sat am 1:30ish and contractions started strong immediately at about 2 minutes apart for the first 6 hours or so -My doctor wanted/tried to postpone any intervention. Not at all pressured to stray from my birth plan. Had there not be other complications she would have allowed me to go 36 hours past my water breaking to give me the birth I wanted. Evelyn is my first, so I don't have much to speak from. But for a hospital birth I'm assuming mine was as good as they can get. -About 6-8 hours into labor my strong contractions virtually stopped. And stayed that way for the next 30 hours or so. So much for thinking it would be a quick labor. -Sunday 1:29 pm she was born, c-section, with the cord wrapped several times around her neck. So apparently my body knew what it was doing when it basically put the breaks on labor. -I was able to go skin to skin right after the section- so amazing. -Breast fed as soon as we returned to the room- she has quite a suck! -Healthy me and health baby!
