Two births in two days ...
Jun. 9th, 2004 09:51 amMonday I had a birth - first time mom (primip) arrived at birth center, 8 cm dilated (extraordinary for a 1st time mom, in labor for just 3 hours at that point). Got in the tub, water broke, felt the urge to push .. pushed a bit, and a lovely baby boy born at 7:58am, 6 lbs, 5 oz. Postpartum went well, and home again, jiggity jig ...
Tuesday, another birth, first time mom, water breaks around 5am - labor at home, all day, makes terrific progress (although a bit slower than yesterday's mom) - finally 10cm around 5:35pm in the afternoon. After only 45 minutes of pushing, a *BIG* beautiful baby girl was born at 6:05pm, weighing in at 11 lbs 9.5 oz -- yes, you read that correctly :)
I love my job -- and my babies that I help in to the world -- the small and the big!
