I found out I had to have a c-section four days before my due date...and was 100% prepared for a natural delivery. But, when it was all said and done, I was thankful for a healthy baby boy...with a perfectly round head (bonus). I'll be there on Tuesday to answer all your c-section questions...hang in there.Michalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07102148305005432139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772472560844293566.post-74672683497242338362009-03-26T06:36:00.000-06:002009-03-26T06:36:00.000-06:00Our thoughts and prayers are with all three of you...Our thoughts and prayers are with all three of you...and when you hold your sweet child in your arms, it just won't matter how she got there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772472560844293566.post-77041939503783130682009-03-25T19:00:00.000-06:002009-03-25T19:00:00.000-06:00oh brookie!!! everything happens for a reason and ...oh brookie!!! everything happens for a reason and THANK GOD they have such technology to divert a scary situation!!!! xoxo <BR/>peter is the sweetest and blizzards are yummyhub of the househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273866715865341098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772472560844293566.post-14697097838690743022009-03-25T16:05:00.000-06:002009-03-25T16:05:00.000-06:00I am so proud of you and your amazing ability to h...I am so proud of you and your amazing ability to handle whatever is thrown at you . . .

I also had to have a massive change of plans and ended up with 4 c-sections but their births were stil an incredible experience and like everyone else said- they came out with perfect little heads!Briannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02077788325822643993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772472560844293566.post-42182333673118607902009-03-25T09:48:00.000-06:002009-03-25T09:48:00.000-06:00Oh Brooke, I am sorry to hear that you will not be...Oh Brooke, I am sorry to hear that you will not be able to go through with the birth plan that you envisioned. It just happens that way sometimes. However, the most important thing is the health of you and baby girl Howell! So keep your head up and just know that this is all part of God's plan. BTW I know two people who gave birth via c-section and had 4 children after vaginally...it is possible. Aso, I pushed for 3 hours and was in labor for 18 after my water broke, so Owen had a bit of a conehead for the first several hours after his birth! Keep us posted and I can't wait to see pics of her when she is born!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772472560844293566.post-57048330673697383552009-03-25T09:24:00.000-06:002009-03-25T09:24:00.000-06:00Blizzards rule - and getting everyone home safe an...Blizzards rule - and getting everyone home safe and healthy is the goal.

I was so excited to see how amazing you did with natural birth- look at the bright side, at least you are in great shape and will spring back from a C section better than anyone I know!

But at the same time I can only imagine the heartache of all that you have prepared for. Your analogy was incredible about the marathon. I am so sorry! That's all I can say! Terra is right though, they make pretty babies and in reality it's about the health of you and the baby. I am just sorry that darn placenta is not cooperating!

We waited and waited and prayed and hoped that somehow he'd figure out a way to migrate that little (or big) head of his down and out, but at 38 weeks I too had to have a c-section. Not as I had envisioned or planned my pregnancy either mostly because I knew that chances of me getting to have a natural childbirth the next go round were slim to none due to risks after c-section, but here is the good news you can look forward to....c-section babies have beautiful, perfect round heads since they don't have to come through the birth canal. I know...TMI...but trying to give you something positive to look forward to! You look wonderful!!Terrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242696424021465133noreply@blogger.com
