IT's A GIRL!!

[LeahJet, ASN, RN]

I'm not sure if anyone knows my story but I lost my baby girl one year ago on July 31st at 37 weeks gestation. We buried her a year ago tomorrow.

Well, a week ago today, I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl named Ana.

7lbs.12oz. 20 inches. She was delivered per C/S at 36 and a half weeks due to my history of previous stillborn and type of incision. Other than some transient tachypnea and a touch of jaundice, she is doing great and we've been home for a couple of days now.

Oh, and thanks to that thread "what pts say/do that irks you"....I was a perfect patient....lol. I even changed my own linens and emptied my JP drain and kept up with I&O's.

My only slightly negative experience....which wasn't really THAT negative... was with what my husband and I fondly called the "boob nazis". They just needed to take the pressure down a notch. I'm the type that just needs some instruction and guidance....and my daughter and I will work out the rest. I felt slightly man-handled the recipient of a high pressured sales pitch.... I chose to breast feed a long time ago and I don't need to be sold on it.

ANYway.... it was a wonderful experience and I thank all of you wonderful OB nurses out there. You guys are awesome!!!

Oh, what a wonderful thing to read here... my sincerest, most heartfelt congratulations! :balloons:

What a blessing, to be sure. :)

Now I have goosebumps from reading this.

I know your infant daughter will fill you with unspeakable joy. And she will be a comforting reminder of her sister, for indeed she, too, is a part of her.

Be blessed, and may God bless this little one. (((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))

Congratulations, LeahJet!! :balloons:

I'm so glad to hear that all went well, and you have a baby girl!!

I'm also glad to hear that they gave the baby back after they took her.

Sorry about the "boob nazis." I'm glad that they are encouraging breastfeeding but I do agree, some of them can go overboard.

Welcome back, you take care of yourself and that new little life! :balloons:
