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!!!
:balloons:Congratulations! I'm glad your hospital experience was great... aside from those "boob nazis". I agree. Encouraging breastfeeding is one thing, but pushing it to the extreme past mom's and baby's pace is another. Good luck with successful breastfeeding and well wishes to you and your new little one! :)
