Just 3 weeks ago we welcomed our first baby into the world - a boy, and his birth was rather like your Axton's ( decreased heart rate, emergency button pressed, episiotomy and vacuum). I also had to have a transfusion and developed an infection which meant an increased hospital stay. Had somebody told me that was how it would happen I would have been terrified to go into labour, but by leaning on my wonderful husband and knowing that God was watching over me I had no fear. And the moment he was placed on my chest I got a whole new appreciation of the miracle of life.

After more than 20 hours of really close and hard contractions and cervix opened only to a 5 for hours without change, the hospital staff told me:"You either get an epidural, or this will end up as a c-section." After a quick prayer, we decided that that would be best. <br />In the end, the baby had a telly weird position and hardly came out and I also lost about 3 liters of blood. It was miserable. <br />16 months later, I had my second birth experience and it was wonderful, all natural, from first contraction till baby was born 6 hours long. So, be encouraged. It might be very different the next time! You did so well with Axton and he is super cute.<br /><br />In only a couple weeks, we expect our third one :-) <br /><br />Blessings from Germany<br />~AnnaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-51777169836912810012019-06-15T00:31:20.419-04:002019-06-15T00:31:20.419-04:00I've been waiting to read your story to see ho...I've been waiting to read your story to see how it compared to mine. My first son was born in October of 2016 nine months after our wedding. My water broke 4 days before he was born. I was GBS positive, so having the water break first was not a good thing. We tried castor oil, tons of walking, herbs, and pumping to get labor started. It was long and discouraging to keep waiting. Labor finally started about 12 hours before he was born. At one point, his heart rate was real high, and we agreed with our midwife to go to the hospital to get antibiotics in an IV. That hour ride was awful as I have horrible back pain when I labor-like someone is stabbing or burning my lower back. The doctor was mean to me in various ways, and I was glad when he finally arrived several hours later after 15 minutes of pushing. I was so out of it that I didn't feel the birth. But I was so glad not to need a C-section.<br />My second son arrived December of 2017 safely at home in our little trailer. My water broke again about 36 hours before he was born; labor was only 3 hours and pushing about 15 minutes.<br />Our third son arrived 7 weeks ago also safely at home. My water also broke first but this time only about 22 hours before he was born. Labor was less than 3 hours and I wasn't even sure it was for real until an hour before he arrived. I was in the pool for barely 20 minutes and he arrived after 10 minutes of pushing.<br />So be encouraged that you CAN have a homebirth after a hospital birth. I can sympathize with you so much. But I can't imagine pushing for so long. I don't know how you did it! Except by the strength of God!<br />God bless you.Rosalindnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-79642372655350263552019-06-14T19:59:28.267-04:002019-06-14T19:59:28.267-04:00I loved reading your story, Chelsy!
