I guess I will begin. My daughter is my oldest. She was born Feb 3 2007. She was due Feb 9. She weighed in at 7 lbs 6 oz. 18 1/2" long. Pregnancy was planned and went very smooth. I never got sick.. only nautious.. Thank God since I was only in 10th grade. Yeah I was young but its ok. Im a still a great person! Her delivery was awesome! She was induced since I was just ready.. and When they had me push I only pushed for like a minute then I was ready and she came. I was lucky to not have problems since I was young. Yes I had an epidural. Her name is Hali Jasmine
My second born was a boy. Named Brycen Edward Ray. He was born on October 1 2004. He was due on October 13th. I was induced 2 weeks early for no reason other than he was good sized already! He weighed in at 7 lbs 10 oz. 21 " long. My only problems with him was I did get sick alot! I was not one of those that lived by a toilet but them occasional nights that I would get sick then I did! He was born natural and Yes I had an epidural.
My third born was also a boy. His name is Blake Landon Lee. He was born 4-21-2006. He was due on May 5th which was also his dads birthday. I was also induced 2 weeks early here because he was big and ready. I actually went into labor with this one! I was 6 weeks before due date so they stopped my contractions.. about 2 weeks later it started again and stopped about a day later. They were not getting stronger or anything they were just there. So finally I go in at 6 am.. They checked me and I was dilated to a 6. I have my epidural by now so I was very numb.. But I felt something in my belly. I like to describe this feeling as a butterfly flutter.. lol ya know they seem so sweet soft and light.. anyways I called the nurse and told her and she decided to go ahead and check me.. IT has only been 30 minutes since she last checked me and i was a 6. She looks at me and says " don't laugh cough sneeze or anything" I freak out why is he coming and she said Yes.. stay calm and we will get the doctor here.. lol so ok I do not even wanna talk now! Anyways doctor made it and before ya know it there he was. This big baby with lots of pitch black hair! He weighed in at 8 lbs 8 oz and was 20" long. Yes he was also 2 weeks early. Doctor said if I would have waited until my due date he would have been a good 10 pounder.. lol anyways I am a good baby deliverer. I can't wait to have my last one! No not yet! In about a year.. lol. Well I hope you enjoyed my stories. Feel free to take up as much space and share your stories!!

My husband and I were told by doctors that we would not be able to have children unless we did invetro fertilization. So lo and behold I got pregnant after 6 years of trying. Everything went fine until week 18. I woke up and the bed was wet because my sack had broke. I went to the doctor and they could not save her. I gave birth and she was born stillborn. They said I had what was called an incompetent cervix. That means when the baby starts to gain some weight I just open up without contractions. So I had lost my mucus plug and the bag broke.
Two years later I was pregnant again. They said if I were to get pregnant that I would need what was called a cerlage. It sews the cervix shut until the baby is ready to be born. So did the procedure but it failed at around 20 weeks. I was in the hospital for a month before my little girl was born. She was 1lb 4oz. They asked me do I even want them to try to save her because most die in the first week and if they do live they have major problems like blindness, deafness, cerable palsy and the list goes on! I said yes of course! I am glad to report that 3 years later she is doing fine. The only problem she has is a little speech delay but she is making strides everyday and she is a fighter!
Then another two years I was pregnant again and I did the procedure again but this time it worked! I made it to 37 weeks and had a beautiful little boy at 6lb 7oz.
It is going on 2 years since I had him so I guess I'd better watch out! :-)
I on the other hand, was told that I would never be able to have kids after a traggic miscarriage, but God said differently.
At age 24,by ceserean,I had Tyrah Dawn,she was 6pds 2oz. 19"long.I never dialated the whole time, NEVER! she was born 7-23-93,My usual name TIA and my hubby's name IRA, I put together to make TYRAH and (don't laugh) the Dawn dishwashing liquid commercial made me cry(don't ask,I don't know why) so I fell in love with Dawn for some reason. I had never drank coffee, Craved it! Had to have it but it,of course was bad for me so I sucked a bag of Coffee flavored candy a day. Drink coffee since that day now. Mexican food, Loved it until I was pregnant, couldn't stand the smell of it for nine months. I'll tear it up now though.
So,Five years after goo goos and gagas with her, she's off to kindergarten and I'm off to "Thank heavens" Another pregnancy test sticks turns up pink, O.k now I thought to myself. "God is really showing off with this no-babies theory. But OMG, Did he ever show off. On my very own Birthday, By ceserean, weighing 6pds 7 oz, I had Ella Alvina. So beautiful and precious,what a B-day present she was. With Ella I only dialated 1 cm. and gained 35 pds, my face broke out so bad it looked like a pepperoni pizza(stop laughing, I can hear you) I was swollen from head to toe,literally, didn't mind the Xtra bra size but I did everyhing for Ty-bo to rainbows to get rid of everything else. My hubby is an only child. His mom was 13 when she had him,so his very dear&special grandmother ELLA raised him and she did such a good Job,we had to carry her name so we gave it to my baby.
Now doctors are saying that ANY pregnancies I have will definitely be by Ceserean and I'll never give birth vaginally so,I'm coiunting my blessings,my two girls and I'm hanging up the towel Because they also say that # cesereans is the Max that any woman can have. So I'm 42 for another month. My blessings are 8 & 13. We're cool. We're chilling.
Now I just look forward to periods,graduations,boys,dating,marriages or whatever they throw at me.
God Bless you and your babies and the one you're having next year. If I ever need a seregate mom, I know who can deliver,,,you!

After going off the pill, it took me awhile to get pregnant. My first ended in miscarriage on an airplane. With my second pregnancy I was sick all of the time and I had to start wearing maternity clothes by 3 months. I lost the pregnancy at 4 months, and learned that it was twins (the reason for the sickness and getting big so early) Onto my third pregnancy! This time I went into labor at 5 months. My OB put me on medication to stop the contractions and put me on bedrest. Four months later we finally had a beautiful 9lb 10oz pudgy baby girl. Tough delivery, but the best day of my life. I'd re-live it in a heartbeat. She was such a good baby that we decided to try to get pregnant again right away. And 16 months after the birth of our first, I gave birth to another beautiful 9+ pound pudgy baby girl. If I hadn't been too old at that point, there would have been a third, but I'm pretty happy with the 2 healthy ones we have!
Too old huh? Did you hear on the news about the 60 year old just gave birth to twins last week?
