Byron is going great guns! He skipped the NICU & went straight to special care. He came out (vaginally) screaming those steriod filled lungs out. The little tube is his for his feeding & fluids. He's on a drip too for the antibiotics. I started to show signs of infection which the Ob says put me into labour. They as Byrons heartrate was high & my temp was climbing they wanted to get him out quick. They put me on the synitocin (sp?) drip throughout the labour so it was so so intense. And yes, I went the epidural. I was confined to the bed as I had to have continuos CTG. Only a few big pushes & he was out. No stitches... But the midwife tells me it's due to his size, so I can't take any credit. But my recovery has been fantastic. I was on a drip for 24 hours so they could pump 3 different antibiotics into me. My temp is fine now & I'm just on 2, oral, antibiotics.
EDIT* I forgot to mention that they say he'll be out of his humidity crib today. We're so proud of him
I'm looking forward to getting my birth story up & running & will do so in due time.
Thanks again to you all for your wonderful support.
