Hi everyone,

I had a baby boy on 07/25/01 at 3:54pm. He weighs 7lbs 14oz and 19.5 inches long. He is a perfect little darling. My labor was induced by breaking my bag of waters at 9:00am on wednesday morning and labor was became very intense with contractions coming every 1-2 mins lasting for more than a minute. I was ready to push at 1:00pm, and i had to push for 3.5 hours and since his head was big they had to use a forcep. I had a big episiotomy and a few internal tears. i feel a lot better today, still unable to sit. Nursing was no fun initially but i'm getting the hang of it with the help of lactation consultants and my mom. still suffering with sore & cracked nipples. Hope all of you are doing good. belly-rubs to you all and hugs & kisses to all of your little angels.

With Love,
Vidhya & Rohit. niki replied. Hey Vidhya, I am sure u must be so much busy with ur baby & recovery but now its going to be my turn for the big day after 15days & i am so scared. I need to know ur experience which might help me get confidence. So did u take epidurel? Is it necessary to take it? Did u have a good experience if u have taken it? When they induce what is the method they used for u/did they give some tablet to eat or just applied some gel? How was the dr's support during delivery? In india they dont take husbands along but here they do come/ so do u think His support is most important that time or its okey even if he is not in? Pls let me know all this whenevr possible. I am very scared for the epidurel. I only dream of a normal natural delivery but i guess ive to be prepared.........Take care & love to ur little Rohit. Anupama replied. Dear Vidhya,

Congrats to you! It must have been a relief to you when you finally delivered a cute little baby boy! Here, all the rest of us are waiting for the D-Day. Looks like we have been pregnant for ever!
My due date is 15th Sept., but doc says be prepared by end of August as my elder son was born 15 days earlier to the date.
All the best to you and Rohit! If possible,( ie when you or your hubby has the time, do post snaps on this site ).
bye.
