MY PERSONAL BIRTHING EXPERIENCE
I am the proud mother of 4 children. I had c-sections with all my children, however the last one was different from all the others and subsequently my baby girl acted a little differently from the others. :) I was scheduled to have my little "Morgan" on Monday, May 18th, however at the time I did not know whether she would be a boy or girl because with everyone ultra sound she appeared butt up. I started having contraction on Saturday morning , they progressed by early evening and I went to the hospital per the doctor on call orders. After being examined and monitored I was sent home and told I could wait for my scheduled c-section on Monday. Morgan was not having this , I had a restless night by Sunday morning she was letting me know that she was to make her appearance. The doctor on call was really trying to prevent me delivering and wanted to wait for my scheduled c-section ( coincidentally when my doctor would return from vacation. The labor was very intense, which I had only truly experienced with the first pregnancy, Morgan made her appearance, on Sunday , May 17th 1998 @ 1:12 P.M., very demanding and impatient. After returning from the recovery room, my husband shared with me how was a little fussy , until he changed shoulders he had her own, when he switched again she started up again until he put her back on her preferred shoulder. I couldn't believe my ears, when I called down to the nurses station to inquire why she hadn't been brought down to me I was told she appeared to be fine but had a rapid heart beat and they were monitoring. When I later question the nurses about this they informed me that Morgan appeared to be fussy or agitated the way they had her position in the baby bed but she checked out fine medically.
Flash forward almost 14 years, Morgan is a very impatient and determined child and wants things done when she wants it done.She excels in school , sports , dance etc. I knew she was different from the very start, but I wouldn't trade her any one else!
I love this birth story, another wonderful miracle of nature. Nature will not be bound by schedules or appointments.Blessings to you and your daughter and family.
