Lily May

Well it has been awhile since Lily was born. I have been spending time in Idaho with my parents while I got better from some post delivery issues. After 12 hours of labor i ended up with a hematoma that was excruciatingly painful. Of course, my epidural had started wearing off right before i had to push and then had no numbing when the hematoma occurred. I had been in labor for 11-1/2 hours and only dilated to a 5. They were worried about having to do a repeat C-section because she was showing signs of possible distress. Luckily, I dilated from a 5 to a 10 in 30 minutes because the little girl had decided to wrap the cord around her neck three times. I am so glad that things turned out okay. I guess i will just have to be wary about cord issues with future pregnancies. It seems like a recurring theme for me.
