Colt Bridger is here

Colt Bridger was born on June 28th at 9:18 pm. I started labor at 7 am on Wednesday the 27th. I wasn't dilating but they let me labor for over 30 hours until I was a 10. Then they let me push for 2.5 hours until exhaustion took over and the doctor told me I wasn't going to be able to have the baby vaginally. I was so out of it and upset I don't remember anything after that until I was in recovery with my little guy. If it wasn't for my mother and may husband I would have completely lost it. But now that I have my little guy sleeping here next to me at the hospital I am content.

Thanks all!!

Babyiish- Colt was 7 lbs 14 oz and 21.25 inches long. When I was pushing my husband said he could see the head but I guess after I stopped pushing he would go all the way back in. I started passing out between contractions because I was so worn out. My husband said that the dr told him the baby was face up and it made it harder for the baby to get through. Also During labor my kidneys were failing and the dr couldn't figure out why. After pushing for that long I guess I was doing so poorly that it was an emergency and they had to do the c-section.

How big was your baby? What happen why a c-section? :/
My dr also wanted to cut...but my husband was there he saw the baby's head and he said the baby is not that big ... I also spend 3hrs pushing until he came out...it took sooo long 3hrs because we didn't know his leg and neck was tied with the umbilical cord and his heart dropped a few times towards the end...my baby was 7lbs 14oz and 19.5 in long....I felt like giving up and passing out... Thank god is all over and I had a healthy baby boy..
oh well...whatever it takes... :)

Congratulations..!!!!
Baby boy yayy
