Lexi Nikole is here!

[NicoleW09]

After 18 hours of labor with about 30 minutes of pushing, baby Lexi was born at 10:29 am on Dec 9th. My epidural only worked on one side and I had bad back labor. My heartrate jumped into the 150's after my epidural and it was scary. I have a second degree tear and they still ended up giving me an episiotomy. :( I lost aa lot of blood so I'm on iron pills as well. She's doing good nursing and getting her latch down. She weighed 7lbs even and was 19.5" long. She doesn't cry much and mainly just wants to sleep constantly.

YOU DID AWESOME :)  If you're having trouble with the breastfeeding, I'd recommend speaking with a lactation consultant, even having one come to you so that you can have Lexi's latch evaluated.  Good luck, girl :))

We are definitely starting to get into the swing of things, but we're having troubles breastfeeding. She'll refuse to latch or she'll only nurse for a short amount of time and she'll refuse again. :(

Welcome Lexi!!

Sounds like my labour. Except mine was longer and worse. 36h contractions. 45 mins pushing. 3rd degree tear. Epidural froze half until the 3rd dose then I got it all.
although my baby was a month early so she still can't latch so i'm pumping for now :(
I hope she latches.
