An Addition to the Labor Meme

Posted in Family Life
The Weights:
#1 - 7 lbs 5 oz  -  female baby
#2 - 7 lbs 6 oz  -  female baby
#3 - 10 lbs 11 oz  -  male child
#4 - 8 lbs 6 oz I think  -  female baby
#5 - 10 lbs 6 oz  -  male child

Oh, and I forgot to mention, for those who don't know me, that the third pregnancy and delivery ended in a neo-natal death.  He lived for 12 days!  So I am expecting our #6!!  But we will have 5 living children then!  Just an FYI.

I'm so sorry to hear that you lost a child. That must be terrible for you and your family. What happened? Do you think it would have made a difference if he had been born in a hospital? I am pregnant and am hoping for a home birth so am doing research.

Sep. 4, 2008 - Annoymous, sorry you didn't leave a name.

The neurologist said that we would have lost him regardless of where he was born. He had the cord around his neck very very tight (my midwife hadn't seen one tighter) and he had shoulder dystocia. The neurologist said they suspected that he had been without oxygen for approximately 15 minutes, based on the amount of brain damage.

Please continue to educate yourself. Get answers but not just from doctors. They won't tell you everything. Look at midwifery. Look at tonnes of birth sites. Ask lots of questions. Feel free to email me.

Sincerely, LaDonna.
