Baby is coming
 

We are headed to the hospital. There is only one doctor in Houston that will let me deliver naturally, after 3 c-sections. Please pray that everything goes well.

Re: Baby is comming
 

Our prayers are with you.
All the best with the delivery.

Let us know how everything went.

Re: Baby is comming
 

Praying right now!

Sis. Kae,

May the One who formed that little one in your womb, watch over and give
you a safe delivery, in Jesus Name! If He delivered Israel out of Egypt, surely
HE can give this little one a safe passage too! IS ANYTHING TOO hard for our
GOD!

Blessings,

Re: Baby is coming
 

Yikes! You do realize there is a reason why only one Dr. will do that in a city of millions. It is very dangerous and not medically advisible.

However despite what I see as poor judgement on your part I will be praying for you that all goes well.

Re: Baby is coming
 

Praying in Jesus name that you and the baby will be safe.

Re: Baby is coming
 

Will be praying Kae...hope all goes well!

Re: Baby is coming
 

Agreed. It is more dangerous but in our hospital we do them.....but watch very carefully!!!!

Will be praying.

Kae,

Have a safe delivery and a healthy baby and a huge DQ Blizzard when the baby is here safe and sound.

Come back and share pictures soon!

Re: Baby is coming
 

After being at the hospital for five hours labor stopped and they sent me home. If I was going to have a c-section they would have kept me. So a little more waiting. Thank You for your prayers.

Re: Baby is coming
 

I about died when I saw you name had posted!

Well, God be with you!!!

Re: Baby is coming
 

I am well aware of the risks and am quite comfortable with the physician that will be doing the delivery. He isn't a novice and is the head teaching obgyn at the medical school. He doesn't delivery babies anymore unless it is an unusual case and I fall into that category. He will do everything possible for a vbac and the c-section will be a last resort.

Me too!

I was thinking, the last thing I was doing a day after delivery was posting on AFF.

:toofunny


Hope you go soon Kae!!

Re: Baby is coming
 

Have you researched this? The main reason doctors won't do VBACs is liability. There are risks, but a C-section is also more risky than a natural delivery.

Re: Baby is coming
 

Praying all is well for both you and the baby!

(My wife stuck baby gold yesterday! She saw a garage sale sign in our neighborhood and bought a brand new looking fancy stroller that must have
retailed for a couple of hundred dollars for just $25.00 and a bunch of girl infant clothes that are like new for almost nothing.)

Re: Baby is coming
 

I am not going to hijack this thread for a discussion on this so this is my last comment. The issue here is not a C section vs natural delivery. It is that the mother previously has had multiple C sections which changes the bodies ability to safely go back to natural child birth. That is exactly why almost no hospitals will do it - liability, just as you stated and for good reason.

Re: Baby is coming
 

praying for you.

Re: Baby is coming
 

Praying for you and baby and family - and doctor!

Re: Baby is coming
 

What about the nurses?

Re: Baby is coming
 

Pssst....don't you know we don't do anything but empty bedpans? :whistle

Re: Baby is coming
 

I had a natural birth and everything went well. I ended up taking my son into the emergency room on the 3rd for an asthma attack. Well I ended up in labor while he was there and had to leave him and go to another hospital an hour away. Thankfully my sister was able to stay with him.

My doctor was on vacation and wasn't available. There was another doctor on who had worked closely with my doctor and felt that a vbac would be a better option than a 4th c-section. The baby was more at risk with a vbac and I was more at risk with a 4th c-section. I had previously had 4 vbac's which made it a better option, even though my last 2 births had been c-sections.

At the end I was worried I was going to end up with a c-section when the baby's heart beat went down and they couldn't get it back up. It was amazing how fast the room filled up with people and they went to work. I was at a 9 and went to a 10 within minutes, then pushed the baby out in 6 minutes. He was blue and gray and not breathing. They got him breathing and his color returned. The cord had been wrapped around his neck. His apgar scores were 7 and 8. He ended up in the high risk nursery for about 4 hours. He was fine after that.

I had another boy which makes 6 now. We didn't find out what we were having till he was born. The nurse asked if I would like to know what the baby was and I said no, I already knew. I had been hoping for another girl, but as soon as he was born I knew it was a boy. Of course after all that work it doesn't matter what the baby is.

He was born Aug 4. weighed 8lbs 4oz. 21" long.

Re: Baby is coming
 

A 4th c-section has more risks that then first three. I was unaware of this until I went into labor. My labor stopped again after I had been at the hospital and since my water had broken there was no going back. My risks went from 1% risk of uterine rupture to a 7% risk because of the need to be induced with pitocin. The doctor said in her 15 years of doing vbac's she hadn't seen anyone rupture with pitocin. She also said that didn't mean that I wouldn't be her first. Thankfully I wasn't.

Re: Baby is coming
 

Kae, congrats!!! Are you willing to provide pics?

This makes 8 or 9 for you, right? A girl in my nursing class was allowed to finish her clinicals early because she had her 9th baby in March.

You know the Duggars are pregnant with their 18th and due the first of the year? Wondering if you were hoping to catch up....LOL!

Re: Baby is coming
 

Re: Baby is coming
 

:D

Congrats all the same.

When I was young, I wanted 5 kids. I still wish I'd had more, but I only had opportunity to have 2.

Re: Baby is coming
 

Who are these brave people??????:blink

Re: Baby is coming
 

Re: Baby is coming
 

Mrs.....read slowly.....this is #8, just the sixth boy. You need some coffee.:tease

Re: Baby is coming
 

I happened to catch about the last 15 minutes of a show on them last night. It was narrated by their oldest son, and showcasing their new house that they built. It took them over 3 years to get it finished. It's nice.

Re: Baby is coming
 

Oh! Oopsies!!! :blush I'm sorry, I only have a few minutes with my morning coffee here, then it's off to get ready for work. I didn't read the whole thing. :razz

Sooooooo what should I call her now? SUPER Brave? EXTRA-ORDINARY Brave? DYNA-WHOPPIN' Brave? :lol

Re: Baby is coming
 

Oh I know who they are now. I thought this was some UPC couple when H.O. threw their name out.

Re: Baby is coming
 

I call her a better momma than me. After two, my quiver was FULL.

Re: Baby is coming
 

My lands-a-goshen! No kidding! We knew 2 months after our boy was born that we were DONE! He was one huge handful and probably made up about 3 of Kae's boys!!! :toofunny

He's one of the sweetest kids you'll ever meet, but sooooo full of energy which almost always ended up in TROUBLE! :lol

Re: Baby is coming
 

So glad all went well. Lots of us were praying for you and the baby,blessings to you.

Re: Baby is coming
 

They almost are!! Ever seen their shows?

Re: Baby is coming
 

Awesome! congrats

Re: Baby is coming
 

CONGRATS, Kae and family!!

I'm glad to hear that everything went ok. Hope your son with the asthma attack is doing better too.

But, Sister, let me ask you - 8 kids and you still have time to post here on AFF?? You are the most amazing person I've ever had the pleasure of knowing!
