HE'S HERE! Please welcome... Dexter David Mitchell!
Hello everyone!
I have only been home a couple of hours with my boy who was born only 16 hours ago - but I wanted to share the quick version of the details for all of you who were waiting for news :) I think it best I just share the details I gave to my birth buddy group a few minutes ago :)
Birth Date: 4/3/08 !!!
Time Of Birth: 1:10am
Gestation At Birth: 42w 4d
Sex Of Baby: Boy
Name: Dexter David
Birth Weight kg's: 2885kg (tiny boy!)
Birth Weight lbs: 6lb 6oz
Head Circumference: 33cm
Length: 48cm
Home Or Hospital: 46 hour labour at home; 7+hours in hospital
Type Of Delivery: Vaginal
Pain Relief: Epidural (after most of the work was done, mind you!)
Comments: We ended up transferring to hospital from our home birth & requesting induction and an epidural as spurious labour was going on nearly 2 days and I had NO energy and cervix still only 2cm dilated and baby only 2/5 engaged - but then all of a sudden spontaneous labour kicked in 2 hours after we got to hospital, and he was born after epidural, but before induction began. Back home after only a few hours in hospital (or 12 hours after he was born, didn't even stay the night as I didn't leave the birth suite till 7am for various reasons)
I will share the FULL story very soon - if he keeps sleeping the day away that is! :)
