I was told when my daughter was born that she would have some white vaginal discharge for about 2 weeks and that it was normal and not to worry. Well, she did have that for a little bit but it went away. She is now 3 weeks and I have noticed that she is having morevaginal discharge. It is different from before. It is slightly yellowish/greenish (very light in color) and sometimes I can see it inher diaper when I change her. Other times I only see it on her. Anyway, I dont know if this is normal. Any thoughts?

Beatrice Rose has arrived!

Well Ladies, my little bundle of joy arrived yesterday afternoon...at 38 1/2 weeks. SHE IS SO CUTE!

My story goes a little something like this. Tuesday evening, after finishing what I needed to do for work (maternity leave wise) and doing my MAJOR baby shopping trip, I went to bed with a backache and a bit of cramping. Thought it was because I had exerted myself with all of the shopping. Not so much.

At 1:15 am I got up to go to the bathroom...completely normal. Emptied the bladder, got back into bed, had a few more cramps, then a little gush. Not a lot, but it was wet. Honestly, I didn't know what had happened. I really thought I had somehow managed to pee myself, although it didn't feel like pee coming out. It also didn't smell like pee...but I'd had a lot of water in the day.

Anyway, I changed underwear and crawled back into bed, at which point I realized I was having fairly regular cramping every 5-6 minutes. Kind of panicked there, as I realized what was going on. Went to the bathroom again and my mucus plug was fully coming out. Mine totally looked like EWCM with some blood streaks in it. At that point I wondered if my cramping had to do with the mucus plug rather than delivery. Called the doctor around 2am. She said that I needed to come in immediately if I was even suspicious my water had broken. So, at 2:30 am my hubby and I left for the hospital.

Upon arrival I was checked and told my water had definitely broken. Again, panic set it.

At this point I was having 45 sec. contractions every 4-6 minutes. But, I was still only 90% effaced and 1 cm dilated. So, I had a long way to go. Since I was in some pain and I was a bit anxious, I got a lovely narcotic...which seemed to slow down the contractions.

So, at about 10 am my doctor came it and asked if she could serve me up some oxytocin. Since I was Strep B +, and my water had broken, they wanted to get the show on the road.

It took a lot of oxytocin, but, finally, things got moving. REALLY moving. The narcotic had completely worn off by this point, so I was feeling the contractions hard core. And, truth be told, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Don't get me wrong...it is pain...but the fact that they come and go does help. You forget about that. Oh, and, before they got too bad, I got more narcotics, followed by an epideral. Epiderals, btw, are awesome.

I don't know if I really slept, but I was in and out a bit for a couple of hours...no pain. Then, at about 2:15pm I had some pretty bad pressure on my rectum. It felt like contractions all over again...painful, but doable. The fact I was having these pains made my nurse suspect I was getting close, so she checked, and I was between 9 an 10 cm. I kept on with the rectum pain for another half hour or so, at which point she checked me again, and it was time to push!

I have to admit, pushing was harder than I thought it would be. I don't really remember pain associated with it, but it was EXHAUSTING. Still, 45 minutes later, and my sweet, sweet little girl was born.

Beatrice Rose. We love her so.

Thanks to all at FertilityTies for supporting me while TTC, throughout my pregnancy, and listening to my very, very long child birthing story. :)

Is this a normal newborn thing? Or something else?

When Christian is falling asleep.. his eyes twitch a lot.. and he looks around, sometimes in opposite directions, rolls his eyes back in his head... he "smiles", makes "o's" with his mouth, and opens his mouth wide, flicks his tongue in and out. He makes grunts, gasps, and occasionally yells a loud "Ahh!!" and kinda bends his legs and chest towards eachother and then back out stiffly. He also will breathe rapidly for a few seconds and then slow to a normal breathing..

I guess I've never really watched a baby fall asleep until now.. but I'm not sure if its normal or not? It freaks me out a little!
