My baby d...Beautiful baby and Mom and a nice story.<br />My baby did this too, pooped while inside. It was funny because I did have a feeling of bile in the pit of my stomach a few days earlier but I never put two and two together. I should have called the doctor.<br />When the water broke it too came out thick so the doctor flew me into surgery right away .I had no chance to think or say anything. It was the easiest baby I ever had. I woke up and my husband was running along side my bed and he said he's beautiful, before I fell asleep again, with a smile on my face.<br />In my room I finally got a chance to see him and the first thing you do is undress them to check 5 fingers, five toes and if all the body parts are perfectly made.<br />Then you spend the next year just looking at this angelic face. At least I did.You can't believe what you created.Truly a miracle.:)A Lady's Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11973102350411443282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-45626563489941976682009-04-30T06:21:00.000-05:002009-04-30T06:21:00.000-05:00I just kept reading faster and faster and praying ...I just kept reading faster and faster and praying (like it hadn't already happened).

I've attended several births as a doula and yours sounds like the worst one I was at, which also happened to be my first. Hers did end in a C-sect. <br /><br />I can hear there are other things that have unfolded where you were able to use all this preparation and I can't wait to hear what they are. What a wonderful story teller you are.
