I debated just keeping this post simple, but ultimately decided everyone likes to read a birth story so here you go. My pregnancy was relatively uncomplicated and easy with the exception of the 9 weeks at the beginning I suffered through some intense nausea when I had a hard time keeping anything down. Well into my second trimester I started feeling great and actually enjoyed being pregnant at some points, which never really happened for my first.
The picture above is me 9 months pregnant.
At my 36 week appointment I mentioned to the doctor I was a lot smaller than I had been with my first. I started losing some weight at the end and I spent the next 3 weeks going 3 non-stress tests and 2 ultrasounds per week to make sure the baby was still growing and didn’t have
IUGR
. Although she was small, we ultimately decided to leave her in until 39 weeks and then induce me.
I don’t know how I luck out with easy deliveries but I thank my lucky stars every time I hear a labor or c-section horror story that both my babies only took pushing through 2 contractions to come out.
Kate is tiny and perfect. She took me a couple days to figure out but is an angel baby and hardly ever cries. She has long dirty-blonde hair and big blue eyes. She is just what we needed in our family and I couldn’t be happier.
