Labor and Delivery








A very eventful labor ending with a beautiful baby boy, they ended up needing to use the vacuum after thinking they were going to need to do a emergency c-section because of the baby's heart rate to drop down too low. We ended up delivering okay with a fabulous epidural. After the baby came out they took the baby to the area set up for him and suctioned all the mess out of his lungs and it took a second for him to make any noise. I was finally able to hold him after they decided he is fine and it was wonderful.
It was about 20 minutes of pushing and he was born at 2:07AM on August 8th. They gave him a very thorough bath in the room and trimmed his nails and I was able to hold him from that point on. Our mother and baby room was so very cozy and heard to leave in the end. We had a great experience and bonded with baby in that room and were completely taken care of. Nautas had his hearing tests and was circumcised before we left and we were instructed on care and everything to make us feel confident. It was a great experience and everything turned out perfect in the end. We have a beautiful baby boy that we are very proud of and feel like the luckiest parents in the world!
