Catch #15:
Sheila Mae. She was wonderful. She came in around 7:00 am on a day shift with her sister as her bantay (watcher). She did a wonderful job laboring. She walked, she did squats, she did nipple stim, and she did "kiay-kiay" or hip swaying. She had a couple different instances of leaking fluid, then one clear rupture with light meconuim staining. Within 10 minutes at 10:10am her beautiful baby girl was born. Angel Mae born on 2/7/12 weighed 2900 g (i think...this is off the top of my head) and is precious. Over all, it was an uneventful birth. No tear, no hemorrhage, and no other peculiarities. Oh, Angel did have a rather flat head at birth, but i just saw her today and it is much more rounded and normal in appearance. Thank you Jesus!!
Catch #16:
Novie...dear Novie Grace. She seemed pretty in control at first, but when her labor began to become more intense with contractions so did she! Although her bana (husband - but they are live-in) was there and so was her mom she never liked being in the cubicle without a midwife. Wow! Talk about intense. Like, you run out of the cubicle to grab the chart that is all of 5 steps aways and the result is a resounding wail the sounds throughout the birth room. Poor mom's sitting there just waiting for there baby check-ups.
However, all that being said, she did so well when it came time to push. Even in laboring, she did well, but it was rather intense. She listened to instructions throughout her pushing stage and didn't even tear. Not a bit! Her precious little boy does have a caput (like a large bruise of pooled blood on the scalp) from a long pushing stage and he didn't want to breath upon birth! So, we had to work with that. We prayed over him and intrust him to Jesus' care. If you think of him, pray for him. He's doing pretty well now, although he's been difficult to nurse. Some kids just are that way (do i hear agreement from some moms out there?!) Here's a picture of the little guy:
