They're covered with hair after they're born, too. It is just much more fine. My youngest had black hair on her back, it was awesome.

Yeah, mine too. Sad thing is that its in all the places I have hair. Back, chest, ears, etc... I have a feeling hes gonna be one hairy dude. At 11 he already has a pronounced mustache type fuzz.

My other kid? Compete opposite. Not one hair on him at birth and it was funny because he was bald until he was like 2yrs old.

My wife's due date is this saturday and pre-labor signs haven't even started yet (mucus plug, water breaking, "lightening" or "dropping"). Getting kind of antsy, all this waiting is messing with my head.

I had none of those at all. My doctor had to break my water every time because it just doesn't break on its own for me. Honestly what worked for me to get labor going was getting my doctor to scrape my membranes. I delivered the next day with all 3 kids after getting it done and was 4-7 days early with all of them. Some doctors don't like doing it but I asked because once you get close to your due date, you just want the kid OUT. At this point, there is absolutely no harm in delivering so it doesn't hurt to ask if she has an appointment in the next day or so.

Congratulations, D. It's an experience to help deliver, and it feels good to be there for your woman. And seeing your child's head come into this world is absolutely magic, nothing quite like it

Exciting! Hope it all goes well and it isn't too hard on your wife. And don't worry, she'll forget just how painful it is in a year or so. Good luck!

So my wife's delivery was like the easiest on record or something for our OB. She pushed like 5 times and the baby popped out.

So this is pretty fucked up, I'm sitting in the hospital right now with me 29?week pregnant wife. Here's how we got to this situation:

She goes in for her general checkup today, and the doctor ends up sending her to the hospital for 24hour monitoring due to high blood pressure and the risk for preclampsyia(sp?). I am kinda freaked out, but that's fairly common so whatever. Has an ultrasound, measurements look fine, etc. So I run home to get her overnight bag for the stay and she calls me all hysterical saying that an ambulance is taking her to another hospital with a better high risk maternity ward, and that the baby is only in the 2nd percentile for size which is an emergency and they may have to induce labor ASAP.

W T F

So I race to the new hospital to meet her ambulance there, and we get her into a room, and and doctors and nurses are swarming everywhere, and and we are freaking the he'll out. They are running tests, and and we are asking a million questions and I finally ask why the ultrasound just 2 hours earlier measured the baby as fine if it's in the 2nd percentile. They kinda stop and dig that paperwork up and start examining it. They finally agree that the measurables(head, femur, abdomen, etc.) look fine, but they don't know why this is flagged as lowest 2% in size. They do another ultrasound, remeasure everything, and this computer, with the same measurements, spits out 40th percentile, which is basically average.

So the entire panic, transfer, and darn near early enduced delivery was apparently some sort of weird computer glitch on the first ultrasound machine when calculating the results.

So we are still spending the night at the hospital but will more than likely just end up going home tomorrow with some blood pressure medication, and hopefully waiting 10 more weeks for delivery like we should.

Wow sorry to hear about that. Can't imagine going through that.

I found out AFTER the fact that during my wife's C-section they nicked a major artery and had to give her several bags of blood while they tried to fix it. Nurse came out to me while I was in the nursery with my 20 minute old son and straight up lied to my face about why finishing up with her was going to take 3x as long as they had originally told us.

Sorry to hear that you had all that drama - its a good thing though that her doctor sent her over initially to the first hospital if she's showing signs of pre-eclampsia. That shits no joke so you know you have a doctor that's really taking good care of your wife and baby

Do you mind mentioning which hospital?

The St Lukes hospitals in Kansas City. My wife actually ended up staying. The 24-hour urine collection ended up showing higher than acceptable levels of protein. Although so far, her blood pressure has been fine, she has no symptoms(no headaches, no cramps, no vision problems) and the baby is actually right at average size(within the margin of error on all measurements, so nothing is actually low or high, estimated weight is 2lbs 8oz which is right at where you should be at 29-30 weeks). They did go ahead and diagnose her with mild pre-eclampsia, even though the only symptom she's showing right now is the high protein levels, and they specifically told us that you generally need to be showing multiple indicators to get diagnosed for sure. From the way the doctors talk, she's probably going to end up staying in the hospital until she delivers which could be another 4-7 weeks. Sucks that they can't just send her home for bedrest, since her case looks relatively mild(if she even has it at all, which I do question)

Oh well, she's in the hospital that has the absolute best premature care unit in the city, so I guess better safe than sorry, I'm just not looking forward to my wife being in a hospital that is 30 minutes away from our home for the next 1-2 months.
