We had an exciting Sunday January 3rd morning with a first time mom who was finally in "true labor" after having two "false" alarms! She did amazing and started pushing after only 6 hours of labor. However when her water broke we had meconium stained fluid and 45minutes of pushing stressed this little boy out. We transferred into the hospital and got an epidural within 20minutes. Little Cooper's heart rate was better and Jen got to rest a little. She "Labored down" for 3 hours but Cooper didn't budge through the pelvis and he was talking to us through his heart beat which was beginning to drop with each contraction lower and lower. Dr Boulting was amazing in that he gave them time and included them in on the decision making process. Cooper was born at 13o5 via c/s and his little hand was the first thing that popped out. The cord was around his neck once as well which may have caused the decels. Mom and baby are well! We are sooo proud of you Jen and Tim! Cooper is beautiful.
