Is male or female?

Congratulations Maza.

Keep us updated.

(Your wife delivered already? Boy or girl?)

errrr... can you tell me why?

Don't they do that when a baby is born or was that a urban legend I was told?

They don't do it much anymore, but some doctors still do. They slap them on the bottom or the back in order to make them cry so they clear out their throat and lungs. Now they usually use the suction thingy to get the fluid out.

oh.. I get it.

Thanks didn't think I was going nuts...yet.

congrats maza. keep us updated.

Congrats Maza!!

Any news yet on the NEW wee one?

Hi guys
Thanks on the good wishes.

It was all really shocking and I was like this for a long while that goes from the moment I opened this thread until right about now

This is our second one. So we re not first timers. But oh boy was I not prepared for what happened. Contractions started hapenning every 5 minutes so we were headed to hospital. By the time we were in the car, they were every 3 minutes, by the time we got to the hospital they were every 1 minute (we live 3 blocks away of the hospital) and by the time we got to the delivery room it was all one big contraction. No time for our doctor to arrive on time, no time to ask for some aneasthetic drug, no time for my wife to even lie down in her bed. We walked in the room and 30 seconds later she had our baby. She was still standing up. I was like, hey, this can't be happening. This contraction will go away and then she'll lie down and we'll get some order into this chaos. Nope, baby was in a hurry to get out and out she came just like that.

I'm still

Then, we were waiting to go home (after 1 hour of having arrived to the hospital ) and blood results came and stated that baby had high bilurrubin level. So we had to put her on the lamp I was so shocked and angry and sad to seeing her there all by herself and I think I might have been a jackass with some of the nurses/doctors, but I hope they can understand me

Now she is still in the lamp, bilirrubin levels went a bit down which is great, and we still don't know how many days she'll have to stay like this. Her mummy is breatfeeding her every 3 hours so it's not like she doesnt have any warmth and love coming her way anyways.

What sucked though, is that we still didn't introduce her to her bigger sister. We thought the sight of a little baby inside a plastic chamber and glowing all blue could be somewhat impressive for a toddler.

Anyways, that's news for now. I hope we can get her home soon. Her name is Petra for those who asked. I really want to have her home. See you later

Congratulations on the birth of Petra.What a pretty name .

It all sounds very traumatic for you.

Hopefully you will all be together within a couple of days


I will be thinking of you all.Keep us upto date Maza

Congratulations on your new baby girl Maza and Mrs Maza.

Wow, that was fast...lucky you got there in time, even if it was just on time.

You can sit back now and take it all in

I'll have a cold one for you to help wet the baby's head

hey maza.. what is bilurrubin ?

yeah. tell us more about it and cogratulations to you and nice name there.

Congratulations, maza!



Bilirubin is what a substance produced by the breakdown of red blood cells and hemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.

High amounts of bilirubin causes jaundice but it's not uncommon in newborns

congratulations maza

Wow she has a brain in that head too

Huh...the FAMILY spirit here is just bringing TEARS to my eyes. Congratulations on baby Petra and hope that she can be back home with you folks soon.

Congratulations Maza family and Best Wishes for speedy homecoming for sweet baby Petra!

Exactly. Google for more info. I'm going to hospital now to meet with wife and baby again. My mood is up and down. I just want them to be home hospitals suck

later

Marcos, all 4 of my boys had the same thing.
Petra will soon be with you all.Don't worry
.Blessings on her sweet little head.
Congratulations again to you all.

Congradualtions! That's the fastest "birth" story I've ever heard of!

I'm sure everything will be fine very soon. Keep us posted.

Congratulations, Maza! Petra is a beautiful name.

Before you know it, we'll have to open an MMG family nursery, with pictures and regular reports and all.... first smiles, first steps, birthdays.... There have been lots of blessed events since I've been a member here.

Nursery?
Does that include those already born?

Hope MMG is around 10 years from now for mine

Congratulations! And I love the name Petra!

Wow, what an experience! But you will have them both home soon I hope

Give them both a huge hug from all of us.

Congrats Maza!

I hope you get to bring her home soon.

Hi guys. Things were looking better today. Bilrubin levels were a bit lower. Fingers crossed tomorrow will be even lower I'm exhausted, going to sleep.

I'm barely in contact with the outside world these days but I heard about the new terrorist attacks.

, is all I have to say about that

Well, they took all lamps off. She's all by herself now and hopefully will be home by tomorrow. Don't want to celebrate yet...

Congratulation maza !.
