I'm a few days behind, but Nugget has made her appearance, with a few extra days of baking. My indecisiveness ensured that I delivered med-free, even after I caved and requested the epidural - too late for that. Nugget came fast and furious, but has been pretty calm and laid-back since. Nursing like a champ from the beginning. The hubs and I apparently have a skewed view of baby size as a result of having toddlers, as we discovered later that we both thought she was tiny when she was born.
Stats: 8 lbs, 7 oz. 22 inches long. 14-inch head. No growth problems due to the circumvallate placenta here. The OB did show the hubs and I the membrane on the placenta, which was quite sizable, and did say that it did appear from examination that it was circumvallate, but he sent it to pathology to verify as well. It was so nice to have such a mundane outcome from something that Dr. Google suggested could be very concerning.
