We Had a BABY! 🐣🌸 Presenting Our Firstborn Daughter Aurelia (Nickname: Relly Doll)

👶 Our Birth Story: Labour & Delivery in Calgary

Curious about what really happens in a first-time birth? Here’s a chronological breakdown of our journey—from arriving at the hospital to meeting little Aurelia. Perfect for anyone planning a Calgary labour & delivery!

Showtime Arrives

Late-night check-in at Labour & Delivery

Initial cervical check: 5 cm dilated—right on time

Staying Calm Through Contractions

Focused on breathing exercises and bouncing on a yoga ball

Tried gas & air (nitrous oxide) before making pain-relief decisions

Room Tour + Birth Plan

Settled into a bright, quiet delivery suite with river views

Birth plan: all-natural, minimal intervention—yet open to options

Epidural Breakthrough

After 12 h of strong contractions with no rest, we opted for an epidural

Miraculous 95 % pain relief—finally able to rest & recharge

Almost There: 9.5 cm Dilation

Afternoon check: cervix nearly fully dilated

Contractions less intense but still effective—ready to start pushing

The Pushing “Marathon”

Spent 2 hours pushing in various positions (squat, side-lying, classic supine)

Aurelia’s head stalled behind the pubic bone—progress was slow

Forceps to the Rescue

Senior obstetrician joined the team to assess the stalled labour

Forceps-assist used confidently—just 2 final pushes needed

Welcome, Aurelia!

8:45 pm: Our daughter arrived safely

Immediate skin-to-skin bonding & first breast latch

Postpartum Perks

Free “newborn care” classes on feeding, diapering & soothing

Nurse-station “nap break”: Aurelia stayed soundly at the nurses’ station, parents snuck in 2 hours of blissful sleep

Homecoming & Dog-First Impression

Dog Togo’s “welcome sniff” by the front door 🐾

Quiet car ride home—1 hour of “aww” and happy tears

Key Takeaways

Flexibility matters: a birth plan can—and often will—evolve on the spot

Expert care + positive staff vibes = a smoother experience

“Natural” ≠ “no help”: epidurals & assisted delivery tools are there to support mum & Aurelia
