Baby Cora birth story
So I'm finally taking a moment to tell you my birth story. On 2/17/16 at2:30 I woke up to pee like normal, I had gone to the doctor earlier that day and she did a stress test on the baby to make sure she was good. And she also scrape my membranes that day so I went home you know I went to bed relaxed and at 3:15 am I woke up to this rushing of water I had thought I had peed in my pants until I got up and saw my bloody show in my bed mind you I have white sheets so I was already mad, and then went to the bathroom to try to clean up. Put a pad in trying to help with the leaking which did absolutely nothing. Called my fiance at work because he works overnight luckily for me he was on break and have them to have not gone outside yet and told his supervisor can you send mark home my water has broken mark called me when he was in the car on the way here I said I'm not having any contractions my water just broke so just take your time and get here. Call my mother no answer. Called my father no answer. Called my sister who is 16 mind you and lives by her phone no answer. So lucky for me my grandmother lives in the house and still has a landline call the house phone my grandmother answers can you please go wake up my mother and let her know that my water has broken and that I will be going to hospital shortly. Get to the hospital they're checking her heart rate you know everything is good except the heart rate isn't where it should be I was up far too high so they did an ultrasound to make sure the baby's head was still down it was not. Come to find out a week before she had flipped and I didn't realize it because at 34 weeks she was head down ready to go. So after confirming that she was now breach they had the doctor come in and discus having a csection and by 9 o'clock I was in the o.r getting my epidural which sucked I never want one again. And have my fiance come in after I'm number and at 9:47 Cora Lee was here! And mark looked at me and said SHE LOOKS LIKE ME! I couldn't wait to see her. And then they brought her over asked if I wanted to hold her but the drugs that they gave me made me feel week and a little funny and the way I was laying know the table I didn't feel comfortable so mark got to hold her for 45 minutes while they put me back together witch to me was great Cuz they bonded right away and I was going to breast feed anyway so I'd still get to bond with her and have that skin to skin. But I'll never forget when I first saw her she was absolutely gorgeous and perfect her skin was so perfect and clear her head was perfectly round, I couldn't imagine how I made something so beautiful. All the nurses and doctors looked at her and we're even like she's perfect. So now she's 6 weeks old.
