48hrs later
So I went in on a Saturday evening at 5pm. I was 40 weeks and 2 days past my due date. I was put on bed rest because I had shown signs of preclampsia. It was recommended that I got induced for the health of baby girl and I. There were some serious risk if my blood pressure went up any higher. I had such a hard time accepting that I would have to get induced cause i was considered high risk. My whole pregnancy was a healthy one until the very end that's when things got a lil bumpy. I had prayed and had high expectations to do it all natural. I was still determined to go natural even if I got induced...I also wasn't dilating I was 1cm for like ever! But my contractions were coming in before they induced me they gave me a this thing we're it looks like a tampon and they place it in your cervix and it's soppose to rippen and heat it up and just help make me dilate. It takes 12 hrs to start doing its thing! By then my contractions were pretty strong. When they checked me I still was only dilated 1cm. So we moved forward with the inducing! Nurse recommended I get the epidural! I said no! I was still determine to go natural despite all the other things happening! Well once the contractions hot even stronger from being induced my blood pressure shot up to 170! Now I was at risk of a seizure! So I decided to get the epidural cause i didn't want any harm to come apon baby girl and i! Now on day two my doctor broke my water bag found that the baby had pooped pretty bad inside my womb so they did a flush through my ivy. Still wasn't dilating! And now I broken out into a fever! Was put on antibiotics along with magnesium sulfate for my high blood pressure. Seriously with all the bags I was hooked up to i looked like a Christmas Tree! I was in alot pain even with the epidural! I got into a mind of prayer and asked God to give me strength to endure through this labor. I started speaking the word of God into my situation. With no progress of dilation...going into the third day I started making progress was finally dilated at between 9 amd 10cm as told by the nurse! So it was time to push! Wow do you need your leg strength like never before! My legs felt heavy and it was just the hardest 3hrs of my life pushing! Nothing was happening baby girl wasn't budging! After a few nurses came in and did there under the breath comments as they examined where bby was at the nurse practioner told me sweety looks like your going to need a csection! I couldn't even register it...my body was exhausted I was in pain and all I wanted and was concerned about was my baby girl. Doctor came in checked me and said oh yea your pelvic area is too small for the bby to come out your going to need a csection 😕 I wanted bby girl out by now I was getting pretty concerned about her but not loosing faith that God was still in control! They got me ready for the csection. Hubby was so supportive with comfort cause i was so heartbroken at how everything was going. Finally they pulled baby girl out hubby was excited and told me she looks like me. But we weren't hearing no cry. Let me tell you being strapped down on a table with your whole stomach flipped out not being able to see a thing and not hearing your baby cry for 5min with nurses rushing in is the scariest thing ever! Finally we hear her cry a great relief comes over me. They bring her to me I kiss her was the most beautiful thing ever then they rush off with her they tell hubby that she swallowed mychonium and they needed to take care of it right away. They failed to tell me that the cord was wrapped around her neck as well! I was finally wheeled in my room. I waited anxiously for them to bring my baby girl to me! Finally the nurse came in and said I'm very sorry but we cannot bring her to mom yet she shows signs of a possible infection from swallowing the mychonium and she's not responding to other tests very well we need monitor her and in the morning and run some test in the morning will update you. I just broke I couldn't comprehend what was going on I was in soo much pain I couldn't move from the waist down. All I wanted was to hold my baby girl. Finally the morning came and I sent my hubby to go find out what was going on with our baby girl. The nurse came in that was caring for our baby and told us that unfortunately she had an infection and that she needed to be given antibiotics but they were unable to do it so they needed to transfer her to another hospital! By this time I just broke down. I was emotionally shot and still in alot physical pain. Before they transfer her they brought her to me and hubby and I got a good hr with her. She was born on a Monday at 2:46 pm she was 6lbs 10oz. She was transferred on a Tuesday. I was discharge on a Thursday. I went straight to the hospital she was at..she was in the NICU. By this time she was making good progress and doing alot better. I spent 8hrs with her by myself. I didn't want leave her but I had to go home and get some rest I was feeling it in my body I was in so much pain from the csection but all I could think about was my daughter. Everyday I went to go visit her I started pumping and breastfeeding! Each day that passed she was making progress getting healthier and stronger! Thank you Jesus! She needed to complete her full ten days of being on the antibiotics. Tomorrow is her discharge day! We get to bring our baby girl home! It's definitely been am experience for my first baby! But God was with us through it all! And with all the prayers, love and support from family and friends we were able to push through the hardest time of our lives! I can't wait to pick her up and bring her home hubby and I thank God for his graciousness towards us and our beautiful baby girl! Now we get to celebrate and rejoice! Something I learned....labor never goes as planned! You here it all the time! But in the end no matter how you have your baby sometimes the unexpected way turns out to be the right way. If I wouldn't have had a csection idk how much longer my baby could of lasted. I just thank God that she's healthy and strong! God Bless & my prayers go out to all you first time mommies and mommies expecting! I pray for a healthy and speedy delivery along with a rapid recovery!
