July 5th we welcomed
Went to the hospital at 8 am july 5th to have my water broken as baby girl was measuring too big and I'd already started dilating. At 9 am they finally broke the water and sent me.into to full blown labour and contractions by 10 I was sitting at 8 cm dilated relived by the progress I kept doing what I had to do to focus . At noon I finally reached 9 cm and was sure my baby would be here so kept doing it natural by 1 pm I was in such pain they gave me fetynal which honestly did help for short periods of times after 3 doses and 2 hours later I finally get to 9.9 cm but nothing is happening and the pain is now completely unbearable I'm exhausted my body is starting to go through shock and slowly shutting down after 6 hours of pushing and nothing happening . They bring in the epidural and tell me there now giving it to me as they need to prep for what ifs I have a surgeon come in and discuss a c section telling me she will try to flip babies head first but if not that it's now or never to get her out. Unfortunately they couldn't flip her and I'm now being sent in for a c section hard to swallow after 2 previous natural births not only did I take something for the pain this time I now have to have her taken from me heartbreaking I panic I cry I cry so loud I feel like I've failed her myself and my husband I'm devastated and exhausted as I'm being wheeled into the operating room. They keep numbing me finally my husband enters the room as they start cutting me and 3 minutes later we lay eyes on the most vocally beautiful little girl . I'm shaking my body can't stop and I'm crying as she's okay from a far . Touching her finally was unreal so emotional so In love . She weighed in at 8lbs 7.4 Oz after everything was said and over they explained she was trying to come out forhead first if we continued to push both her or I we would have snapped her neck and she wouldn't have made it. As traumatizing and totally not in my birth plan it was I'm blessed things happened how they did and that she is here. I give any mother that has a c section such credit this shit is hard. Super hard. All you mommas amaze me . We are home now but at being sent 4 hours away tomorrow so baby girl can see a heart specialist Monday morning I'm scared for this painful drive that awaits us . Anyways everyone meet Shylynn Maurice Simister sorry for the long story !!
