I have had such a hard week since delivering my baby . It starts off on Tuesday , when my water had started to break . I was 40 weeks along exactly . I went to the hospital and they went ahead and admitted me . I started getting regular contractions when dilated me to a four but then my body stopped and the next even they decide to break my water all the way and start me on pitocin where I labored for 36 hours . I pushed for 3 hours and baby was going into distressed in the end but amazingly I pushed him out in time . But now I suffer from almost 3 re degree tearing . Ouch! I went home two days later and finally got to sleep in my bed it then I wake up at 4 am feeling like I was having a heart attack . But it turns out it was a gallbladder attack . I went to the hospital once again and they had to admit me . But I had a two day old baby I did not want to serperate from . But thank god they let me keep him there with me through this entire thing . Idk how wouldn't mentally and physically made it without my baby! The entire week i have been admitted I haven't been able to eat anything which is extremely hard cause I'm breastfeeding ! But I had my surgery yesterday! And now after a week in the hospital I'm finally able to go home with my baby ! It was a tough road but it's finally done with !
