Consistent Braxton Hicks with pain since around 5am on 6/1. Went to work, was convinced to tell my doctor what was going on. She told me to go to L&D to get checked. I went home to wait for mom. Had to pee once I got home early from work. Around 4:10pm I lost a bit of my mucus plug. Went to hospital, had to pee immediately. Lol. Lost a glob of mucus plug. Went to L&D, got checked and I was only at a 1.. they checked a few more times in an hour’s timeframe. Dilated to a 1.5, then to a 3, then to 4 and then to a 5.. not sure when I finally got to an 8. Baby’s heart rate had been dropping and fluctuating a lot. They decided to do an emergency c-section. Turns out that the cord was wrapped around her ankle, twice. (From all of that dancing that she’s been doing. LOL.) As soon as they pulled her out, she cried. One of the most beautiful cries!! 😭😩😍 They flashed her to me, she was SOOOO beautiful. I cried!! I looked over at SO and he put his head down (trying to hide) — she’s his first girl. She was born at 11:22pm Eastern time. She latched successfully and ate until she fell asleep. I am so in love!! He couldn’t stop staring at her, kissing and hugging her, all while saying, “Hey my baby! My baby girl!” 😍😩☺️ Everything was really scary at first, but she is here! Finally!
