Scary Beginning, Happy Ending
I went through the TOUGHEST time in labor with Payton. I labored for a whole WEEK before they finally admitted me & then my labor stalled when I was 4cm dilated. I ended up getting the epidural cause the contractions were so intense yet I was getting no where. After the epidural we noticed that with every contraction, her heart rate would drop to the double digits which is NOT good at all. So they flipped me on my side & put me on oxygen to see if that would help. After a few minutes, about 7 doctors rushed in with an ultrasound because her heart rate was still dropping so they needed to see if maybe it was the way she was positioned that caused her heart rate to drop.. that’s when we noticed that instead of her coming head first, she was coming face first. & we had to get her out ASAP or it would have been fatal. I was then told I would have to have a csection right away & I cried because I was scared neither of us would make it out. I prayed & prayed to God that if I didn’t make it, PLEASE let her make it out safely and healthy. I was shaking so bad and I couldn’t stop crying. I didn’t calm down until at 10:25 p.m when they pulled her out & my baby girl screamed to the top of her lungs 😭 I LOST IT!! I immediately cried when I heard she was okay. I then drifted off to sleep from the anesthesia as when I woke up I was in a little room by myself and that’s when I started to panick again.. then PJ (baby’s father)

came back & said she was okay but she was very swollen and her face was bruised but other than that we had a healthy 5 lb 15.1 oz beautiful baby girl. All of my fears and worries left at that moment & about 15 minutes later, my baby was brought to me screaming at the top of her lungs. As soon as she got in my arms, everything was okay. I was okay and so was she. She is really the best thing that ever happened to me y’all. I couldn’t have asked for anything better! 👶🏽💕🤞🏽😩
