Its finally my time to share my birth story! 🤓

⚠️Maybe Pretty Long⚠️

Sunday August 5, 2018 i noticed i was having some weird period cramps i was only 35 weeks and some days and i figured ill just keep an eye on it to see if the pains get worse... the next day arrives and i still was getting the cramps but instead of me just goin to the hospital i still went to work but ended up leaving early because i just felt like something wasn’t right!

I texted my fiancé and said babe i think we need to go to the hospital just to make sure of things because im having some weird pains. So we head to the hospital & they monitor me for a while in triage... the nurse comes to me and saying ur having way to many contractions (mind u i dont feel anything that has me in pain or that im in labor) the nurse then checked me and i wasnt dialated.. but she felt lik something was really wrong so she ordered an ultrasound...

I then came back to triage to wait on my results... the nurse then proceeded to say ur baby did not pass the ultrasound ur being admitted to the hospital u til further notice.... the baby was suppose to past with a 8 out of 8 and she only got a 6 out of 8..

then she also preceeded to say that the umbilical cord may also be wrapped around her neck....

i just cried because this is something i never thought i will hear.. my fiancé tried his hardest to hold back tears to be strong for me.. (& by the way this is our first baby)

So now im admitted to Labor & Delivery on strict bedrest.. i was getting tons and tons of iv fluids.... the same day the head ultrasound lady came to speak to me and my fiancé and basically told us that ur little one has decreased fetal movement and her breathing is not that great & we will be doing and ultrasound every single day & we are going to keep u until ur 37 weeks & possibly try to deliver your baby on that day so your baby would not be considered premature..

At this point im like what..... just pretty much lost for words.. and thinkn how miserable im going to be sitting in a hospital for two weeks... i wasnt able to walk around the hospital or take a shower for a couple of days and i begged for one believe me!! 😩

So fast forward to Thursday night i felt normal had some back pains but of course i just thought bcuz the bed was so uncomfortable.. and i also noticed that wen i got up to go use the rest room my legs felt so heavy and im asking my fiancé are my legs swollen or do they look any different and he’s like “you look fine to me” 🙄.. but actually i was wasnt i was swollen all over! Arms, face, legs EVERYTHING!... but i thought maybe im just swollen from all the fluids i was been receiving since monday 🤷🏾‍♀️..

Now friday morning has arrived im 36 weeks and 1 day at this point and a nurse came in and said your blood pressure has not stayed down since Thursday night... and im like really it hasn’t? & im in shock because i dont have history of high blood pressure at all..my pregnancy was smooth sailing through all my months...so the nurse is like are you stressed out about something im like no im normal..just going through my long days on bed rest... she was lik okay im going to continue watching but i have to call your doctor and let him know... sooo a couple hours later I finally get the approval to take a shower n i was so happy omgg !!

I took my a good nice shower and felt so relaxed ! So now im finally leaving out the bathroom and as soon as i walk out the nurse walks in and says YOUR HAVING AND EMERGENCY C-SECTION IN AN HOUR! I just froze 😞.. my fiance says ur playing right i said no boy she dead serious why would she be playing 🙄!

(Having a c section was my worse fear)..

She proceeded to tell me that my blood pressure would not get any lower so we have to get your baby out now! (Oh yeah mind you i had a ultrasound that morning and she actually passed with and 8 out of 8! Monday through Thursday she was having 6 out of 8) so im lik wow on the day she finally passes her ultrasound is the day we have to do an emergency c-section...

soo now they are preparing me and my finance

And u can just see the worry in my face i just seen a whole bunch of green scrubs rush in my room 🤦🏾‍♀️ i just didn’t know how to feel.. i didnt cry i just felt froze like i will do anything just to make sure i have a healthy baby girl...

Two hours later i had my precious beautiful baby girl in my arms... (after my two hour recovery)

Born August 10, 2018

3 pounds 12 ounces

So tiny but so healthy

She had to stay in the NICU for a week just to monitor her feeding and if she can gain weight.. my baby girl was so strong she went home with me a week later still weighing 3 pounds but very close to 4..

The umbilical cord was definitely wrapped around her neck.. which alson stopped fluid and caused her to stop growing...

I am now diagnosed with preeclampsia but im glad I followed my gut to go get checked out because it could have been to late to do anything... this little girl is my world 🌎.. after looking at her face every day ill take all the pain all over again just for her!

⚠️Also c-section recovery feels lik the worse! 😪

As this being my first pregnancy it was an emotional roller coaster.. she wasn’t suppose to be born until September 6 and i had her a month early ..

Ladies I encourage u to go to the hospital when ever u feel lik something just isnt right.. don’t worry about how much u maybe aggravating or how frequently u may go to the emergency room.. you just never know ! Follow your gut!

Thanks for Reading ♥️😊

Any questions ill be happy to answer!😘
