Birth Story at 17

So I finally decided to share my rough labor & delivery story. Before I got pregnant I was homeless and on drugs, as soon as I found out about him everything changed. Through my whole pregnancy I had so many issues, from a wreck that caused contractions to preeclampsia and 12 weeks of bedrest. I got induced June 3rd at 38 weeks 2 days due to my blood pressure. I came in at 7pm and started oral cervadil, at 4 am they gave me pitocin. My active labor started around 9 am. I was having back to back strong contractions and didn’t even feel anything! So i took a nap and woke up around 30 mins later in SOOOO much pain. Got checked and I was 6cm and got the epidural about 20 mins later. Around 4 pm i was only at a 7 and my labor started to stall. My heart rate and his went up and so did my temperature. My body was under too much stress which was causing stress on the baby. They gave me fentanyl andy whole body felt like lava, I was so drugged up after that i couldn’t even talk or open my eyes. By 8 I was almost at 10, when they checked me they said he was too small to fit through my birth canal so I needed an emergency c section. I cried and cried because all I wanted was that chest to chest moment with my son after pushing. My boyfriend said everything would be okay and we had no choice. They prepped me for surgery and brought my boyfriend in and about 20 mins later at 11:56 pm my precious boy was out

My boyfriend went with him to the nursery while he got his first bath while they were closing me up

When i got to my room he came and showed me this pic and cried and cried cause he was so perfect and i wanted to see him

Finally the nurse brought him in and I got to hold him for the first time

I had him on a Monday night and ended up having to stay til that Thursday. My recovery was painful but peaceful having him.

Now he’s about to be 4 months and he is such a character. I love being his mommy ❤️❤️ here he is now
