Friday January 25, 2019 was a normal day for me in the hospital. Being on strict bedrest since 12/24/18 for PPROM I didn’t do much but get up to use the bathroom and shower. I was emotional that day and I asked my coworker to stop by after her shift ended. She stopped by and sat with me and talked for awhile. Me and my coworker was talking and just having a normal visit as usual, and I had went to go pee and I was bleeding and passed one half dollar sized blood clot and then a smaller one, so I told my nurse and she called the dr and the dr came down within 15 mins to check me just in case, and brought the ultrasound machine. She did a ultrasound and he looked good and his fluid was still low as it had been since I ruptured on Christmas <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.glow.android.eve">Eve</a>. Then she got the little plastic speculum to open me up to look and see if she could see why i was bleeding and then the look on her face as she hurried and took out the plastic thing, said we have a prolapsed cord and took her whole hand and shoved it in my vagina and started pushing everything back up. She was telling the nurse who was in the room that we had to go to the operating room right now and she was calling people and telling them we was on the way and she jumped on the bed with me and said come on let’s go let’s move right now and I started hollering and screaming and crying. I told my coworker to call my husband and my mom, she was over at the children’s hospital with my oldest son so she was already in the building, and I sent a quick text to my husband at 10:07pm to her over here now! She was telling me to calm down and just breathe that everything will be okay, I kept saying “it’s too early it’s too early” and she assured me it would be okay I just needed to calm down and they hurried me down the hallway while she had her hand in my vagina and literally on top of me on the bed and everything went so fast. I arrived to the OR just a minute later, they was telling me to calm down and I repeatedly said it’s too early it’s too early and they said it’s okay they’re going to do everything they can for him. They were running around getting me prepped and one lady was spraying my stomach down with betadine, the anesthesiologist was asking me about allergies and was getting my IV flushed and ready, they was hanging fluids and magnesium, they said they were placing my catheter and that i would feel discomfort but no pain, and I felt them spreading my legs to get that inserted. Then a lady came over to me held my hand and told me it will be okay, they will help my son and everything will be fine to just relax and focus on breathing slow deep breaths and I just cried. They then told me they was placing the oxygen mask on my face and I started breathing it in slowly and deeply. The next thing I knew, she said tilt your head back, I started to smell a gas and my eyes got a little droopy and that was the last I remember. They put me to sleep and did my emergency C-section and he was born within 13 mins of all that. They had my baby out in 13 minutes of all of that chaos. He came at 10:20pm and he weighed 1lb 1.6oz and is 11.5 inches long. I woke up to someone saying “Mrs. Williams” I woke up and I was in pain. I asked where my mom was, they asked me if I wanted them to get her I said yes. My sister, her husband, my coworker and my mom all walked in and my sister said “Aw omg are you okay” she looked like she wanted to cry, I didn’t know she was there. My moms first words were I saw him and he has the sweetest round little face, she was able to snap a quick picture and she showed me and I cried. I asked where he was and they said he was in the NICU, I asked could my mom please go check on him since my husband hadn’t made it yet. They let her and my coworker go up there to check on him. My mom FaceTimed me and showed me him and I just cried. I stayed in recovery for an hour and a half before going back to my room. My sister, cousin, coworker and my husband were all in the room with me and we were talking, and everything went so smooth and quick. Everyone left except my husband and I just cried and sobbed and I let it all out. I am now a new mom again of a micro preemie, born at 23 weeks 5 days 💙
