July baby became a June baby but delivery almost killed me

Clare-marie

Hey ladies so it's my turn to tell my birth story. I was due to have my daughter on July the 9th but they were going to induce me on July 2nd due to having gestational diabetes. I went for my 38 week check up at the hospital on the 27th of June. I asked my midwife if there was any chance I could get induced any sooner as I was suffering depression and was feeling very sick in my pregnancy she went and asked the main person at the hospital if they could induce me anytime sooner they asked me to come back at 4 that day to be induced. 4 p.m. came I got to the hospital I was taken straight into a room where they started the inducement the first lot of pain induced I could dilated to 2 cm and my contractions stopped their second lot my contractions got so intense I measured Out 3 cm I ended up going to the toilet where I thought I was doing a wee but it was my waters breaking I called the Midwife in to let her know it was going on I ran back to the toilet and there was a big gush my waters have definitely broke. The Midwife told me to call my husband and mother who were out home to come straight down as I was taken down to delivery Ward. The time I got to the delivery Ward my contractions were so intense I was screaming out for the epidural the Midwife was putting in the epidural as my mother and my partner turned up. Within 20 minutes of having the epidural in my back I had the urge to push. I started to push then was told by my with wife to stop as the umbilical cord was wrapped around my daughter's neck I couldn't stop as a pressure and urge to push I kept wishing she came out fine and then it was Code Blue she stopped breathing she was put on oxygen and everything seemed to go well she was ok. Next minute it was my turn to deliver the percenter as I started to push the percent her out or was going well once epicentre came straight up I started gushing out Blood I started to Hermitage another Code Blue. All I can remember was seen so much blood the Midwife pushing on my stomach I looked at my partner at his face was white I looked at my mother and said to her I don't feel well I don't feel right I close my eyes and I start to shake and all I remember hearing was Let's Get her to theatre now I was on the way out I do you know what time I gave birth I didn't know what my daughter look like. I get into theatre and there is about 30 to 40 people I was put straight to sleep I remember waking up in the recovery with my daughter on my chest I could barely see her barely keep my eyes open and my mum and partner standing at the end of the bed. I was taken to intensive care unit where I stayed for 2 days I asked the Midwife what time did I give birth to my daughter she said I gave birth on the 28th of June at 1:06 a.m she weighs 7 pound 8. I got to hold her for the first time in the afternoon on the 28th best feeling ever how clean setup unfortunately to hold her had to lay down due to having two packs packs put in and a balloon I also had a catheter the epidural my back pump in every hour and topped up every 15 minutes after two days I was taking down to the maternity board where I can spend and walk around with my daughter now I'm currently home with her I am one proud mum to three beautiful girls and one boy.
