UPDATE*** My amazing birth came at a price...
On Monday February 3 I woke up at 5 am to some cramping nothing too bad but enough to wake me up. I took some Tylenol thinking nothing of it I was 39&5 scheduled for a csection on Wednesday. At 7 am I woke up again to the cramps more intense I went to the bathroom and wiped and I seen I had my bloody show.! I was so excited. I made me some hot tea watched an episode of criminal minds got in the shower and told my mother in law. I got my toddler dressed and ready. I was waiting for the contractions to get closer but they never did they stayed at 5-7 minutes apart but they intensified. I realized I was still bleeding ( weird ) so we loaded up went to the hospital. Got there by 10. They monitored me checked me I was a 1 50% effaced. So they told me to walk around I walked for 3 hours ladies.. by 1 I got checked again ( still bleeding) still at a 1 🙄 the doctor came and told me he would like to do my csection. I said okay let’s do it just wait for my husband. I called my husband and he was in traffic of course by the time he got there it was 3 they started my epidural and we headed to the o.r NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I BEEN SO SCARED. My toddler was born c section but I was under general anesthesia. He came into the room held my hand and the surgery began. 4:23 Jayson William entered this world
No complications ( so I thought ) I had an easy recovery everything was so great we were basked in love and euphoria. Fast forward to today. 2/12. I go for my incision check, my doctor walks in I could immediately tell something was wrong he checked my incision said there is just extra fluid built up I said okay no big deal. My blood pressure was 140/100. He then told me during my csection he noticed something on my bladder that was abnormal for someone my age.. he said he biopsied it sent it to the lab... the lab report came back that they’re concerned I have Low Grade Serous Neoplasm I said wtf is that. He said the report came back as a type of ovarian cancer that is rare... they sent a slide to the Mayo Clinic for a second opinion because it shouldn’t be in someone my age ( I’m 22 ) my heart stopped... why? I just had a baby! And now I got told I have cancer? he told me the final report won’t be in for a few weeks but to be prepared for some bad news.. my heart is broke I’m so angry and upset. How could I give birth to such an amazing baby then a week later get told I have cancer 😢
Update: thank you for all the love and support. We got the results back as it is stage 3 ovarian cancer my heart is beyond shattered but it is okay. We are going to be doing chemo and surgery and they are giving me a total hysterectomy. I’m so worried and nervous I won’t be able to take care of my babies and I’ll be away from my newborn and toddler for at least a week. I also have an infection around my csection scar so yay me. Also now battling depression with everything going on. When life hits you it hits you like a damn train 😅 I will continue to keep everyone updated
