My daughter was not supposed to due till May 2, 2020. Needless to say that wasn’t how it all worked out. I was supposed to have my regular appointment on January 28th after work. On the 27th I wasn’t feeling her move like I normally did. I called the doctor and told them what was going on and got an appointment for a few hours later. I went in and her heart rate was irregular. So they started monitoring me at 3 and they were making it seem less alarming than it actually was. So I ended up staying there till 730 when they told me to go to a hospital in Milwaukee. At this point in time I had been at the hospital since 2:30 and had no answers and now I am going to another hospital hoping to get some. I arrived there and they brought me upstairs I explained to the lady bringing me up why I was there and what had been going on. Apparently everyone knew why I was coming and why I was there, but still had no indication that it was that horrible of a situation. I was never told that so far. They hooked me up to the monitor again and monitored me all night. The specialist came in early the next morning to start the ultrasound. During the ultrasound my daughters heart rate and oxygen dropped dramatically. At that moment they decided a c-section was the best for both her and I. There were 15 people in my room asking me every question under the sun. I was so scared and my husband wasn’t there yet and wouldn’t make it in time to see our daughter born. They had me back in the or in less than 5 minutes and I was getting my spinal. During this time my nurse from the night had come back with me and was on the phone with my husband telling him what was going on. I was in surgery for 45 minutes. When they cut me open to take her out she was already detached in her placenta and it was starting to rupture. Had she not come out at the exact time she did she would have died and I could have as well. The reason this all happened was because my uterus is heart shaped and she attached towards the top where there was really no blood flow. That is why is was growth restricted and detached. This is also why our first daughter came 11 days early. She attached differently so I never had complications with her. My uterus isn’t shaped enough to see on an ultrasound and I never knew because I didn’t have a c-section last time. It was the scariest time of my life. I couldn’t imagine if she didn’t survive. Today she is still in the nicu and will be for another at least 7 weeks. But she is a champ and a fighter. And her road has fortunately had more ups than downs.
