A little late, but here you go!

Patrisha

Alright ladies, I already posted that i had my little man, but since i have time let me tell my store... So i was due april 8th, well april 7th i woke up with little contractions at anout 7:40am and when i went to the bathroom i had slimey pinkish discharge when i had wiped.. Well as the day went on i had contractions, but nothing steady. I had my boyfriend go walk with me two seperate times because i was determined to get this baby going.

It was thankfully a beautiful day to go for a walk! well fast forward to about 6 or 7pm my contractions were going anywhere from 20-30 mins apart, so we turned on a movie and i made something to eat.. Come about 9pm my contractions start getting anywhere from 15-10 mins apart. At this point he was getting anxious, but i didn’t want to head to the hospital until i knew it was a for sure thing. well a little after 10pm they were getting to be 8 mins apart, so he decided it was time to go to the hospital.. Well by the time we got to the hospital they were 4 mins apart! we only live a 20 mins drive from the hospital.

when i got up to labor and delivery they ended up admitting me because my dud date was in a little over a hour.. Once i got settled and they

had checked me, i was already dialate to 5. Now after i got settled in i stopped paying attention to time because i was in so much pain.. I chose to get an epidural, and it worked, for maybe a hour, also i almost forgot, my water broke while i was getting my epidural!! But then i had felt everything again. so they ended up giving me a different medicine in the epidural and then that worked for maybe 20 mins and then i had felt everything again. somewhere along the way when they had checked me i was dialated to 7. Now i know i was dialated to 7 for at least 2 hours because i was told id be checked in 2 hours. Well when they had checked me again i was still at 7. Now somewhere along the way i was feeling every contraction and i felt so much pressure in what felt like my butt. They had checked me at i was at 10, so they had me try pushing. I ended up pushing for a hour and my little man was not budging.Now at one point they had tried giving me a third medicine in my epidural, because i was still feeling everything. and the third medicine had made my babies blood pressure drop. at that point he wasn’t budging and because of his blood pressure it was decided a csection was the best option, wich i didnt mind because i wanted whatever was best for my baby.

So here we go to my csection. i taken to the or and

they get start, wich kind of bothered me because they never asked if i was numb, they never told me they were starting. So here goes the tugging and pulling and all the nerves started.. Finally i feel one big tug and i said “woah, what was that?!” and they told me it was my little man, and then i heard his first cry, wich made me cry.. So daddy went over and watched them clean him up and obviously i was stuck on the table🤦‍♀️

2:04 pm april 8th, on his due date my little man came into the world! He was 9 pounds exactly and 21 inches long.. Everything was great and he was doing so well. The only thing that i hated was how groggy i was, i barely remember the first night with him! Also they sent me home a day sooner than i should have gone home. wich was fine, they sent us home on friday. Well saturday i ended up back in the er because i had spiked a fever, basically they said it was mixture of everything and my milk coming in. they send my home, and i pumped and relaxed and my fever went away..

Well cue a week later and the following friday night i ended up feeling awful, and saturday morning i had woken up with a fever of 102.3. So back to the hospital i got 10 days after delivering.. Turns out i had gotten an infection, not on my incision, but on the inside. I had gotten hospitalized from saturday to tuesday. I had to get antibiotics all day everyday while i was at the hospital. And due to corona, i could not have any visitors when i had gotten admitted (when i delivered only dad was allowed the whole time).

Now here we are, a month later and we had his first month appointment and my baby is doing amazing, I am truely so blessed!!

I love my little man so much!!

Also I am sorry if all my thoughts are scattered, and if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask.. and please no hate❤️❤️

I also want to thank all you ladies on here who have ben supportive before during and after my pregnancy, this app is filled with some great himan beings❤️❤️
