Unbelievable birth experience 10/16
So I’m gonna make this as short as I can lol
In the end on my pregnancy I was experiencing high blood pressure, so at 38 weeks when I went in for my check up it was 150/109 so I was sent to L&D for them to monitor it. My doctor decided he wanted to keep me overnight and if it continued to stay high we would do a csection. Well it leveled out overnight around 130/80s so I was released 10/15 around 5:30pm. Doctor scheduled me for a csection on 10/21 at 2:30pm. Well we went on home, I went to bed pretty early because I didn’t get much sleep at the hospital. The next day my boyfriend got up for work about 7, I noticed a little cramping but it wasn’t nothing out of the ordinary, figured it was Braxton Hicks or gas lol so I dozed back off. Around 9am I woke up cramping a little stronger but still wasn’t something I was too concerned about, so I decided to take a epsom salt bath to help. The bath didn’t help at all, so I got dressed, walked my dog, by then the cramping was pretty intense, I tried getting in touch with my boyfriend but he was working in an area with bad cell service so I so I called my mom and told her, I was going to get her to come get me and take me to the hospital to get checked out but she lives an hour away, so she told me she thought I needed to call an ambulance because to her it sounded like I was in labor. I didn’t feel like I was in labor though 😂 I did what she told me though lol I called an ambulance, then called my boyfriends mom and told her to tell him what was going on. The ambulance arrived about 12:10pm by then the cramps were pretty constant, they put me in a gurney, got me in the ambulance, started an IV in case they wanted one when we got to the hospital. We got to rolling, well we made it maybe 2/3 miles down the road, she told me she was going to time my pains, so I told her I was having one and she started timing it, not even 15 seconds into it I looked back at her and told her my water had broke. In my mind I was scared, I knew baby was still breech. They hit the lights and started hauling ass, the EMT lady was awesome, she talked me through each contraction and tried to keep me calm. We had to stop on the way to the hospital and pick up someone to help her out, we didn’t even come to a complete stop, the other lady jumped in and we started hauling ass again. I started feeling like I needed to push, now knowing he was breech and having that feeling was super scary because I was thinking worst case scenario...they talked me through each push, by the fourth push I heard them say they seen testicles, we were still a few minutes from the hospital. I pushed one more time and he was born. He was grayish/blue, not breathing, or moving. The EMT was doing everything to get him moving, she finally got all the fluid out his mouth and nose and he started whimpering, then he stopped again, she told the other lady not to stop patting him on the back/butt she said she wanted him pissed off, by this time we had just pulled up to the hospital, there were doctors and nurses all outside, but the EMT didn’t want the doors open until baby was moving and crying, she sucked a little bit more fluid out and he started throwing a fit lol. She clamped the cord, put him on my chest and covered me up, we got into a L&D room where there were more doctors and nurses waiting. They cut the cord, got him for his weight and all while I got stitched up. I had a second degree tear. We didn’t get an exact time but we estimated he was born at 12:49pm
