Birth Story!!

Alexis • Married 2 my bestfriend💍 Mommy of soon to be 3 🖤✨ 🤰🏼Est 11/10/24 🩷🩵🩵

It’s finally my turn.. I went in for induction at 12 PM on 11/15(my birthday🥳) leaving my 4 year old at home was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.. ANYWAY.. I was check & was 3.5 CM & contracting so they didn’t start pitocin until about 2 & the contractions were hitting hard back to back by 4 I got my epidural @ 6.5/7 CM. Failed about 3 times.. The anesthesiologist just couldn’t get it to work he had to come & redo it 3 times but adjusted about 5 times before I could finally got relief (7PM) I was 8 CM but had a cervical lip so I used the peanut ball for about 2 hours & no change. She had me sit up and my blood pressure dropped I couldn’t even think or see straight I felt so out of it just from sitting up so I had to back down by 9 PM I was 9 CM my water was bulging but my dr wanted me to rupture on my own.. Finally by 3rd round of nurses the one in charge took over by 7 she said I’m getting the dr & we’re having this baby. Dr came in within 2 mins popped my water & finally had the urge to push my 7:30 9 pushes in & here he comes born @ 7:45 AM 11/16/2022

7lbs 12.2 oz & 19.5 in

Later on around 8:30 I ended up calling my nurse in cause I felt weird thankfully I handed my son over in time to my husband cause I felt weak & out of it, I shit you not 20 nurses and drs came in within seconds I ended up hemorrhaging it was honestly the most traumatic, terrifying experience I ever had to go through, my poor husband just watching me bleed out. Had to get 2 blood transfusions, blood pressure dangerously low & oxygen levels dangerously low aswell & in the worst pain I’ve ever felt had to get.. a folly catheter was in place to make my uterus contract to stop the hemorrhage. All iI could think about was my daughter at home if I didn’t make it. I cried & cried every time she would FaceTime me & just looking aty wallpaper would make me cry (it’s of her) If you feel something’s off speak up right away!!! Here’s my Angel Baby🤍🙏🏼✨
