Scared to death and facing c section alone
I'm 36 weeks and been struggling with preclampsia and edema.. been sent down to triage 4 times this week and the Kates was today. Went for a weekly stress test and my blood pressure was high in multiple readings. So of course they admit me in the hospital. I get released a few hours later to come home and prepare my kids and things for a c section at 6 am..
Hard enough trying to make all the last minute arrangements for my home my kids and my dogs.. but my SO hasn't taken off work and or told his boss. OK well emergencies happen right,no time like the present and easy enough to explain. Wrong! Not only does my SO work for his ex family,one he has a very disabled child with, but he has no on to cate for his daughter in the early hours but his parents... OK no problem right? Wrong again.. see his parents don't know we are pregnant. They have never tried to accept me in any way after multiple times I have tried to be good to them (on side lines) cause I met them once for 20 mins in 2 years plus! I have sent gifts for holidays and birthdays.. never once been invited but sat alone at home. I was also not allowed at his sisters wedding at his mother's request. Never got the reason why.. but she said if I was in attendance she would not come to her only daughters wedding. OK I'll take that too (even tho I have done nothing to them ever) so back to the story, they don't know I am pregnant or that I have been having sever health issues. So my SO does not want to tell them why he needs them to keep his child this morning. They will ask questions..
I told him to let them know he has an emergency service call at work he has to take early.. he won't do it. He is actually mad the hospital can't push back my c section for a few hours!
I'm floored.. beyond any reason why I have moved mountains to accommodate him and his child all the time, eaten shit (sorry)from his family and this is what it comes down to today.. in just a few hours he will take me and drop me off and not be returning till later. I imagine he will also go to work since he hasn't covered that either.
I'm alone.. I suffered a stroke the last pregnancy with my twins over the same health issues. I'm losing my mind and feeling so very ashamed of my self right now at 38 years old. Is it too much for me to have asked him to secure his end for our baby? I can't even call my family and tell them I'm so shamed of what they will say over this.. so I'll go it alone and deliver our baby. I think I will ask the hospital for no visitors.. and make sure he can't come when it's convenient for him. Gosh, this isn't right.. but I'm ready to meet my baby girl at 6 am.
