I went Into the hospital at 2AM on Monday the 19th. Everytime I went to the bathroom there was blood in the toilet. I first noticed it at 2PM on Sunday the 18th. I called the doctor when I first had it and said not to worry. When I went into the doctor I told them I was having little cramps. They said i was having contractions and that I was gonna have this baby. They checked me and I was only 2cm and 60% effaced. They put me on meds to start inducing me since I was having contractions but not dilating. They broke my water at about 4pm and that's when I started having really bad contractions. They weren't hurting until then. They then gave me a epidural, it took 3 different tries to get it to work. I ended up crying my eyes out because it hurt so badly. They checked me at about 5:30pm to see how dialted I was and they said i was 10cm and 100% effaced. They brought the doctor in and had me start putting. I had a mirror so I could see everything that was happening. I pushed for about 30 minutes and out Isabella came.

My mom had my take photos as my mom cut the cord. They checked my baby and she wasn't moving and wasn't crying. She was dead. I looked at my mom as she was standing right next to my baby and I could see tears running down her eyes which then made me cry. I couldn't handle the thought of losing my baby girl. As they were working on my baby my mother left the room because she was to upset. I felt so alone, I didn't have my baby or my mother there with me. I felt so alone. All while that was happening they were pushing on my stomach and trying to get my placenta out. I started to bleed profusely. It took about 5 minutes to get my bleeding under control. They were frantically trying to warm my baby up. They had to call more doctors and nurses in to help bring her back. The doctors put a oxygen mask on her and that's when it got real for me. What if she doesn't make it? What will I do? I can't lose my little girl. After about 10 minutes of them frantically working on her she started to cry. It was an amazing moment to finally hear her. They then put my little girl in my arms and I just lost it. I started crying so hard just holding her as tight as possible. My little girl was okay, she was breathing. The best moment in my life knowing she was okay.
