Labor Story

KathyP.🥀

I was induced due to preeclampsia , so they started trying to dilate me. Everything was going good and I was feeling good , I started feeling little contraction around 6 or 7 hours later. I was 3 days in labor. My plan was to go natural but unfortunately it was too much for my body so I got the epidural , it worked for about 20 min and unfortunately it stopped working. I started feeling everything back again. It was painful. But god had me and my son in his hands! At around 12:40am December 18,2018 I felt a lot of pressure down there so my nurse told me to start pushing. So I pushed through all the pain. First few pushes were going good but when it got to his head coming out , omg it was painful !!!! I felt like giving up at that point but I thought to myself fuck it just push , 2 big pushes and my son was born at 1:44am December 28, 2018 , 6 pounds & 14oz & 20 inches. and let me tell you when he came out it was the best feeling! And I fell completely in love with my son. Unfortunately when my water broke earlier we found out he had pooped inside me so he had respiratory problems when he was born , he was breathing pretty fast. So we got separated quickly and he was transferred to a different hospital to be in the nicu. It was the worse being away from my baby, I started turning depressed during that day. But when I got discharged to go home i went straight to the hospital to be with my baby , and thank god they let him go home that same day with me.Now my babyboy is doing good , turning 1 month next Monday 💙 & my baby is just perfect , I love him so much already it’s amazing. Meet my son Johnny Velarde 😍💙
