So at 4:54 Feb 21st 2019 my youngest lil man made his entrance into the world after me bring admitted the night before at 6:15 due to lil dude not staying on the monitor. The doctor told me he could not in good conscience send me home as I was having contractions and he didn't like what was happening with the monitor. This was after my appointment the day before saying I could not be induced for another 2 weeks (at that point I would be 40+ weeks) and I've been miserable lately due to contractions. Well we started by breaking my water (which broke like a water fall and leaked like crazy for hours after) then they added in meds to help with contractions and I got a ipderual. Not in the order BTW just I'm still a lil out of it. Well my left hip had been driving me nuts and hurting a lot this pregnancy and it went numb from my left hip all the way down. I had no control really of my leg. Well things went ok till I was 9 1/2 cm other then my heart rate sometimes climbing and my blood pressure dropping. Well all a sudden the nurse came in saying baby's heart rate kept dropping and they wanted him out quick. Checked me (9.5 cm at this point) then told the doctor. Suddenly the room was busy and soon I was trying to push. I couldn't feel from my waist down though. Due to the numbness I couldn't push well and they ended up having to use the vac. Well at first he didn't cry which sent me into a panic and everything was so numb I barely felt a thing as the doc delivered my placenta. They ended up taking baby to the nusery a lil early but while I was holding him I just kept thinking something wasn't right but I thought it was just my parnioa after all he was 7lbs and 12 Oz's and he looked healthy. Well my hubby went with him and suddenly my mom gets a message saying my lil boy was in NICU from my hubby. Finally he comes back and I find out it's due to problems with him breathing.... Just now a lil before 9am we found out he had a tear in his lung and air was getting into his chest cavity... The simple fix didn't work so now they are having to put a tube in.... All I can help but think is what if we waited two more weeks. What would have happened to my lil baby boy? I'm trying so hard to keep my emotions in check but the what ifs keep running through my head. Now my baby boy might be in NICU for a few days and I'm honestly scared. I'm so thankful the doctor kept me and got him into the world when he did and I'm so thankful for all the nice nurses we've had this hospital visit and I'm so glad my mom took me in to be checked when she did....
