Induced, check! Labour for 12 hours, check!

This is all going according to plan....

Baby’s heart rate drops to 70 during a contraction.... oh oh...

Next contraction same thing.

Epidural stops working in my right hip.... um not in the plans...

Baby still in distress.... rushed off to emergency c section... they start cutting, I start screaming and they put me fully under.

Baby is born but my uterus is “floppy”, they can’t get it to contract and worry I’ll hemorrhage. 2 hrs later I’m out of surgery. Baby had tied a knot in his umbilical cord and that’s a new one.

He’s here now though, a week early as planned, even if everything else didn’t go as planned
