Not what I wanted

haira

Let me start off by saying, my whole birth experience was not one i wanted and sorry for this being so long. So I was 40+1 and around 10:30 I started getting contractions, but didn’t end up going to the hospital until 2:30 just because I didn’t want to get turned away and be sent home. So when we arrived I got admitted and my contractions were 4-5 min apart and I was only at 2cm. So the nurse said they were going to watch me for an hour to see if I progress or I would be sent home or to walk around. After an hour no luck, but my baby’s heart rate was slowing down every time I got a contraction so they decided to induce me and insert a folley ballon. (I think that’s how you spell it) so they transferred me to labor and delivery where they insert the ballon and my boyfriend and I tried to get some sleep. An hour later, the doctor comes in and says I have to have an emergency c section, something I did not want. Within 2 min a dozen people come into my room and start prepping me. I was shaking from how nervous I was, and crying because I was so scared that something was wrong with my baby. After about 20min I was in the OR getting an epidural. Everything happened so fast, before I know it my boyfriend is by my side and my baby is out. She was born on 2.21.19 at 7:52am, but there were some complications. She inhaled her poop while still in my uterus which cause her not being able to breathe on her own. They took her to the nicu where they insert a vent into her mouth and other things. She also had a few seizures which haven’t been explained as to why she had them. The first picture is the day she was born, and the next is her today. Nothing about her birth was as planned, but I pray to god everyday that she gets better and soon comes home with us
