My story

Let me start off by saying I was told in November of 2017 that I could no longer have children. I had just had a DNC to remove my child that had passed. They said that the PCOS was to sever to carry a baby to term. It took me a while to even feel like a human.

In May of 2018 we were getting ready to move to a new town home. My friend stated that something was off. I was very moody and kept having migraines. She handed me a pregnancy test and it came back to quickly. I cried because I didn’t want to feel that pain again. I told my husband and he didn’t want to deal with it. I kept it to myself for weeks. I went in and heard the heart beat and cried. I carried that baby till he came out!

I developed diabetes during my pregnancy which was hard but I didn’t mind taking control of what I ate. I had to be monitored ever week at labor and delivery just to make sure he was ok. On December 27th 2018 I was only 35 weeks along. I was eating buffalo pretzels and noticed I was having contractions every 7 minutes apart and they were horrible. I went to labor and delivery but was basically told it was all in my head. I said I’m not joking I am in labor and will have this baby with in the next 48 hours. I was told nope and sent home. Saturday December 29th I had just gone pee and was going upstairs to take a shower. Made it half way up when I felt a ton of fluid come out. Ran the rest of the way and stood in the bathroom and there was a puddle. I yelled for my husband who was in disbelief since we were just there. I call labor and delivery and they say come on in and we will make sure. Once we got there they did their swabs to make sure it was my water that broke and sure enough it came back positive.

The doctor who was there walked in and sure enough it was the same doctor who had just sent me home. She looked at me like I was a ghost and I said see I told you. She just couldn’t believe I knew my body that well. Xander Scott made his way by C-section on December 29th at 2:07 pm weight 6.8 lbs and 19 1/2 inches long. He did spend 12 hours in the tanning bed as my daughter said because his levels were very low but he was such a trooper! I am so blessed that my doctor was wrong and that I was able to have 1 more kid and Xander is so very strong and he is such a love bug!
