26-7-2009 - MY CRAZY BIRTH STORY!

My mood while writing this blog: BLESSED

OK, SO ITS BEEN A COUPLE WEEKS SINCE I LAST WROTE, INFACT IT WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE MY INDUCTION.. WELL THIS IS MY CRAZY BIRTH STORY...

WELL I WAS DUE TO BE INDUCED AT 6AM ON WEDNESDAY MORNING SO ON TUESDAY NIGHT MY HUBBY AND I GOT EVERYTHING PACKED AND DROPPED OFF MY OTHER DAUGHTER TO THE GRANDPARENTS AND WE GOT CARRY OUT AND LAYED IN BED... KNOWING WE COULNT SLEEP BECAUSE WE WERE SO EXCITED.. YET NERVOUS..

I HAD MY MEMBRANES STRIPPED ( READ OTHER BLOGS IN REGARDS TO THAT) THEY WERE STRIPPED LIKE 3 TIMES IN TWO WEEKS.. I WAS DOING EVERYTHING AND ANYTHING TO GET THAT LITTLE GIRL OUT!!

WELL NEATLESS TO SAY AFTER WE WATCHED A MOVIE AND ATE CARRYOUT I FELT THIS MAJOR CRAMPING.. WELL I GOT UP AND RAN TO THE BATHROOM AND THERE WAS ALITTLE BLOOD ON MY DREWS... SO I FIGURED IT WAS ANOTHER PART OF MY MUCSAS PLUG.. WELL THATS WHEN IT HIT ME... CONTRACTIONS... OHHHHHH MAN.. NOT LIKE BEFORE... NOT BRAXTON HICKS.. AND ONE AFTER ANOTHER...

I THOUGHT... HERE WE GO.. AND I KNEW I NEEDED TO GET SOME REST BECASUE EITHER WAS I WAS GOING IN TO THE HOSPITAL IN THE MORNING AND I WAS PLANNING ANOTHER V- BAC BIRTH WITH LONG HOURS OF LABOR AND PUSHING...

SO IT WAS LIKE 12 AND I LAYED DOWN AND TRIED AND TRIED TO GET SOME SLEEP.. LIKE AROUND 2 AM I SAT UP AND THE PAIN WAS SO BAD I WOKE MY HUBBY UP AND TOLD HIM SOMETHING WASNT RIGHT AND THAT WE NEEDED TO CALL THE DOCTOR.. WE DID AND SHE SAID JUST GO IN AND EITHER WAY YOUR STAYING SO BRING YOUR BAGS..

WELL I GOT TO L&D AND THEY LET ME PICK MY ROOM ( I WORK THERE) AND THEY NURSE I WANTED ECT.. AND THE CONTRACTIONS WERE STILL COMING SO THEY HOOKED ME UP RIGHT AWAY.. THEY CHECKED ME AND I WAS ONLY AT A 3.. WELL I HAD BEEN A 2 FOR WEEKS SO I FIGURED THAT WAS SOME PROGRESS AND THEY SAID THE CONTRACTIONS WERE STRONG BUT THEY WANTED TO MAKE THEM STRONGER WITH THE DREDFULL PITOSIN... YEAH THE PIT!!

BUT THE UPSIDE AGAIN FROM WORKING THERE.. THEY ORDERED MY EPIDURAL RIGHT AWAY SO BEFORE I KNEW IT THEY WERE IN THE ROOM SETTING UP FOR THE EPIDURAL.. WELL THATS WHEN THINGS CHANGED FOR THE WORSE..

THEY ASKED MY HUSBAND TO STEP OUT.. I WAS PISSED.. I SAID THAT I WANTED HIM THERE AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS HOSPITAL POLICY BECAUSE A DAD PASSED OUT AND BROKE HIS JAW AND BLAH.. BLAH.. BLAH... WELL I JUST TOLD HIM IT WAS OK.. AND HE WENT OUTSIDE.. THEY TOLD HIM JUST GIVE THEM 15 MINUTES... SO I FIGURED THAT WASNT BAD RIGHT..

WELL TWO GUYS CAME IN.. I NEVER SEEN THEM BEFORE AND I WORKED THERE SO I WAS ALITTLE WORRIED BUT THE NURSES KNEW THEM AND SAID THEY WERE GOOD... WHY IT WAS GONNA TAKE TWO THATS WHAT WORRIED ME... YEAH.. WELL BECAUSE MY SPACES IN BETWEEN MY SPINE WERE SOOOOO SMALL THEY WERE HAVING A HARD TIME FINDING THE SPOT.. SO THERE I SAT.. CRUNCHED OVER... CONTRACTING.. IN PAIN... MY HUBBY OUTSIDE... AND 15 MINUTES TURNED INTO 35 TO 40 MINUTES... I WAS CRYING... I SCREAMED " FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT"!!!

THEN THATS WHEN THEY GOT IT IN... AND THANK GOD.... WELL THEN I LAYED BACK AND MY HUBBY CAME IN AND IT WAS ALL GOOD FOR A HOUR... THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THE NURSE RAN IN.. SHE STOPPED THE PITOSIN.. AND SAID "GET ON YOUR SIDE"! AND MY HUBBY AND I WERE LIKE WHAT?? SHE SAID THE HEARTRATE IS DROPPING.. THEY MOVED ME INTO LIKE 5 DIFFERENT POSITIONS IN LIKE 5 MINUTES... THEN THE DOC RAN IN AND SAID THE BABY ISNT TAKING THIS WELL AND WE MAY HAVE TO HAVE C-SECTION.. WELL I WAS FREAKING OUT AT THAT POINT...

THE DOC CHECKED ME AND I WAS AT A 4 AND THE BABY WAS STILL HIGH.. THEY PUT A MONITOR IN AND BROKE MY WATER AND THEN SAUD THEY WERE NOT PUTTING THE PITOSIN ON UNTIL HER HEART RATE CHANGED.. THEY HAD ME ON MY LEFT SIDE AND NO PIT AND HER HEART RATE WENT BACK TO NORMAL.. MY HUBBY SAT NEXT TO ME AND WE PRAYED... CRIED... BUT I FIGURED IT WAS ALL GONNA BE FINE..

THE NEXT THING I KNEW THEY WERE RUNNING IN AGAIN AND THEY PUT A CAP ON MT HEAD AND THREW SOME SCRUBS AT MY HUBBY AND SAID " TIME TO GET THIS BABY OUT"! MY HUSBAND JUMPED UP AND WITH FEAR IN HIS EYES SAID.. 'WHERE ARE MY PARENTS"!! HE CALLED WHILE THEY WERE HOOKING AND UN HOOKING ME UP.. THEY WERE COMING DOWN THE HALL WITH MY OTHER DAUGHTER... I DIDNT WANT HER OR ANYONE TO SEE ME CRY BUT I WAS SCARED OF THE SURGERY SO I WANTED TO GIVE THEM A HUG AND MY LITTLE MADDY AND TELL HER MOMMY WAS GOING TO BE OK THEY JUST HAD TO GET HER LITTLE SISTER OUT QUICKLY..

THEY ALMOST DIDNT LET ME GIVE MY HUBBY A KISS AND THEY RUSHED ME OFF. BED AND ALL.... THE NEXT THING I KNEW I WAS STRAPPED DOWN AND THEY CHECK TO BE SURE I WAS NUMB.. I WAS SO THEY THEY WENT... CUTTING ME.... AND THEN ALL THE SUDDEN MY HUSBAND WAS NEXT TO ME AGAIN... WHAT A RELIEF!! THEY PULLED HER OUT...

I WAS WAITING FOR THE CRY... NO CRY... THEY YELLED O MAN.. THE CORD IS WRAPPED... I LOOKED AT MY HUSBAND AND HE WAS TRYING TO LOOK OVER THE SHEET... THEN ALL THE SUDDEN I HEARD THEM SAY HER CORD WAS AROUND HER NECK TWICE AND HER BELLY TWICE... I WAITED.. NO CRY... THEN ALL THE SUDDEN THEY SAID HERE SHE IS... THEY LIFTED HER UP BY THE SHEET SO WE COULD SEE.. SHE WAS KIND OF BLUE AND GRAY BUT SHE CRIED.... SO I FELT A SIGH OF RELIEF.. MY HUBBY WAS CRYING AND SO WAS I... I TOLD HIM TO GO MAKE SURE SHE WAS OK... SO HE DID... HE KISS ME ON THE FORHEAD AND HE WENT OVER TO WHERE THEY WERE WORKING ON HER... THEN THE LITTLE CRIES KEPT COMING SO I KNEW SHE WAS OK...

AFTER THEY GOT HER ALL CLEANED AND WARM THEY PUT HER BY MY FACE.. SHE WAS BRIGHT EYED AND LOOKING RIGHT AT ME... SHE LOOKED JUST LIKE HER DADDY... HER EYES WERE HIS STARRING RIGHT BACK AT ME.... I WAS SOBBING WITH JOY.. SHE WAS 7 LBS 15 OZ.... JUST ONE OZ SHY OF 8 LBS.. SHE WAS PERFECT...

THE DOCTOR EXPLAINED TO ME THAT SHE WOULNT BE OK IF I HAD WENT INTO LABOR MYSELF BECAUSE THE CORD CHOKING HER SHE WOLDNT HAVE HAD OXYGEN DURING HER DESEND DOWN THE CANAL.. SO AT THAT MOMENT I KNEW GOD WAS LOOKING OVER US FOR SURE.. I HAD MT MEMBRANES STRIPPED 3 TIMES AND WAS DOING ALL THIS TO GO INTO LABOR AND NOTHING WAS WORKING... WELL THANK GOD... AND THANK GOD FOR THE PAINS THAT I HAD JUST HOURS BEFORE WE WERE TO GET INDUCED BECAUSE THAT WAS GODS WAY OF GETTING ME TO THE HOSPITAL FASTER...

IM SO THANKFUL.. WERE SO THANKFUL...
