I know it has been a long time writing on my page.. well that is because I gave birth to my little girl on thursday at 3:48 a.m.. I would like to tell my story.. I almost went into preterm with her on my 32 week.. but they managed to get at least 2 weeks in before that ultimate day.. On wednesday april 9th I was on here as I normally am.. checking on friends and reading all the forums loving and enjoying how other moms cope with their pregnancies and how we all share or stories.. I believe on that day I wrote in the 35th week forum that I was going to be extra lazy because I was feeling pressure. I was preparing dinner and my husband was working his late hours.. I felt weird that day and managed to keep low.. I was eating dinner with my daughter when all of a sudden I felt like someone punched my between my legs.. I got up quickly and a rush of water came down in between my legs.. I couldn't believe what was happening and I began to panic.. I rushed to the phone and tried contacting my husband but couldn't reach him water was just gushing all over the place and at this point I was in tears.. I got in touch with the in-laws who immediately rushed over with my husband and we all headed to the hospital.. sure enough my water broke and there was no way to stop anything.. I was monitored for a bit until they had the labor and delivery room ready.. the contractions were coming hard but were irregular.. they gave me medicine to make them come quicker to dilate me.. I was already 3 centimeters upon arrival at the hospital.. I tried dealing with the pain but begged for the epidural.. few minutes later after midnight I began feeling pain and had to put my legs up.. I told them I felt like taking a crap but I knew the baby was there.. they told me to hold on they check and I was 5 centi at 1:00 am.. the pain got severe and the tech had to come back they didn't understand why the epidural stopped working.. all of a sudden my daughter's heartbeat began to drop.. I was scared and my stomach felt odd.. I began to tear but held fast.. they lost her heartbeat they told me to lean to the side and there her heart was again but it was beginning to fail.. the doc came in and checked me but I saw her face was stern.. She checked me again and I was 8 centi so fast.. she told me "thats it you are going to push!' I said "what! at 8 centimeters!" she told me I had to because the cord was strangling my baby in the canal..OH my GoD my heart sank I didn't care how I would hurt myself but she had to come out.. I began pushing with all my might to only hear my baby's heartbeat slowing down... her head was right there and the nurse dug into my vagina stretching it to get to the cord.. she told me sorry she had no time to numb were she needed to cut me.. I told her go ahead.. she cut my a bit open dug in and got the cord where she cut it as soon as it was visible to her.. my daughter came out screaming! Oh yes thank God!! Her screams were music to my ears.. she was tiny and loud.. I cried my eyes out along with my husband... she was 5 pounds and 5 ounces and 18 inches... wide awake and so cute .. I call her my jumping bean because she is tiny... I got to take her home today .. the docs were amazed of how strong and healthy she was.. and let her come home with just a 2 night stay at the hospital.. I am glad that the epidural wore off.. that was GOD because he knew something was going on inside of there.. because if it would have numbed me I would have not known.. GoD she is beautiful.. my Ahriana Estrella..born early at 35 weeks and 5 days but born a fighter!! God bless all the mothers that have shared their journeys with me and mine with theirs... wishing all you happy and healthy babies.. God bless!! I am sore down there lol but having my 2nd child home and healthy is the best healing in the world!
