Jovey-Michael`s birthstory

ON DECEMBER 5TH I WENT IN FOR A REGULAR APPOINTMENT. MY BLOOD PRESSURE WAS HIGH FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE. MY DOCTOR HAD MY COME BACK ON THE 7TH, AGAIN MY PRESSURE WAS HIGH. SO I WENT BACK IN ON MONDAY THE 10TH. MY PRESSURE WAS 140/100. THE DOCTOE DID A PELVIC AND I WAS 2CM AND 20% EFFACED. SHE SAID I THINK IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO HAVE THIS BABY. SO SHE CALLED UP THE HOSPITAL AND TOLD THEM I WAS COMING IN. IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT MY HUSBAND`S JOB HAD NO WORK FOR HIM THAT DAY. SO WE CALLED UP MY IN LAWS AND TOLD THEM WE WERE GOING IN AND PICKED UP MY OTHER TWO DAUGHTERS FROM SCHOOL AND EXPLAINED TO THE THREE OF THEM THAT I WAS GOING TO HAVE THE BABY. MY YOUNGEST WAS A LITTLE UPSET AND TOLD US SHE WAS GOING UPSTAIRS FOREVER WHEN THE BABY CAME HOME. ANYWAY WE GRABBED SOME PIZZA AND LEFT TO THE HOSPITAL. WE GOT THERE ABOUT 3:15 P.M. THEY HOOKED ME UP TO THE MONITORS AND DREW BLOOD TO CHECK FOR TOXEMIA. THE DOCTOR WANTED TO WAIT AND GET THE RESULTS BACK BEFORE HE DECIDED TO DO CERVADIL OR PITOCIN. ABOUT 4:30 P.M. HE CAME BACK IN AND TOLD ME THAT I HAD TOXEMIA AND PROTEIN IN MY URINE. SO PITOCIN IT WAS. THE HOOKED ME UP WITH THE PITOCIN AND I NEEDE TO TAKE MAGNESIUM SO THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE A SEIZURE OR STROKE WHILE IN LABOR. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I HAD PRE ECLAMPSIA. HE DID A PELVIC AND I WAS 3CM AND 50 % EFFACED. I WAS HAVING LITTLE CONTRACTIONS FROM THE NIGHT BEFORE SO I STARTED TO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE RIGHT AWAY. BUT I HELD OFF. AROUND 6:00 P.M. I DECIDED TO GO WITH THE EPIDURAL. I WAS 4 CM AND 100% EFFACED. MY PRESSURE STARTED TO STABALIZE A LITTLE BETTER AFTER THE EPIDURAL. AROUND 7 P.M. HE CAME BACK AND BROKE MY WATER. TO MY SURPRISE IT CAME OUT GREENISH BLACK. I DID NOT EXPECT THAT. SO HE SAID THAT IF AT ANY TIME THERE WAS A CHANGE IN THE BABY`S HEART RATE THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO AN EMERGENCY C-SECTION. THEY PUT IN THE DOOPLER TO GET A BETTER RATE ON THE BABY AND THE CONTRACTIONS. I STARTED TO GET EVEN MORE SCARED THEN. AROUND 8:45 P.M. I STARTED TO FEEL MORE PAIN AND REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. SO I ASKED IF THEY COULD GIVE MY A LITTLE MORE RELIEF ON THE EPIDURAL. THEY WANTED TO CHECK ME AND I WAS 8 CM. THEY ASKED IF I WAS SURE THAT I WANTED IT BECAUSE I COULD GIVE BIRTH IN AN HOUR OR SO. BUT I STILL WANTED IT, I REGRET IT NOW BECAUSE I WAS SO NUMB THAT I COULD NOT EVEN MOVE MY LEGS WHEN I WAS PUSHING. ANYWAY THEY STARTED TO SET UP FOR THE BABY BECAUSE OF THE MECONIUM THERE HAD TO BE A NEONATOLOGIST PRESENT. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER I STARTED TO FEEL THE HEAD MOVE DOWN ITO THE BIRTH CANAL AND THE NURSE NOTICED IT ON THE MONITOR TOO. I FELT LIKE I HAD TP PUSH. THE NURSE RAN OUT TO GET THE DOCTOR AND THEY STARTED TO SET UP FOR DELIVERY. AT 9:49 P.M. JOVEY WAS BORN. THE HAD TO MONITOR HIM FIRST AND WATCH MY BLEEDING BECAUSE OF THE MAGNESIUM. HE WEIGHED 9 LBS 10 OZ AND WAS 21 INCHES LONG. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN OVER 10 LBS IF HE WAS BORN ON ON HIS DUE DATE. HE IS A GREAT BABY SO FAR.
