Veda-Giselle-Nissi-Gregory`s birthstory

I called my midwife after having more symptoms of preeclampsia and was sent to the emergency room on the 19th, after undergoing some blood tests and urine analysis and having a constant blood pressure of 140/90+ they decided to admit me and induce me in the morning. The night as ended with a cervidal strip that hurt like hell being insterted, and a dose of ambian that messed me up pretty badly. I had a horrible reaction to the sleep aide and started hallucinating (I called my mom a pineapple) and vomiting. I didn`t remember a thing the next day. I cried a lot because I would be put on a pitocin drip in the morning, and I was planning a waterbirth out if hospital. :(
The next morning I was put on the pitocin and decided on an epidural after 4 piggybacking contractions that were so strong they were almost off the charts. I managed to deal with them through breathing and the epi didn`t hurt. Good thing I got it though, because at 6 pm I was checked by the doc. and pronounced to be 80 percent effaced and not a centimeter dilated. My WORST fear had come true, c-section. It had to happen though because of my blood pressure. The c-section hurt like hell. I screamed after the baby was out and they were working on my abdomen. I didn`t want to hold her or even see her when she was out of me. I hadn`t processed the c section yet and I couldn`t handle the baby. My partner cut the cord and I was given a good amount of stronger drugs. I don`t remember how much time lapsed between the csection and me getting to hold her but the pain was intense and lasted my entire hospital stay of four days due to a significant amount of blood loss during surgery (I needed a transfusion). My baby girl is beautiful though and I love her so much! Ive had some stints of baby blues and a uti from the catheder but I am a lot better. I don`t think I could endure another c section though, and am traumatized to have anymore children. Nothing could have been a worse experiance for me then this. Atleast I have my baby girl to hold even though it hurts :)
