Anthony-Jr.`s birthstory

Well I had a headache for about 2 days and on the last day I didnt sleep at all that night. So when I finally got out of bed the next day my head was killing me, I was dizzy, I was seeing spots in my vision so I called the the doctor to see If I could take somethin stronger for what I thought was now a major migraine. I explained everything to the doctor and she told me to get to the hospital immediately, she thought it was preeclampsia. SO I called my husband and told him what she told me and he rushed home from work to take me to the hospital. While I was waiting the doctor kept calling my phone asking if I was there yet, and I knew something was really wrong. When I got there I went straight to the mother and baby floor for them to triage me. The whole time I could barely see, my vision became so bad I couldnt really see where I was going and I couldnt even read the forms the nurse wanted me to feel out, and the whole time I was trying to answer the questions, I knew what i wanted to say but the words just wouldnt come out and I got so scared. When they took my blood pressure it was 192/120 and I had protein in my urine, my face and body period was so swollen and they said it was definitely preeclampsia. At that point I was terrified because the nurse said i had for sure had a seizure and probably passed out and didnt even realize it since I was already in bed. I couldnt answer anymore questions because even though I knew what i wanted to say, verbally it wouldnt come out....lol i know its hard to understand. So she hooked me up to and IV and gave me some magnesium to try and get my pressure down. She then informed me that if it went down I could try and be induced and have the baby vaginally or if it was still high they would do and emergency c-section....either way I was having the baby that day, no ifs ands or buts. Well it was dangerously high and they rushed me to labor and delivery to have me wait and see what the other test results were. When I saw the nurse come in with the surgical gown for my husband I knew what was happening and they had the neonatologist, anesthesiologist, my ob, and some other doctors in to tell me what was about to happen. When they rolled me in the opertating room he nurse was telling me to move onto the table and I couldnt see where she was...my vision was gone...im terrified on the verge of tears and just wanting my baby to be safe because I was only 32 weeks and 3 days. They did the spinal block and let my husband in and I was so scared. I could feel them pulling and pushing and when it felt like they popped something out I heard him start screaming and all I could do is start crying. LOL everything was so rushed that we didnt even have a camera to take pictures. I couldnt believe i had given birth to my son. They let his dad cut the cord and told me everything was ok....and then they let me see him before they took him out. I feel so extremely blessed because he didnt need to be on a ventilator or anything, he was breathing on his own and had absolutely no complications.
