Aaron-Isaiah...`s birthstory

At 11:45am on March 26th I went to the doctor’s for a routine check-up. In the prior week the doctors had told me if my baby was still measuring small the next week, they’d induce me. At the appt. my baby’s heart rate was fluctuating, and she decided to send me to the doctor to measure my baby, which would also decide if I would be induce. When I arrived at the next doctor’s, I started to experience contractions... when I went back to be examined, we found out that the baby had grown in size but still was measuring small. They also told us that the baby had some brain sparing... which the doctor told me the baby was preserving his brain... but at the cost of his body growing... he was now estimated to weigh 6 lbs and 3 oz... They also said though I was 38 weeks, but he was measuring 36 weeks in size, so he called my other doctor and they decided to induce me.

I was so excited but so nervous, and I still didn’t feel completely ready. I began to cry, and then I decided I’d call everyone and inform them. I went back home with my grandmother to gather the baby and my things as we headed to the hospital. Because I was being induced early, I was not going to deliver at my hospital of choice and was taken to M.G. Hospital for delivery. When we got there, I changed into my gown, and they told me to use the bathroom so they could take a sample.. it was then I couldn’t be strong anymore and I began to cry uncontrollable... I was so scared, and I couldn’t believe I was there to have my baby... I remember the nurse asked me... `do you believe in God?` I answered her `yes,` and she told me then put this in God’s hands and that I had nothing to worry about.

Shortly after, my bestfriend Val arrived, and within a few short mins. my brother’s girlfriend, Candace, arrived. My sister Cherelle arrived shortly after... and this was my crew for the birth of my baby... The doctors inserted my IV and gave me Pictin to increase my contractions... between the contractions and being checked, I was SCREAMING.. It hurt SOO BAD! The doctor informed me I wasn’t dilating past 2cms so she suggested I get my epidural, and that would speed up labor. Once it kicked in... I felt SOOO MUCH BETTER. The doctor broke my water.. We were all joking and having fun. I got a headache, and they gave me some Tylenol... The doctor informed me I still wasn’t dilating and she wanted to do the c-section because the baby’s heart rate was dramatically dropping and I wasn’t dilating... while they began to prep the OR... I waited in my room with my family... My brother had arrived and I waved at him... it was then I started to feel sick.. It got worst, and I couldn’t talk, or move... They say I was crying with no sound, and I started shaking, convulsing, and gasping for air... I remember I couldn’t breathe.. my grandma was crying.... my brother ran down the hall to get help because the nurses hadn’t responded to the nurse call button... something was wrong...

The nurses and doctors came in but no one could figure what was wrong.. after about 30 min... I was responsive... I still shook alittle... but it was important to proceed with the c-section... my sister came with me for the delivery.. once I got to the OR... I was feeling better... and they were numbing me more... it took 15 min. for me to get completely numb... they began the procedure... I was talking to my sis and she was soo excited... she took pics and recorded the birth... I remember hearing my little man cry and I began crying so hard... it was the best feeling I’ve ever had in my life.... my boy was finally here... I just wanted to see him...

With every cry... I was more filled with love... my sis went over and took pics... they announced his birth time 2:44am, and weight 6lbs and .02oz... they brought him to me and I kissed him... then they took him away... my sis kept telling me how beautiful he was... It was all priceless... after 20 more min... I was sewed up and taken to my recovery room. I was alone... I couldn’t believe I was now a mother... everyone came in screaming he’s so beautiful... I was taken to my room shortly there after... and I had another episode of convulsing... they gave me more meds... and I began to itch uncontrollable... I remember scratching so much and it was so bad I began to bleed... they ended up giving me meds to reverse all the meds they gave me.. and after that I was fine.. but because of the reversal I now felt ALL OF THE PAIN FROM THE C-SECTION... Once my other meds kicked in for the pain I was fine... My little man came in the room... and I was immediately in love when they put him in my arms... There he was.. Aaron Isaiah...

I was in the hospital until March 31st... and I wasn’t ready to come home because there I had soo much help from the nurses... it’s now my 2nd night home.. and it wasn’t as bad as I thought... I have alot of help here.. and I am in complete bliss... my miracle baby is here... Now my life... it’s truly beginning.. he gives it new meaning... I love being his mommy... I am TRULY BLESSED and I would go through it all again... as long as in the end... I still had my baby boy... Thank you Jesus for such a wonderful blessing...
