My delivery story (first layout of two)
To make a long story short:
My baby was born on Tuesday March 15th. He made his arrival on earth a wild adventure.
I had to go to the hospital on Monday March 14th. They had to induce my labor because of the medicine (syringes) I had to give myself on a daily bases. The doctors didn't want to let me go over his due date.
The plan was to induce my labor on Monday evening and give birth on Tuesday.
Everything went well until Tuesday around noon.
It all went too slow. And they wanted to give me epidural. But it turns out I have a bad back and my vertebrae (I hope that is a work, because I had to use google translate) are to close together to put the needle in. They had to try 4 times to get it right.
The epidural made my baby troubled and restless and he didn't respond well. The epidural also made my contractions stop. They gave me medicine to start the contractions again. And they tried to calm down my baby. But nothing worked. And it would take at least 8 hours until he would be born. So they decided it was best that he was born with an emergency c-section.
They rushed me to the operation room.
But when they moved me from one bed to the other bed, the epidural got loose.
So when they were about to start the c-section, they couldn't etherize me. They tried several times and gave me the highest dose possible, I could still feel everything.
After 20 minutes, they ran out of time and they decided to put me under full anesthesia to get my baby.
So I missed the actual birth of my baby.
He is healthy and doing great, but not being there the moment he was born, is emotionally and mentally really hard.
But I feel so blessed he made it.
