Well I have had 3 kids. And my DD born December 15 was born at 36 weeks. I went into labor at 34 weeks, and it wouldn't go away, they stopped it twice and then at 36 weeks, the Monday before she was born(she was born on a Wednesday) I went into labor again. Dilated 3 cent. and then they stopped it and said if it comes back again, then they will take her( I have had c-sections). And well it came back Tuesday night, and they kept me over night to monitor me and delivered her in the morning. She was healthy as can be and everything went great.
But lol My first born was crazy, I went into labor like once a week for the last 2 months of my pregnancy. He wasn't staying in for nothing. They kept stopping the labor and making me stay in bed. Sucked but it helped keep him in until 36 weeks. After being in labor for about 48 hours(stopped counting after that long) I finally dilated to 10, and began pushing. Pushed for oh 4
1/2 hours, my epidural was in wrong and flowing throughout my body, I was week, I had severe toxemia, and all the damn drugs were killing me. So after our heartrates were both dropping rapidly they decided c section. so off I went. I was on the table and he began to cut, I FELT IT! And they put me all the way out, I wouldn't wake up and my heart stopped, they had to paddle me back and then I wouldn't breath on my own for 2 1/2 hours, someone had to hand pump my lungs until I came back all the way and could breath. It was nuts. He was week and wouldn't eat for 3 days. he wasn't to little but 5 lbs
15 oz is still not as big as they would have liked. I didn't get to see him for almost 5 days, they had to keep watch on him and it totally messed up my head. I didn't feel like I had even had a baby, and when I did see him, I didn't think he was mine. I slipped into a bad depression and it took a while to get used to the fact that even though I didn't see him born or soon after he was my baby. We were both in the hospital for 2 weeks, and I had to later return because I had an almost deadly infection in my incision. I had the worst experience ever, and I wasn't going to have kids ever again. Then I switched doctors and well my next 2 kids were the easiest thing ever! the c-sections went perfect and it was great! I hope I didn't scare you, but what happened to me was rare as far as I know. You will be okay, my brother was born 2 1/2 months early and he was fine. he was in the hospital for a while but still went home a month before he was even due. They have so much medical technology now that anything can be done and fixed. Don't be scared and if you want to talk you can email me and I will give you my number and we can talk. I love new moms and I think having someone to talk to who is pregnant or just had a bay is a huge plus.!! And it helps with the anxiety of having a new baby.
Well I really really hope I didn't scare you!I would feel horrible, my story is scary but it has made me stronger knowing that I made it threw all of it.
Congrats !! I want to see pics when she is born!
Also what are you naming her?
