anyways.. so here's the longest and most complicated birth story yet
ok so on friday morning i woke up around 5 am and i was having bad stomach pains and contractions five minutes apart and i was really uncomfortable so we went to the hospital and i really thought i was in labor, but AGAIN was only 2 cm's and got sent home saying i was only in 'prodomal labor'.. the lady stretched my cervix in hopes to gte things going but oh lord did it do more worse then good...
so we went back to barry's work and i was trying to relax and even laid down to try and ease some of the pain and actually got to take a nap.. but then i woke back up around 2 and was in really bad pain and passing a fair amount of blood and my contractions got worse.. so i called the doctor and went back to the hospital
at the hospital i was checked and was having contractions 3 minutes apart and was still only 2 cm's.. but my mom talked to the doctor and talked him into letting me stay..so i was admitted around 3 pm.. took a nice hot bath and watched some tv and walked around for a bit with my mom.. around 9 pm barry came to the hospital because things started getting worse and i was starting to dialate..
at 10 30 the doctor came in to check me and said that i was 4 cm's and then SURPRISE! he broke my water.. he didn't even tell me he was going to do it.. it scared the hell out of me.. i gasped so loud and was almost in shock.. but i calmed down then and got to relax a bit..
around 12 i started feeling the worst pain in my back and i was on the verge of crying and by this time i was in 19 hours of labor and exhausted.. so i took the epidural.. even though i was terrified.. but i got it, and it was nice, and i got to sleep ...
unfortunately.. around 5 am i woke up screaming.. i was in the worst pain i've ever felt in my life.. the nurses and doctor came in said i was 8 cm's and called the epi guy as soon as they could and he came in... he pumped me full of drugs but nothing seemed to help my stomach and back, though my legs did go completely numb.. he said my catheter moved.. so i had to get it redone.. so out comes the epi, in goes a new one.. and life was good again..
i woke back up at 7 30 and felt an enormous pressure.. so the doctor comes in to check me and says that i'm 9 cm's dialated.. so he went away for like 20 minutes and came back in and said i was fully dialated and could start to push... so my midwife comes in and gets me all ready to push and what not
so i start pushing at 8 00.. things were going really well until 9 30.. and people started to get worried.. but they let me push for another half hour to see if it would help anything, which it didn't.. the doctor suggested we use the vacuum to try and get her out.. so i agreed, by this time i just wanted her out of me.. so they got her all hooked up to the vacuum and he told me to push and he pulled and the vacuum literally tore off!! and then the worst words in the world were said to me 'get her prepped for a emergency c section'... i lost it.. i started crying and crying and didn't stop..
so i get wheeled into the surgery room and they pump me full of meds to numb me.. i ask the guy 'so are there cases of where you cant feel them cutting the skin but can feel them cutting your organs.. ' and the guy was like 'yeah, but it's VERY rare'... well low and behold.. the skin was cut, no biggie.. they cut into my uterus and i scream.. i could feel it all.. and within five seconds they ripped my mom away from me and i was out..
i woke up and was seeing double and everything was really blurry.. my mom comes over with the baby to show her to me and i see two and i'm like.. 'OMG ARE YOU SURE THERE WAS ONE' and everyone started laughing.. and then i dont' remember much of the rest of the day.. lol
but anyways.. Evelyn Rose Kenee was born may 13th.. she was 7 pounds 13 ounces and 21 inches long.. she is the love of my life.. i wasn't expecting her to have such dark hair and skin but i think sh'es beautiful |
