Hi friends!
I hope it's ok for me to re intro....it's been forever! After my dramatic and horrible birth of my daughter i just lost touch and then kept lurking instead. I'll try and give you the major points.
- Painful Prodromal labour for 3 weeks, so barely any sleep for me.
- They finally admitted me 5 days after her due date after the 3rd time at the hospital.
- My cervix refused to progress due to my hips being too small, she never would have fit.(wish they knew this before labour started)
- C section after her heart rate kept dropping
- Lost 2L of blood during c section complications (they had to rip me back open and fix the bleeding)
- After 5 days home I ended up having a brain hemorrhage (felt like the worst migraine of my life and I couldn't lay down or sit down without feeling like I was going to die)
- my blood pressure was 195 when I got to the ER and I had actually gained weight due to all the swelling I had. They gave me WAY too much fluid for my size while I was there giving birth.
- 7 days in hospital wishing they could just put me out of my misery all while my husband was taking care of our newborn daughter.
- PPD and PTSD reared its ugly head soon after getting home
- Quit breastfeeding soon after which was super difficult to decide to do, but I was so much better after I did stop.
- 16 months later I'm crazy enough to want to have one more lol. Scheduled section this time around.
Sorry to be a Debbie downer! I don't tell many people my story as it's just depressing and I'm so over it. I survived and my daughter is happy and healthy and that's all that matters to me. As you can imagine my husband was very reluctant to even consider having another one due to all of this. But I still want one more and he is now thankfully on board.
I can't believe how grown up my DD is now, she's not a baby anymore that's for sure. We've officially started TFAS and the TWW sucks balls. I hate it so much.
Sorry it's so long and hopefully you'll have me back 😊
