May 26th at about 1 a.m. CST I had some belly tightness and a little pain. I had to pee every two - three contractions. They were 7-8 minutes a part. By 2:00 a.m., they were 2-3 minutes a part. I text my mother with one word, "Mommy!" That way she knows something is wrong. She works nights, so a text was needed. She told me it could be gas to wait another 30 minutes. I had my husband call L&D around 4:15 a.m. to let them know we would be there by 6 a.m. I took a shower, my husband got our two kids ready, we grabbed the bags and proceeded to drop each child off at their respective destinations.
I get to L&D the nurse said I was 3cm and tried to send me home because they were changing shifts at 7 a.m. My RCS doctor came in (she just got on shift) after I pretty much refused to leave without seeing a doctor, and she said I was 4cm and water bag bulging. She said I was in labor, and active labor means I get a room. She assured me I could have a VBAC, and I assured her that it was necessary for me to have this tubal ligation. I was whisked away and prepped for surgery.
Can I take a moment to say contractions hurt really bad. I had an epidural pretty early last time, so I never felt this kind of pain before. I cannot believe that last nurse and doctor tried to send me home. Ummmm I cannot walk out of this thing without curling up in the fetal position. I gave her the I will kill you look if you do not get away from me. Luckily the oncoming nurse came and said I won't let you leave until the doctor checks you! I owe her everything.
Turns out I had a lot of scarring, so my c-section too longer than expected. She took baby Julius out and held him up over the curtain like Simba. I was so out of it from the medicine that I barely noticed he was up there. They cleaned him off weighed him (9lbs 1oz, 20 inches, born at 9:06 a.m.), and my husband cut the cord and all that good stuff and they brought him over for me to see. I could not keep my eyes open long enough to get a good look. My husband left with the baby to the recovery room where they bathed the baby and all that good stuff. I still had to get my tubal ligation.
One of my tubes had to be removed completely because it was huge. It is supposed to look skinny like a pencil, but it was fat like a sausage. Before she removed it the team called the surgeon in to have a look and oversee the removal. Glad I had that looked at because she said on a scan it would have looked like a mass. After they were done I got to go in the recovery room and breast feed my little one.
My little man is so hairy. Yikes, I mean it is everywhere. 0_0 He makes me smile though with all of those cute baby coos.
Thanks for reading. Good luck to all of the moms left, and for the ones who have gone through and anticipates to do a med-free birth, You guys are freaking Super Sheros!
