Hi everyone,
Went in at 11:30am on Thursday for my 1:00pm scheduled csection at 39 weeks and 1 day. Everything was going fine and then I suddenly lost my shit and started cry...the poor nurse. I blame the hormones. Got wheeled back to the room, got my spinal put in and the doc said hurry and put your feet up, got laid out naked (no modesty left after this procedure folks, let me tell you)
Here's where it got sketchy. The spinal didn't work. I could feel pins and needles sensation in my left leg and everything in my right. They started doing things so fast, the drape went up, they are talking, then I feel poking pain and yell ow! My dr says what do you mean ow, you can feel that? I say yes and they say uh oh. Next thing I know they are talking about lidocaine locally, using the gas and something in my IV. I start panicking because I just don't want to feel anything and then he pushes the IV med and everything starts spinning, the lights are bright and whirling by, voices are loud then muffled and I feel like I'm spiraling in a bad movie. Next thing I know I'm waking up in SO MUCH PAIN. I got 4 IV injections of Demerol which didn't help and then morphine.
DH comes in and says our baby girl Charlotte Anne is perfect and weighs 7lbs 2oz and is 20 3/4 inches long. I spend an hour in recovery and finally get to hold her once I'm in my room. She is latching like a pro and getting the colostrum which I'm super excited about. She currently in the nursery under the Billie light for a bit of jaundice.
Other than that we are all recovering and walking with a csection incision is no joke!! She's a love bug and all the nursery nurses love her because she's the quiet one haha.
ETA- pictures!
