Well...she's here....although a bit early...

Hi ladies,
I realize I've been MIA for a while but just wanted to check in and let you know that my daughter has arrived....a bit unexpected as my due date wasn't until September 7th, but I guess my little one had other plans....
Violet Hermione was born on June 22nd at 2 pounds 15 ounces 16 inches. Although she will be in the NICU for a while, overall she is doing well and all tests that have been done so far to check her overall health have come back just fine. It's going to be a long summer waiting for her to be big and strong enough to come home.
I don't even know how it all happened - this whole pregnancy had been pretty uneventful up until the 24 week mark when I started bleeding. Went to the hospital then, they discovered I had placenta previa and kept me for observation. 4 days later, I was discharged and told to take it easy. At the 28 week mark, I had a sonogram to check if the placenta moved, which it did and I was told that if I were to deliver, it would not require a c section. Literally 4 days later, I was at home folding some shirts to put away when I felt something trickling down my leg and I look and see blood. Ran to the bathroom and a huge clot of blood came out so H and I rushed to the hospital where they discovered that not only did the placenta abrupt, but my water broke and I was in labor. They gave me meds to try to stop the labor and honestly, I had no idea I was in labor - I felt no contractions. I was then told I would be kept there for the remainder of the pregnancy, but that they could deliver the baby any day depending on how the baby was tolerating being in me as well as whether or not the bleeding would stop or get worse. Next day, the bleeding got worse and they had to do an emergency c section. It happened so quick, I didn't have time to process what was happening. Scary doesn't even begin to describe how I felt, but I'm relieved that I'm okay, and more importantly, my child is okay.
Btw, we were team green - we had no idea what we were having until she was born....most people thought we were having a boy but surprise!

I'm so sorry that her birth was so scary, but I'm glad she is doing well and you are okay. I hope she continues to grow strong and the remainder of her NICU stay goes smoothly.

I've gone through so many emotions in all of this. When they were wheeling me into the operating room, I was crying saying this isn't supposed to happen now. The day they discharged me, I cried because I was still in shock that I had my baby yet she wasn't coming home with us. It's gotten a little better but I still cry because I just want her to come home. The hospital has been amazing though - they are taking such good care of Violet and they are very big on skin to skin contact so I get to hold her everyday. They are also very big on breast feeding....I can't just yet because Violet isn't ready so I pump milk and they feed her that. It's hard though due to the nature of the delivery and her being so early....my full milk hasn't come in yet. Hopefully soon so I can keep up with her....
Wow, what a scary turn of events and delivery. I'm glad they were able to get the two steroid doses into you and it made a big difference in her lung development. I had them when I went into preterm labour but fortunetly did not have to experience half of what you did.
Beautiful baby and beautiful name. Here is hoping she grows and thrives and you can bring her home sooner rather than later.
