hi girls!!
Sorry it took me so long to update but its been a rough recovery..here is my birth story..
Rowan and I were napping on June 3. I woke up from my nap and was wet.. He had been pushing on my bladder for awhile so i was unsure if i peed myself or if my water broke because i wasnt really having many contractions. Called the dr. and she told me to go to the hospital to get checked.
Well i did infact pee myself (ooops) but was already 5 cm so they didnt see a point in sending me home. I told her that i was concerned because he felt either transverse or breach to me( i have felt this for weeks). She checked me again and said that he was breach and that i had two options. 1. try and do an inverse (turn him) or do a csection..
She said the inverse had a 60-80% chance of working so i figured i would give that a chance. They gave me an epi which didnt do much to help the pain.. LET ME TELL YOU, at that moment i thought it was the worse pain i have EVER been through. She tried turning him to the right twice with no success and then to left where his heart beat went super low and that is when i had to get an emergency csection..
I was super scared because the dr. and nurses looked so scared. They took me to the OR where they started cutting me with no surgical epi. Eric was trying to calm me but the pain was horrible and i pretty much felt everything. they finally put me completely under and i didnt even get to see Carson when he was first born.
I actually dont even remember them bringing him in after i woke up from recovery. It as horrible.. He is super cute and healthy so hopefully someday the memory of the pain fades.
Carson John, 7 lbs, 19" in long! with lots of hair! (well compared to rowan that is:)
Re: hi girls!!
i'm sorry you went through that. i can't imagine. i'm glad everyone is safe and that Carson is enjoying life with his big brother!
how have you recovered from the c-section in general?
Thanks for checking in!
I'm sorry Carson's birth was so painful! I cannot imagine going in for a section and feeling it. I hope the memory of the pain fades soon.
He is absolutely perfect, and Rowan looks so sweet with him!
What a cute picture!
I can't even imaging going through that. You are one tough cookie!! Hope you're feeling better!
That is one of my biggest fears about labor/delivery. Glad to hear you're doing ok though. Your boys are too cute!
