( THIS IS LONG && REMEMBER EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT AND MY EXPERIENCE MAY NOT BE YOURS !!! )
Okay I️ said I’d post my delivery story today so here goes . Monday 11/6 at 7:20 am I️ arrived at the hospital for my scheduled c-section . I️ was 39 weeks and 3 days. I️ headed up to labor and delivery and we got started on everything. Everything was going smooth until it was time to start an IV . Now this whole pregnancy I’ve been the perfect stick with actually taking my iron and staying super hydrated. I’m severely anemic pregnant or not . They went to start the IV and they can’t find anything , like legit nothing . I️ explain to them where a good vein is cause I’ve been dealing with this for as long as I️ can remember and I️ directed them on how deep it was and how to maneuver to get to the actual vein 😂. So they finally get it after 5 min of trying and then guess what IT BLOWS 🤨🤨🤨. Seriously 😒 okay so here we go again. We find another one after a few tight bands and fist pumps later . It’s so tiny nothing happens . 6 more sticks later in various places around my hand and arms and we’re a whole HOUR INTO IT ! We still get Nothing . I’m frustrated and crying cause we have to have this for the procedure . I️ was having active labor contractions so that’s didn’t make things anymore comfortable. They call nurses from all over the hospital to try . It was times I️ had two nurses sticking at once . They finally get the anesthesiologist to come in she can find it either . They go get a sono machine and find the vein that way and use that to Gide themselves into the freaking liquid gold . Omg finally !!! After all that I️ calmed down and 20 min later was wheeled off to have baby . I️ get prepped for the spinal and they start and guess what?? Had to stuck twice cause it wasn’t in the right spot . & of course I️ felt it all. It finally worked the second time around and we were finally ready to start to meet our son. Took What felt like forever but close to 15-20 min later he was out and screaming ! 😍😍. They took him away to do all their checking and test ect . Daddy was with him and they finished up on me took about 30min after that because of all the scar tissue she had to remove . My placenta was fused to my bladder and that’s why everything took so long to getting him out and me closed up . That moment was the most anxiety I️ ever felt in my life . They were pushing so much meds it had me out of it . We had to go so far up to remove scar tissue and had to stop cause she didn’t want to do it “blind” and not see what she was doing . All was well and finally was closed up. From all the meds I️ was sick for a total of 10 hours of constant throwing up and in and out of sleep . I️ held my baby for a total of 15 seconds on the first day because I️ was so sick . But, my family and daddy held down the fort while the nurses stayed by my side constantly. I️ felt better the next day and was able to do a little more but they kept pushing nausea meds and Benadryl because of all the itching . But, I was still able to be up a little more .
@ariachannell, he’s doing okay , and my body is going crazy . So I’m currently at urgent care
@lovely3048, I made it through , so I’m blessed !!! 🙌🏾
@ariachannell, aww that’s good ! You still at Walmart ? I was looking for you when I go in there .
Wow what an experience. I'm sorry so much went wrong but so glad u have ur adorable little boy now ♡ glad ur up and feeling a bit better now. Hoping u have a quick and speedy recovery 🙏💕
@mamabearof2 shes doing good shes the same way she cries when shes hungry or need to be changed
@ariachannell, he is doing pretty good . Last night was his best night . He really only cries when hungry and wet/pooping. He doesn’t like that air touching him at all.
@ariachannell, it was the worst experience for me by far that day but I’m glad I’m over it and came through the storm .
@ariachannell, yea sitting back relaxing with my legs propped up .
@ariachannell, seriously this is normally the issue when I’m not pregnant I️ get stuck several times . But everything had been going okay this whole pregnancy. I️ have the tiniest veins and I️ have none that stick out like most people’s.
@ariachannell, yes I️ love her and her staff . I️ need to get them a gift cause they were awesome . And the nurses in labor and delivery that were with me . I️ couldn’t have had a better team honestly . It was a lot but they never gave up .
@ariachannell, yes I️ had a total of 7 nurses come and try .
@ariachannell, she wasn’t the problem . My scar tissue didn’t come from her . & with any surgery it’s a risk of scar tissue . Some people just have it worse than others .
@ariachannell, yea for the most part , still a struggle to get around and to keep this swelling in my feet and legs down.
Home ? getting to know each other
There are a few new people so thought id start a post so we can get to know these people ? il start
So I keep feeling these lil sharp pains on my right side. You do get pains like that before you start your period right.? Remember I had that dark brown spotting for a few hours last month on the 22. My period suppose to start today.
I had a frappe around 10pm so I’m still up. Finally getting tired now and as soon as I close my eyes this little nugget pokes me. 💜
Wow I'm so sorry you went through that
