So about 20 minutes ago my son choked on “mucus”. My friend was visiting us in the hospital. We were talking and she looked at us and said “he’s really purple” so I screamed and grabbed him flipped him over patted his chest and swiped his mouth out and she went and called for help. I had an anxiety attack as they were checking him and clearing him out. He was choking on mucus that’s apparently from the amniotic fluid. Never experienced that with my daughter. In fact I’m finding this baby to be a huge difference. Anyway, I feel like I came very close losing him and now I just feel depressed and confused and like an awful mother and like I’m never gonna sleep again......

I’m glad I’m not the only person who experienced this. Although it was a terrible experience it’s made me so much more aware to pay attention to the Little details. It’s just so sad to think our babies are so very fragile...☹️
It’s very scary. Glad he’s ok. We bought an Owlet baby monitor for this reason.
Same thing happened with my daughter. She had it happen several times and they ended up suctioning her 3 times. We stayed in the hospital the full 5 days after the c-section because I was too afraid to leave. It's one of the reasons I want this baby to come naturally before the c-section date. It was so scary.
When I had Salem, he wouldn’t eat, and the nurses kept forcing me to feed him. Suddenly he started throwing up the blood he swallowed in canal and it was the scariest thing ever. He must have felt so nauseous and the nurses just kept force feeding him. I’m glad your baby is okay!
That’s what happened with my son, my boss was visiting me in the hospital (she was like a second mom to me) and we were talking and she looked down and saw my son was choking. She picked him up and started patting his back. When I was in the hospital I was so stressed about it I didn’t sleep the whole 3 days because I didn’t want to take the chance of not being able to help him when he did choke. I was told it’s normal for some babies to get a big gulp of amniotic fluid before they’re delivered. Being that I had a c-section it was even harder to just jump up and help him
Same thing happened to my daughter! The nurses said it’s real common. But it never happened with my son so I was scared when it happened to my daughter. It’s only happened twice, on the day she was born and the day after.
I'm sorry hun! *hugs* it will get better just give him a couple days! The same thing happened with my daughter when she was first born and my husband ran out into the hall way and screamed for help. That was the scariest moment of my life and even when I think back to it, it haunts me but everything has worked itself out ❤️
Your comments definitely made me feel better and less alone. My nurse said it was common too but that didn’t make it hurt any less. It felt like my world shattered and if he wasn’t okay it would have ended.
