Sorry I been M.i. a something was wrong with my memory card.

I had been in and out of the hospital since the beginning of December. In that time I found out she was on the smaller side, also received steroid shots twice for her lung development. I had been going to L&D 3x a week for NST and doplars to make sure the blood flow from the umbilical cord to the baby was adequate. At one of those appointments my blood pressure was elevated and no matter what they did it just wouldn't go down this was Feb 2. I managed to keep her in 5 days more (27 wks 6 days) Feb 7. I was feeling very crappy and on top of it my heart rate was in the mid to high 40's sometimes dropping into the high 30's. They decided to give me magnesium to help with blood pressure. Throughout all of this baby's just fluttering along and doing her own thing. I on the other hand am miserable as HELL and begging for it to be over. I threw up one time and the force of me throwing up made me think my water had broken but nope I had just peed myself!! After a couple hours of misery, finally got my blood pressure down, but my heart rate was still dipping- they decide it's delivery time. 40 mins later being wheeled into the OR where it took anesthesia about 20 mins to get the epidural in, they stuck me like 3-4 times!!! Finally it was in and now we're waiting on it to do its job Another 5-10 mins go by and I'm numb. Time to get the husband. I'm laying there with a heap of thoughts going through my head trying to hold it together cuz lord knows I'm just one pulled thread from unraveling. I feel all this tugging and pressure I just wanted to blurt out how much longer but I was patient. As much I wanted to meet her I wish she could have waited a while longer. At 12:42 pm on Feb 2, 2019 weighing a whopping 1lb 9.4 oz, 12" long, head cir of 9 cm Lejla (Layla) Nia Stewart came into the world literally kicking and screaming!!!!

She is doing very well, she's on room air high nasal flow cannula, she's getting 7 ml of breast milk every 3 hrs tolerating them well. She weighs 1 lb 11 oz now. And I'm just so thankful that she's chugging along!

Is it just my docs?

Idk why, but every time I go to the doctor they just check my blood pressure, weight, urine, baby's heartbeat, and send me on my way!

My doctors don't do anything else either... However I saw someone different last week and she checked
That's all my dr does. I just figured it's because all is going well. I know she
Same here too! Except she also measures my belly. It's such a waste of time to go
