She was surprisingly in a transverse and posterior position so they had to make a T incision to get her out. Everyone had believed she was head down but that position would explain why level 20 on pitocin was doing NOTHING for me and my labor didn’t progress at all. Called a code blue because she inhaled some fluid as they finally pulled her out and was having a hard time breathing. I guess the cord was wrapped twice around her neck too.... 😳 I could feel them do chest compressions on her when they finally got her out. Scared the bejeezus out of us!

I wouldnt stop bleeding so I lost a bit of blood and nearly had to receive a transfusion.... going to be in the special post op unit area for our hospital stay because of the blood loss. My husband said he watched an entire jug fill up with my blood as they tried to stop the bleeding. I could tell he was freaked out but he was amazing trying to keep me calm throughout the ordeal.

Pretty sure I am officially traumatized but I feel so so blessed to have our baby girl safe and sound in our arms!
