if you want the gory details see below, and if you see these abbreviations this is what it means
cntrx - contractions
DH - dear hubby or Mike (duh)
Friday September 22, 2006 we woke early, made sure everything was ready from my inlaws to care for our dogs, and left for the hospital for my induction.
We arrived at 7:30, after arguing with the registration lady about what my last name was I was given my wrist band and sent upstairs to have a baby!
About 9am my doctor came in, checked me, broke my bag of water (no fluid came out) inserted the scalp monitor and pressure sensor. This was very painful, I started doubting my ability to go natural, if I was in tears over this, how would I manage through contractions and pushing. Then the pitocin was started. I started to contract, but the pressure sensor wasn't working and my belly wasn't going soft in between cntx.
The doctor pulled out the pressure sensor and tried again, I almost broke Mike's fingers this time, again the pressure sensor wasn't working, and they turned the pitocin off. I was at 5 cm.
About 10 min later the doctor came back a 3rd time to insert the pressure monitor, she said it went in better this time, my belly was still not softening, I was in having 15 min long painful cntrx. I had to pee, so the nurse helped me get situated in the bathroom. When I came back, I sat in the rocker and DH rubbed my back.
The baby's pressure dropped, from 139 to 60, before I could blink 4 nurses were in the room, flipping me all over the place, they called my doc out of the OR, the hearbeat recovered, but not very quickly in the next hear beat I was wearing an O2 mask, DH was being handed scrubs and I was being wheeled to the OR for an emergency C-section. The ansthesiologist was having my sign consent forms, the nurse yelled out the heart rate is dropping again, my doctor yelled from the hallway, we have to do general anesthesia.
My mask was changed, I started to cry, Dh wasn;t going to be there, I practically wasn't going to be there, the nurses were trying to get me to calm down, my belly was washed with betadine and then I woke up.
Mike was there to make sure I was ok, I asked 3 times what was going on, I couldn;t remember, I found out it was a boy, and he was healthy and doing fantastic, about 20 min later they brought him to see me, he was beautiful, looked like a little doll.
When I was coherent, I found out there was no amniotic fluid, the cord was wrapped around his neck and he passed a small amount of meconium.
through all that his apgars were 9/9!
I feel like I missed the birth of son, but DH keeps telling me I have the most unique birth story - or lack there of.
The important thing is he is here and I am here, what I am still wondering is where did the amniotic fluid go? I never noticed any discharge, never had a contraction on my own.
I think it was a small miracle that was performed one week ago today.
