I love pregnancy stories and now i finally have one!! so, you don't have to read it but it's so i don't forget lol
Friday may 25th i went in for three different doctor's appointments. at 11 was my ultrasound, 12:30 was an NST (where they monitor the baby for a half an hour), and at 1:15 was my doctor's appointment. zach's dad had to take me and drop me off cause zach had the car. the ultrasound was fine and then i had to wait an eternity for the next appointment. the nst went well and then they had me wait a while longer before my doctor's appointment. for my doctor's appointment the nurse checked my blood pressure and it was really high(it hadn't been high throughout the other part of the pregnancy) and i had high levels of protein. the nurse said i would probably be having my baby that weekend. I had to wait for the doctor to come back to tell me what was going on cause he was at a c-section. so i sat there for another hour or so trying to stay calm for my blood pressure but wondering what the heck was going on. i called zach and told him he'd probably need to pick me up. lol the doctor finally came and said i needed to go straight to the hospital. all the while they are telling me to stay calm..right!! i get to the hospital and they do a 24 hour test to watch the protein levels. the higher it gets the worse it is for me and the baby. they also checked my blood pressure every two hours. whohoo. fun stuff. i had my blood drawn every so often and so i got no sleep the first night. the doctor came in the next day around 4 PM and said i would probably get to go home that day only to come back two minutes later and tell me she thought i was someone else. i was staying there until he was delivered. they did another 12 hour test and my protein levels went up even higher so they decided to induce me. monday at about 10 they gave me a pill to induce me. four hours later i wasn't dilated at all. they did another one and four hours later i was about 1 cent. 4 hours later nothing changed so they put me on an iv with magnesium to help lower my blood pressure and pitocin for the inducement. i was so tired monday night that i got an epiderel so i could sleep. zach about passed out when they did it but it really wasn't that bad. my water broke on its own that night. tuesday morning at about 10am i was 3 cent. so they said they'd wait a while longer but we'd probably need a c-section cause mine and the baby's blood pressure was now to low and he wasn't handling everything well. i took a nap and they woke me up to check again at 12. i was 10 cent. and had him 29 minutes later.they messed things up with my doctor though and he only delivered the placenta. another doctor delivered the baby cause he came so fast. it was an experience alright. i was in the hospital 4 days after and he was in it for 10 days. he was 4lbs. 12 ozs and 18 1/2 inches long. brown hair. blue eyes. he's definitely a fighter though. so...that's my story. now baby's crying and i am needed. cio!
