I never thought I’d have to include a trigger warning in any of my posts especially being a ttm I guess you get a false sense of security. Last Tuesday I had my anatomy scan and everything looked great Thursday I had my regular ob appt and we listened to his hr which was great and scheduled my c section.
On Thursday I had noticed some thick white dc but chalked it up to one of the many perks of being pregnant. Friday morning I woke up and had to change as I felt like I had peed myself, but still didn’t think too much of it. Later that morning as my husband and I both had the day off we were in Target and I went to the rest room and felt as if I had lost some of my mucus plug. I called my ob and he instructed me to go up to L&D. They confirmed it was amniotic fluid and that my bag had ruptured and they sent me home on bed rest with instructions to follow up with MFM on Monday morning. Shortly after getting home I lost the rest of my plug and spiked a fever. We went back into L&D they did an ultrasound that showed I had barely any fluid. They pretty much insisted on an induction as my blood count was rising. At the last minute I refused the pitocin as I could still feel my LO moving around and he had a strong heart rate. I just couldn’t deliver him knowing that they would do nothing to help him since I was only 19w2d. We decided we’d redraw my blood in the morning and go from there. By morning my blood count had gone up and his heartbeat had stopped. I was sent into Boston via ambulance to be at a more equipped hospital to decide what to do next. They assured me that even though I’ve had two previous sections an induction would be safe. I started the induction process and with in an hour the contractions were so hard and painful with maybe 20 seconds in between that I asked for an epidural 40 minutes later my beautiful baby boy looking equally like his brother and sister was born sleeping. This is the absolute hardest thing I have ever had to deal with and I truly never understood what this was like until it happened to me.
I want to thank you ladies for being such a great group to be apart of. I never felt intimidated to join in to any of the discussions even if all I did most of the time was read them. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers as this has brought into prospective what a truly delicate time these 9 months are. Wishing you all a happy & healthy pregnancy.
