Junebaby2 · May 2012

After all the stuff I went through baby Blake was born on 5/4 he was 6 weeks early he was 4lbs 15oz 18in.

I have been in and out of the hospital and if I wasn't at the hospital I was at doctors. Monday April 30th I had a doctors and she said she didn't think I was going to make it another 2 weeks. That day I was so tired and sick. I packed a bag for my first son and told dh to take a shower because I felt I was just going to have him. Well we went to bed at 11pm and I didn't wake up until 6am to thinking I went pee because my underwear was wet. I went into the bathroom and I had a full bladder I yelled to dh who didn't get up at that time. I was sitting there and then I just started pouring I didn't know if I was going again or if it was my water so I kept yelling for dh. He finally got up came in and I told him to look and see where the fluid was coming from. He could tell why I have no clue lol but he said it was clear.

I stood up and it was still pouring out so I told him to call his dad to pick up our son. We finally got to the hospital at 6:40am and was in a room my 7am. The nurse put me in the l&d room even though she didn't think it was my water. The on call doctor finally makes it into my room they check and it was my water. She tells me I will be staying until Friday and if I don't go into labor before thats when they will induce me. I had contractions from Tuesday to Friday but no real changes in my cervix. They had me on all kinds of meds so I didn't get a infection.They also checked my fluid on Thursday and I only had a very small amount of fluid. Friday at 2am they started the pitocin I slept on and off until 7am when the nurse came in and asked why I didn't have a epi yet I said I wanted to wait she asked why and I didn't know so she call him in to do it. I was so happy after I had it and this one really worked. 9am my doctor comes in and checks me no change. She comes back at 12:40 and told me I was only 3cm and maybe 75% she said by then I should have made a big change and they already had to stick tubing in so they can fill me with water because Blakes heart rate would drop she said its because he had no fluid.I had to sign all the paper work for a c-section.

She came back 30mins later right after I told the nurse I would have him in the bed the nurse said no I'm only 3cm. Well my doctor walks in I said I think I'm making change because I could feel it. She goes to check me yells for me to close my legs and don't move, laugh or push she can see his head. They rush to get the room set up and she said she wanted to wait for the neonatologist which didn't happen because I couldn't hold him in for 45mins. 3 pushes and he was out.He didn't need any help breathing but he is in the nicu because hes early. We are just playing it day by day.
