my birth story.

Friday (35.5) I noticed through the day a very sudden change in movement. This baby is very active and by sat. Morning (yesterday) I began to feel concerned. I have read many things that say that movement can slow towards the end but I had a weird feeling and wanted to just be safe and call. I also had some minor contractions bit again, nothing crazy. So being its a weekend I get sent to labor and delivery for monitoring and they notice the baby isn't moving too much. But then he perked up. Went for an ultrasound and when I came back the doctor told me I passed the 8point test and should be going home shortly. So I ccqllee my mom and my fiancé (who was over 2,hours away ) that everything was fine, to not worry, and they just wanted to moniter me for a bit longer. So I'm surfing around on the bump and all of a sudden 4,nurses and a doctor came running into my room throwing an oxygen mask and throwing papers at me asking me to sign for a c-section! The baby's heart rate dropped and baby was in distress. I got on the phone and called mom who was about 20 min away and poor fiance who obviously was still so far 
. Within 15 min I'm in the OR , all alone, thank god I had a kick ass nurse who was seriously my angel. She held me while I got the shot in my spine. This was it. I was going to have this baby. Me myself and him. As I'm laying there , trying to be strong , feeling tons of pressure I hear my mommy's voice! She sat right up by my head and Kissee me and held my hand we were both in tears. 4 seconds later at 5:29,I heard the most beautiful cry I have ever heard. I immediately broke down. I didn't get to see him up close, but they put him on a table near me and all I saw was how perfect and pink and good he looked. 5 lbs. 11 oz. (Sonogram hours before said 5.09! SSo close) they unfortunetly only brought him to me for a few pics and kisses. And he was taken to nicu. His lungs are just premature and need TLC. Dan got to me about 10 min after i was brought to recovery. He got to go in and see him. Baby is already making huge progress. Its so sad to see him in all those wires. But I know he is in great hands. I cannot express the pain I felt physically after the numbness went away. Terrible. I got tonawe him twice last nite. I even got to pump and got a tiny bit of colostrum for him! But boy, was It horrible being seperated. I slept maybe 40 min. I finally got to thwbpoint where I could move into a wheelchair this morning and got to see him again. His breathing looked so much better and steady. I am hanging in there . anyone who WISHES for a c section
...don't. Worst pain I have ever been in in my life. So they basically told me if I didn't come In when I did, things would have possibly ended terribly. Crazy story, nothing what I had in mind, but seeing my little fighter, makes everything 100% okay. Ladies please listen to your instincts. CALL YOUR DOCTOR. Anyway, every hour that goes by he is getting stronger. I love him. So. Friggin. Much. As soon as I can promise I will get a picture on here. It won't load from my phone I am always on computer so I know and feel your pain that the phone doesn't work to load pics . love you all!!! Send prayers to Benjamin Leo Gold.

Re: my birth story.
Can't wait to see pictures!
Congrats!
Sounds like the experience was very scary but I'm so glad your mom made it in time and your baby boy is okay. Thank God you listened to your body and got there in time! Wishing you the best (and now hoping beyond hope that I don't have to have a csection!)
Congratulations!!!!!!
