Well, it happened excatly how I had imagined! At 4am on the 7th, started bleeding and didn't feel the baby move for 5mins(tried drinking water,seated,shaked the bump) woke up hubs,called the hospital and they wanted me to come. WOke the other two kids,put on their jackets with their pyjamas put them in the car and drove to the hospital. It took 15mins, I was just thinking "why the hell isn't he moving"
Went to the hospital, docs tried to check his heartbeat with the doppler,nothing. Then an u/s and for at least 2-3mins they couldn't trace his heartbeat! .....and finally there it was..beating away..it was @ that time I STARTED TO BREATH!!
Till about 5.30 they traced baby's heartbeat and after asking the Doc, sent hubs & kids home so they can sleep a while and go to school. They left. I started getting strong contractions...fortunately not close enough but very strong!!
Around 7.30 I was checked internally and confirmed that I was about to begin labor.Great! So, the OB/GYN told me I would be taken for the section that morning when the surgeon comes. Called hubs, told him whats gonna happen and to leave the kids in school and then come and not to rush himself 'cos in any case he wouldn't be allowed to enter the theater.
Around 8am I was prepared, and taken to the theater, answered all the questions..bla bla bla...and around 8.15 a spinal. At 8.35...my little monkey was out screaming away 6lb and 1oz, 47cm @ 37+2 days (pretty small guy compared to his bros but so glad he was not huge for I had GD ), tears started pouring and I was so patient and thrilled to see this little guy... It's always like the first time....
I was examined and sewn back LOL I wanted to tie the tubes, so I had mentioned it to the doctors earlier before my section. After the baby was out, they were trying to find my tubes for about 15-20mins!!! and finally they said " I'm sorry we are unable to find the tubes, it's a mess in here
, you need to use some sort of contraceptive pills or any other method to avoid pregnancies " Wow!!
It all happened so fast and but Thank God I was so calm. Then I was made to stay about 10mins and taken to my room where outside the theater Hubs was there waiting for me...
days passed so slow 'cos I was alone and DH and kids came to visit me for 3-4hours 'cos it was a mess having the kids around in the hospital! I was really down the 3rd day, baby blues ?? cried so much at night, 'cos baby was with me and had to get up so many times to feed him,change him etc..and you know how uncomfortable the bed there is.. how I wished my Mum was with me...
I felt horrible...missed my hubs and kids so much I wanted to go home that night.
I was ready to go home on the 4th day, but made me stay
reason was that the doctors were 100% sure I was OK. There was another lady who had internal bleeding the next day after a c-section!
Anyway, on the 5th day(Sunday) felt great to be back HOME
Tried to make it short as possibile !!
