Hey everybody, sorry it has taken me forever to get back to u. It has been a rough journey for me having this baby lol. I've never been in the hospital and this was my first child. After switching me to a better hospital that would be able to handle my problem including my weight in case they needed to operate. They kept an eye on my BP, they had to keep injecting me with some medicine that would bring it right down. They tried doing an arterial line, that didn't work, I was stuck a million times. First I got cervadil, it only worked for 1cm. Then pitocin which made me uncomfortable so we sent for an epidural (which they also wanted me to get early in case any probs occurred). Before I got it tho, they put in I fully bulb - that's some kinda thing that turn in to a balloon, stretching your cervix. If anyone has an option DO NOT GET THAT DONE, only if u already have an epidural because it hurts like hell pushing your cervix. I cried until I got the epi and even then that sucked cuz they had a damn student doing it. After getting it I felt awesome until my right leg came back and the left was absolutely numb. That's a terrible feeling lol. I had to get the epidural done over the next day. Smh. The bulb didn't do crap cuz I was only 3-4cm. I was miserable beyond miserable because it was day 3 and all I could eat was ice chips. So skipping to the end I ended up getting a c-section because I caught an infection and got a fever, the babys heart rate started going nuts so my lil Jeremiah was born April 18th, weighing 7lbs 6oz. He is a cutie and I love him but couldn't get a ton of bonding in yet cuz this recovery SUCKS. im still in pain from my stomach, trying to move and my spinal headaches. My labor journey was emotional and horrible but I got my babes and im going home today =D Hey everybody, sorry it has taken me forever to get back to u.
