So my pregnancy was going so smooth until i hit the 38 wk mark. I never had morning sickness the worst thing i got was heartburn which prilosec otc took care of and not being able to sleep which a body pillow cured. So i would count my kicks when i would wake up because as soon as i would change position she would move. Well on sept 28th i only got 5 movements so i thought let me get up eat something get moving and maybe she will move. Well she didnt i would get a lil kick here n there but nothing like my active girl normally was. So i called my doc he told me to go to the ER to b monitored. They put me on a monitor and told me her strip wasnt good but it wasnt bad so they wanted to do a biophysical feedback ultrasound. So of course I'm starting to panic at this point really bad and the nurse keeps telling me that could make it worse so i tried to relax. Also since i thought they were just gonna monitor me n send me home with no problems i told oh to stay at home n take care of his daughter when i told my mom at was at the hospital she didn't care why she came immediately thank god she did. We went for the ultrasound which is suppose to b 30 mins and makes sure they r moving right and their heartbeat is good well about 15 mins in she still hadnt moved even with the tech jabbing her and shaking her like crazy then i see this look of terror come over the techs face and she yells for the other tech to call triage back to come get me. My babys heart rate had dropped down to 45!!! I had to get my mom to call oh because i couldn't even speak i was freaking out so bad. Well he showed up just in time to me being rolled out of the room for an emcs. I was so scared i was shaking so hard i couldn't control it. They even gave me something for it and it still didnt stop. It was all happening so fast. Oh got all gowned up while they were prepping me. They gave me a spinal which numbed me from my breast down i could feel touch n pressure but no pain and couldn't move. They strapped me down on this table with my arms spread out told oh that it felt like a jesus table haha they had her out with in 10 mins when she first came out she didnt cry so i lost it at that point i was thinking the worst things and was losing my mind. Then i heard her scream best sound i have ever heard in my life. The doc told me her cord was not only wrapped around her neck and body but there was also a huge knot. The nurse told me just a few wks ago a lady had lost her baby due to a knot and not counting kicks. She told me i saved my babys life if i hadnt counted i wouldn't b holding a live baby. I'm so grateful for counting and paying attention to my lil ones movements. Counting saved her. I spent 4 days in the hospital I'm successfully bfing and have lost all my baby weight i couldnt b a happier mama. If u r prego or know anyone who is COUNT THE BABY'S KICKS!!!!
