Her heart rate crashed and off I went to surgery waving good bye to my husband (who didn't have time to change and be in the room with me). I was knocked out. While waking up I was being told that I had, had a daughter and was taken to a recovery area for 2 hours. Turned out that the cord was next to her ear and my contraction were cutting off her oxygen supply. My husband was able to immediately after the delivery go into the nursery and help bathe our daughter and spend that first 2 hours with her. After being moved to my official room my husband wheeled the baby in and handed her to me. I refused all drugs except the motrin. They still had me on a morphine drip that I had control over and didn't push that button but a handful of times. The pain was bad but I really didn't want my daughter to get it in her system. At this point I found out that I had been cut open a good 10 to 12 inches. <br /><br />Coming home was hard I couldn't get in our bed and slept in a recliner for the first 2 weeks holding our daughter. I ended up back in the ER after those first 2 weeks with a kidney infection and was no longer able to breast feed my daughter while on those drugs. Luckily she went right back to beast feeding after I was done with the meds. After I recovered from that I threw my back out and ended back in the ER. It was a lot harder then I thought it would be to recover. <br />I remember the numbness and random tingling almost pains that would occur when I leaned into something. Mine was on the right side. <br /><br />Being pregnant again with our second has been a little scary knowing what what I through the first time. We are planning on having a v-bac. I feel more prepared this time around. I started seeing an awesome chiropractor 2 years ago and my back is in the best condition it has been in, in years. I have hired a doula who is almost done with her midwife training for extra support and information. I just keep envisioning how I would like this birht to go and hope that is what happens.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10059744648368696728noreply@blogger.com
