My Birth Story..

I gave my momma a hard time right from the start! First the doctors told her she wouldn't have a baby..boy did I prove them wrong! After being breech the entire time the doctor decided a c-section was the way to go. A date was to be chosen on or about June 12..due on the 17th.. Well..showing my strong mind from the start I kicked hard enough to break the bag of water on May 26th..this is my day.. This is how it was for my momma; The morning of the 26th of May I lost what appeared to be mucus(who knows this stuff the first time around?) Felt fine..went to work as planned. No contractions or other signs of so I worked all day( supervisor insisting I take it easy so I did slow down some.) At 3:40 I felt a "pop" and thought that was strange but oh well. Thought I would go to bathroom before going home(hour drive!ugh) and walked about 30 steps before WHOOSH! Yuck.. noone told me it would continue to gush out either. Had my husband paged..twice, once with 911. He was there by 4:30 and off to the hospital. I wanted to go home first but he wouldn't let me go that far. Got to the hospital at 5:10 and checked in. Got undressed(still gushing!) and they ask if my water is grossly ruptured..yup! Hooked up to monitors and such I was checked but knew a c-section was going to happen. Things are a blur from there..people running and yelling and doctor being called. The cord was prolapsed.. the nurse could not take her hand out because the baby could push the cord out and suffocate. I cannot roll at this point so no epidural.they have to give me general anestesia. At 6:07 our daughter was born weighing 6lbs11ozs and 19 inches long. I woke up later in a quiet room..baby off to NICU scoring only 5 and 7 on APGAR tests. I get wheeled by her on the way to my room and the next day when I could finally hold her was the name Abigail Rose give to her. The rest of our story contines to be written.....
