My due date was march 25th and I was scheduled to have another c section onthe 18th due to my previous failure to progress with Sydney and bc of how close my pregnancies were.
I was having signs of preeclampsia for a couples of weeks and had gone to the hospital once due to it. The weekend of 8th of march I was not feeling to well and had spent a lot of time in bed. I thought that it was just bc I was nearing the end. Sunday I dragged my self out of bed and to visit with kraig family that was in town. While at my in laws I started to feel nausea set in. We went to the fire station down the stree to have my blood pressure tested and it was high! We went home and I stared to get sick. I had been contracting all weekend but I wasn't too worried about it bc I could still talk through them.
Monday morning I talk to the dr a they want me to come in right away. They test my blood pressure again and it is still high and I am still having nausea. They say I need to go to the hospital and have some test run and that there is a chance that I am gonna have the baby today so to not eat anything bc of my needing a c section.
We get to the hospital and I am annoyed bc I don't like sitting there for hours and then just being sent home. I was hungry for not eating. I thought for sure I would be going home. They run the test and they come back negative except for one we were still waiting for. While waiting my contractions start to get closer together, 3-5 mins apart and were not stoping. I was uncomfortable but still could talk through them and I thought they were braxton hicks. The nurse comes in and informs me that she has been watching me on the monitor and asked how far dilated I was at my last drs appointment. I informed her that I had not been check bc I was having a c section and I had only been having Braxton hicks contractions. She told me that she thought I should be checked. So she checked me and she said your in labor that is why your blood pressure is going up and down and the test for preeclampsia keep coming back negative!!! I was shocked!! I had been comparing my contractions to petocin contractions which are hard and strong so that is why I had no idea I had never felt contractions that started on my own since I was induced with syd.
So they preped me for surgery and at 5:37pm a beautiful little boy entered this world perfect as can be! He was 6lbs 6oz and 18.5 inches long. Small and adorable!
In our room finally!
First week home.
One month old 8 lbs 12 oz 20 inches
Two months old 11lbs 21.75 inches
We all love him so much and Sydney loves being a big sister and is always concerned of where he is!
