Our Story: Isabella Julia
Tuesday the 3rd I had a Dr. appt and he was still really worried about how big I was getting but I had not dilated so he wanted me to go in on Friday morning the 6th to the hospital for an OCT Test. Basically what this test is they were planning on giving me just a little pitocin to give me contractions so they can monitor the baby's heart beat to see how she handles them. It is based on a pass or fail - Passing means she would be able to handle a natural labor and failing meaning she would have to be taken out c-section.
So when I got to the hospital and was getting prepped for the IV the heart rate monitor and the contraction monitor was showing that my contractions were coming every 4 minutes. I was really surprised when the nurse came back in and said well we are calling the Dr. in because they would not be giving me the test because I all ready was in full labour. I was surprised to hear this and before I new it the Dr. was in checking me and I had all ready dialated to 2cm and thinned out quite a bit. My water bag was broken during that time and 2 hours later (with not enough pain meds :') in me) I found my self pushing and our baby girl was born into this world. 8.3 lbs and 20 inches long with a head full of hair. AMAZING !!!!!!
All in all it was a great and fast delivery. A little unexpected but everything happened so fast.
Unfortunately our blood types clashed and she was born coons positive and when they re-leased me today she still had to re-main in the hospital under the Billy Lights.
It was extremely difficult and sad having to leave her there but we know it is for the best and are saying our prayers that in the morning her billy rueben count is down and we can bring her home.
