I had an ER C-Section on July 15th...our baby boy is home!

Hello everyone!

I went into labor 10 days early, well...actually 11.

I noticed cramps around 2am...just thought they were cramps, nothing too bad...so I went back to bed...the next morning, I still had cramps, but nothing too bad...I was actually on this site posting pics of the updated master bath!

Well..around 2pm, I knew they were contractions, and they were 3 min. apart (and I was bleeding..yet my MD still didn't think I needed to go to the hospital..but that's another story).

So, I went to the hospital, and told my MD we were going, he said he'd was there.

Well...yes, he was in the hospital, but didn't see me for two hours....when I arrived, I was already 3-4 centimeters dilated, and in excrutiating pain (like I said, about 3 min. apart). Stony Brook couldn't give me any pain relief, the epidural, until my MD saw me...so I had to wait and wait and wait...it was horrible.

I asked if they could page him to just give an ok to give me the epi, since I was so painful and dilating...NOPE

So...eventually he saw me, and I got the epi...that was fantastic! NEver felt anything else, just pressure.

Well...soon after the epi, they notice that the baby's heartrate dropped drastically with each contraction. No more than 5 min. later, the MD said he had to perform an ER C section (after we tried several positions hoping to keep the baby's heart rate up...but didn't work).

at 10:52, Christopher James Rose was born!
THe rest of my experience at Stony Brook was HORRENDOUS!!!

In recovery, I was given NO PAIN MEDS for another 2 hours (since I'm allergic to morphine, the anesthesiologist wanted to give me some something in a PCA pump...well, the nurses couldn't figure out how to start the pump for 2 hours...so meanwhile I'm contracting because I'm still on potossin to stop the bleeding...and I have no pain relief...it was horrible!!!!!)

When the PCA was given to me, the anesthesiologist injected some med (my husband knows which one), and suddenly I couldn't breath and I couldn't see. It was short, but scary.

THen I had some horrible nurses...when I asked how to diaper the baby, she looked at me and my husband and said, "It's not rocket science".

I'm just glad to be home!!!
