Kiera's story
I went in to be induced on 1-18-10 at 9 pm. Expected the cerivdil to be put in pretty soon...but once I got on the monitor, Kieras heartbeat was erratic..going from 160's to 120's. Doctors wanted to determine what her baseline was before putting it in. Finally at 1:00 am they put the cervidil in. By 2:30, I was having major contractions and Kieras heartbeat dropped to the 60's..they were concerned..but thought maybe she was on the cord. I rolled over and tried to get the heartbeart up. It came up and 5 minutes later it dropped again. This time they decided that the cervidil had to come out. I was already having alot of painful contractions so they wanted to see what happened in the morning. All night I suffered through really strong contractions. At 6am..I was 3 cm. They were happy that labor had started and the plan was to go on...I labored until 11:15 am...and had only gotten to a little over 4 cm when the heartbeart dropped again. This time my OB said we could not go on like this and he wanted to do a C section before it became an emergency. Thought the cord may be around her neck. I was wheeled into the OR at about 12:00 and at 12:20 pm my princess was born- 6 lbs 4 oz- much smaller than predicted and 20 inches long. She is so perfect and beautiful with such little features..im so in love!
I was TERRIFIED of having a c-section but in the end it had to be done. The cord was wrapped around her body several times so each time I contracted it was cutting off her blood supply. I was so scared something would happen to her if we went on..Also, the pain of the contractions was sooo bad, from using the cervidil, I dont think I could have made it to 10 cm anyway! The
C section was not bad at all. Im sore, but its not terrible. All the pain in the world would be worth it for my little girl...
Pics of my princess are in my album
