I think this is it ladies..... I am on my way to the hospital and scared out of my mind
I just had my 34th week check up and my doctor wanted me to keep this baby in until at least 37 weeks, but I don't think its gonna happen. I am not even prepared for my sons arrival and nothing is set up. My kids are preparing and cleaning for me and just as nervous! I just can't believe I am sitting here writing ...LOL On my way to the hospital to see if what is coming out of me is water because all I feel is tricking and lots of preasure. Pray for me ladies I am so nervous ....I SITLL FEEL THIS IS WAY TO EARLY!!!!

Whoa, what a horrible ordeal!
Actually, Christopher sounds BIG to me! LOL! My first baby came 2 weeks early, and he was only 5 lbs 4 oz... itty bitty! I'm so sorry to hear that this delivery was awful for you. I wonder why you reacted so badly to the spinal block and the anaesthesia? Was this your first C-section?
I remember being SO SCARED of getting that long needle in my back for the spinal before my C-section... and then when it happened, it didn't even feel it go in. Then they told me when the baby came out I would feel some "pressure", but I didn't feel anything at all. I had no idea they had yanked him out until I heard him screaming! I did get really sick afterwards from the anaethesia though... I threw up non-stop all day long until they had to give me so much anti-nausea medication that I was heavily sedated and couldn't even see straight.
Well, the good news is you have your little man, and though it's going to take time to recover from the surgery, it sounds like he is safe and doing well! Congrats on the baby and good luck to you !!!

Hi Delma, I too am glad to hear from you, I was getting a bit worried. I am so sorry you went through such a challanging time to bring Christopher into the world, but I am glad that he is healthy and both of you are doing well. All the best to you, Christopher and your family!!
I am so sorry about the pain you had to go through. I wish you enjoyed the experience. Your baby is doing well and I am so relieved. I hope he is getting bigger every day.
sometimes you can't figure out why a baby is premature. i am so so sorry that you went through such a traumatic birth. it is wonderful that your baby is here and healthy and that you are doing better, but sometimes it is really hard to get through that kind of birth grief (yes, i've been there). it may be postpartum blues, but it may also be PTSD or something like that. you went through alot! i went through a horrible birth and if i think about it now (nearly 6 years later) i'll still cry, so give yourself a break during these first few weeks. as for your milk, i know with my traumatic c/s my milk never came down at all. i wasn't able to nurse, and i didn't know that sometimes milk won't come in especially if there has been alot of blood loss. there is a medication to help your milk come in, i wish i had know about it then, but ask your dr. and maybe that can give your supply a boost. your body has been through so much and it is in survival mode, healing, not worrying about the milk now, so you may have to help it along. i am sorry to hear you are separated from your baby, but please use this time to rest and heal so you will be ready when he comes home.
I am so glad that it all worked out in the end.. after your dd didn´t post again I was worried about you.. can´t wait to see your son!
I just got home today and feeling VERY,VERY SORE. My whole ordeal turned into a c-section and a painful one. I ended up having some HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE BACK PAIN.....AND I THINK I FREAKED EVERYONE OUT WHEN I STARTED SCREAMING MY LUNGS OUT!!! THE DOCTOR AND NURSES THINK THE BABY MAY HAVE TOUCHED A NERVE JUST RIGHT. I ended up going in on saturday and had my water tested to make sure I broke and sure enough I did. The doctor had me keep the baby in so that he would continue to mature since my water leaked very slowly. Monday came along and they finally went ahead and set me up for a c-secion and they ended up TRYING to a do a spinal and discovered it just wasn't going to work for me since everytime they touched a certain area my back wanted to have these crazy spasms.......LIKE I SAID IT WAS ALL TOO HORRIBLE!!!! So I went under anestesia and I ended up panicing so bad that I couldn't even breath...I started crying and jerking like I was closterphobic ( not sure if spelled right??) BF could not even go in with me because I was given gas, and so he missed his first birth. I was just plain scared to death!!! Finally as it ended I woke up to nurses pushing down on my stomach and OH MY LORD DID THAT EVER HURT.....I SCREAMED AND YELLED SOME MORE AND THEY HELD ME DOWN AND DID WHAT THEY HAD TO DO. I just could not take that kind of pain. I was told that I lost alot of blood and the doc had said I was already under for a while so he had to hurry and ran into complications with getting the baby out because of the position he was in. My doctor had to make a second cut and BOY did that make my c-section ten times worse. I actually made it through delivery and was still hurting and crying ( like i was tortured or something)! I stayed a total of 6 day at the hospital and my little angel is still there and will remain there until his jaundice gets better. He isn't the biggest eater yet so the nurses were helping me with that also. He only weighed 6 pds 4oz 19in and for me I thought that was so tiny compared to my other kids. He doesn't cry alot he just loves being cuddled and held. Most of my day I spent crying over how this all turned out and I hope to god that he comes home soon and puts on his baby fat. I am not sure if I am going through some post partum blues or what.....all I do is cry for nothing!!! To top it off I am not even producing any milk for him so that has got me going too!!! For now I know he is healthy just needs a little help on the feeding, but what I can't get over is why he came so early?? They checked to see if maybe I had some type of infection and all looked good NO INFECTION......I wonder if I just over did it or something??
Well ladies I really need to lay down and take one of my STRONG PAIN PILLS. I will post a picture tomorrow in the morning before I go off to visit my beautiful miricle baby Christopher.
BIG HUGS TO ALL THAT THOUGHT OF ME!!!!
YOU ARE ALL THE BEST!!!!

OMG Delma, you can't be ready, we are suppose to go together......due at the same time remember....I am praying for you girl....I know the longer he bakes the better, but if he must come now he has a great chance.....I am not sure if they can stop the leak, but I know that you continue to make amniotic fluid.....I pray all goes well
i hope you are just peeing! lol all will be ok, babies born this early generally are fine. addison was born 34w6d and sheilas was born about that time too, prayers to you tonight!
OMG! It is a little early but to ease your mind a little my third child was born at 34 weeks and had very little issues. She was concidered a preemy only because she was 6 weeks and had to be taught to suck from a bottle. She didn't have that reflex at birth. She was intubated but for only a short period of time and then was breathing on her own. She stayed in the NICU for 12 days and today she is 18 and perfectly fine.
Hopefully, if you are trickling amniotic fluid, they can stop it. I will keep you in my thoughts and check back often to see if there has been any changes. Hope all goes well!
