Well here's my update, I apologize for keeping you all waiting (: it is 3:11AM.
I was in labor for 14hours, with no dilation change what so ever, completely thinned out, just no progress otherwise. My doctor came in and started talking to us about a c section. I was devastated, I started to cry and my boyfriend and our wonderful nurse was here to comfort me. It just seemed so unreal.. But a few minutes before I told my mom I felt it would come to a c section to be honest with myself. After he told us this is what we were going to do, due to no progress and him feeling that I would continue to see none as far as dilation, they prepared me for c section, gave me more numbing medication and moved me to a different floor. I was trying my hardest to come to terms and accept that this is what it is and I have no choice.
They got me in there, started the procedure and brought my baby girl into the world. Although nothing with my pregnancy as far as delivery has gone has been in my favore, hearing the doctor say "there's the babies head" and seeing the amazement on my loves face just made it all okay. I started to cry at this time and continued to do so as they announced the baby was in fact a girl, and I got to see her and hold my loves hand and I just cried.
They brought me into the room at 5:10 prepared everything around me and myself and started I would say what felt like ten minutes later and she was brought into the world at 5:45pm. After I started to feel them putting my placenta back in and told them I am unsure if it is pain or just pressure but it hurt! And I was put to sleep before I even knew it! I came to about four-five times, and fell back asleep shortly after saying some things. One of those things being "well, atleast my vagina is the same size, and I didn't poo myself!" -out right after. Lmao. After she was born she and her daddy were brought back to our room for kangaroo care -automatic skin to skin. And I was brought into a room to be cared for, for about a half hour to forty five minutes. And then brought back to our room for kangaroo care myself.
I saw my love, my loveS and started to cry and cry and cry. A nurse says to me "she's been trying to suck on daddies nipples since we brought her in lol" which gave us a good laugh. Once everyone cleared, and I was still crying my love shared the moment with me and we cried together as we welcomed our baby into our lives together in privacy since she was born.
Beautiful. There is nothing in this world like it. Not anything. And you know what? Everyone was right. All my worries, every single one, every anxiety every fear, gone. Disappeared as soon as I heard her first cry as I bawled my eyes out in pure bliss. Everyone keep your heads up. No matter what it comes to. I've never experienced something more beautiful, even if it wasn't "my plan" embrace every moment and just remember what you're worried about now truly will not matter once you see or hear your baby.
Also, I learned about an hour or so after being in the room with my family<3 and his mother and our very special friend, that the embilical cord was partially wrapped around her neck. As devastated as I was about having to have a c section, and worried he was doing it for his convienence, God was at play the whole time. No one knew that she was at risk of this, had things continued (as I believe things would've been different and God would've been looking over us) and the cord was partially wrapped around her neck it would have been absolutely dangerous and we would have a been devastated. God was with me, with us all and this was the reason it came to a c section and God showed himself in a very powerful way to us all earlier today. Believe he will guide you and you will be safe. I completely handed myself to him during labor before any of this. I did Wednesday because I couldn't get through it by myself and I needed his help to lift my burdens and worries. True blessing.
Btw, she is 8lbs 8oz 20inches. And she has a 14inch head lol. So that is also a good reason for my c section as well as no one knew that either. She is a very quiet and alert baby. And she is absolutely gorgeous. And even though I am still not sure what I am doing, I have no fears at this moment. I am in pure bliss with my family. And we have not seemed to have any problems with her latching or breastfeeding, it is painful though already lol. Can't wait until I actually start to produce enough to satisfy her.
Also, make sure you bring baby clippers with you in your babies bag. Her nails were long and I was very thankful I had them. Thank you guys (: will be back in a few days, maybe tomorrow. But I will definitely give updates. Thank you all so much.
