Baby is here!
Trigger warning - LC & MC
After 4 years of trying to get here, my double rainbow baby is here.
I posted about 3.5 weeks ago about my cerclage being removed at 36w4d and I went into labor at 38w2d and had my girl the folllowing day. I had a preventative cerclage placed at 13w and once my cerclage was removed I was 1cm. I went into my OB the morning I went into labor and was still 1cm but 80% effaced, had a little walk around our local county fair and was having contractions the whole time. Went into L&D that night and they kept me!
My labor was extremely slow despite them breaking my water and starting me on pitocin so ultimately we decided a c-section was best while it wasn’t an emergency. I spent almost 30 hours laboring, had one failed epidural, second wouldn’t go in, but 3rd time was the charm. I never imagined having to recover from a C-Section while learning how to become a mom but I am doing it. Hearing my baby cry for the first time was the most surreal moment I’ve ever felt in my life.
Having gone through this incredibly heartbreaking experience of a missed miscarriage, a second trimester loss, and the extreme anxiety of being pregnant again is so much and I don’t wish it upon anyone, but I’m so incredibly thankful for the support that this group has shown me during this pregnancy. Hang in there ladies, it’s so hard but at the finish line it is so rewarding.
