So I now have a baby girl named Lily 7lb 12oz, 20 inch long, born Feb 26 at 3:20 PM.
Water breaks Sunday at 11:55. We go to hospital at 2:30am. Contractions get bad about 2pm. The give her an epidural. Babies heart rate drops, they get it going by shoving their hand up and tickling babies head. 1hr later babies heart rate goes into the low 60s, should be 120-150. The can't get it to stay up. Rush in for emergency C-Section.
I get scrubbed up, go in sit on the stool beside her, she's crying, she's scared. They start cutting, she says it feel wrong (she's numb from the shoulders down from the epidural). They cut some more...the epidural didn't freeze her inside. She's screaming (blood curtling scream) in pain, then it gets even worse, she's sobbing now (too much pain to scream as they cut and dig through her abdomen). By the time the anesthesioligist gives her more drugs it's been 5 minutes and the baby is out, they're starting to put her back together.
Baby is fine, has a slice on her cheek from the scalpel and a cut in her head. They say they think the babies cord was being crushed...we find out later from a student nurse they gave her too much epidural (shoulders down should have been waist down) and that's what caused the heart problems. They then forget to give her a morphine shot 3 times, and then have to verify she's supposed to get it after being told in front of us. So no pain drugs for 4hrs...today they stop giving her pain medication at 8am without telling her (she's taking other pills so doesn't know they've stopped). 7pm the pain starts hard. Their excuse "you didn't ask for more".
Yeah, nothing like watching your SO get carved up with no pain medication while they try to save your baby. Seriously what do you do? It was bad...
