TW: Child birth, Complicated, I need to rANT
Just a small rant no one will see and if y’all do I’m so sorry I’ve been inactive but Y’ALL I— I did a whole give birth four days ago, and my doctor had everyone pissed. Nurses, my mother— kept pushing pitocin to ramp up my contractions which were fine on their own despite my daughters heart rate severely dropping with EVERY ONE and long story short her umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck so tight it was cUTTING OFF HER ABILITY TO BREATHE. The nurses— who are literally in charge of the pitocin drip, were FURIOUS. They kept turning it off just for her to come turn it back on.
Get to the even messier part, my smol human was not about it. She did NOT want into this world. So my doctor had to do an episiotomy and use the scalpel, then use a vacuum to pull her head out, but that didn’t work so forceps came into the chat. My doctor knew she had fucked up to say the least— my mother said she could see the panic on her face.
It was almost to the point of an emergency C-Section, my mom was panicking, the nurses expected it to end badly— they had the NICU team in the room, a separate pediatrics team, an extra nurse and an OR ready for me just in case.
My doctor literally put in her notes that I stated I didn’t want a C Section unless it was absolutely necessary— that never left my mouth. Anyway, by some miracle my 6 pound 7 ounce human came into this world okay and I didn’t do an unalive. My husband was panicking because it was 31 and a half hours of labor and the US Navy likes to yeet their wifi connections at the most inconvenient times (he’s on deployment).
Anyway it’s been four days now and I would just like to say I’ve done my round, it was not fun, no more kids for me. Also, the smol falls asleep to Criminal Minds only and I think it’s because I rebinged it while I was pregnant. Oops.
