Life will never be the same!
Well, We have a daughter WOW!
The C-section did NOT go as planned. It is interesting what you get used to. I had 2 previous C-sections so I thought I knew what to expect....NOT. I had spinals with both TJ and Ben without problems. With Ben, they tried for 45 minutes to do an epidural (they did a epidural for pain management) but were able to do the spinal with no problem. Not so this time.
They tried for 20 minutes to "find the spot" but were unable to. I begged and pleaded with them to keep trying but he didnt want to keep "fishing" in my back.
I began to have a panic attack when I realized that neither Charlie nor I would be able to see our daughter born.
Having a C-section, you lose part of the birth process anyway. However, you still get to hear the first cry and the excitement of them saying "It's a girl!" I loved being able to talk to Charlie while they "worked" on me.....and seeing his face when he sees his children for the first time. We lost that this time. I wasn't able to see her till 5 o'clock (she was born at 1:38)
I woke up from the surgery in the WORST pain I have EVER experienced in my entire life...ittook over an hour for the pain to get under control.
However.....ALL that is over, and we have a healthy baby girl.
