Yesterday I went to the Dr. cause I wasn't feeling well. Turns out I have a underlining condition that will make it hard for me to have a natural birth vaginally and most likely will have to do a elective C section for the health of baby girl. I'm slightly disappointed but in the end all I want is a healthy baby and if that means I have to have her through the belly then so be it. But finding out about this condition had made me slightly depressed and I've been crying all morning. My husband bless his heart just held me when I cried and although it was out of our hands we are going to have to learn to live with it. I was angry cause until now my pregnancy has been uneventful. That I am possibly cheated out of having to push my own baby out of my body and have her laid on my chest. To not be able to hold her right away. Not to mention that I will probably have to have a major surgery, juggle a newborn, and the house. (husband is going take as much time as he can off from work, lucky the bank he works for is fairly accommodating to fathers of new babies) Plus the medicine they gave me has made me sick and given these awful headaches. Its already hard for me to swallow pills so imagine my dismay when I have to gag a pill or two down three times a day...uggg. I will try to keep positive

 | Comment from pbc910 » Posted Oct. 23, 2015 8:32am I wanted to have a vaginal delivery before finding out I was expecting twins and then I just knew I would have to have a c-section. It's scary and intimidating but I've been doing all I can to research about it and find positive stories from other women. Even though you didn't get the best news, at least you now have time to prepare for either scenario. |
