The Ob pushed me into getting an ultrasound at 41 weeks rather than seeing me twice a week. her husband did the u/s and even the nurses said he was lieing to me about what he found on the nst and the us. he said babe was in distress. she had regular dcells he said the placenta was calcified it wasnt he said my water was low... my placenta was in frount and the baby did her best to smush up against it no way he could see all the fluid in there...
i knew it was a possibility going in that that would happen but the week prior when booking the said u/s i refused and she went on to tell me the risks of the baby dieing (just being post dates) dispite me telling her I knew then already and for her to save it. she continued and she and her receptionist would not let me leave until i agreed for them to book it...
i didn't go. went in the next day after they phoned me and ended up stressing me out. had hubs come home and was induced that day.
they kept changing the plan and eventually got me hooked up to oxyticin to test my response (i explicitly said no as i had severe ppd and i know that increases the risks of getting it again) they tried to get me to continue as i went form completely closed and no thinning to thinned and 3 cm in an hour, i only said yes to the gel to ripen the cervix not a full induction in the first place, i wasn't clear enough and i told them i over respond as it was and they still tried to give the largest dose to me. they gave me the half dose and still needed up with severe front and back labor one on top of the other.
strapped to the bed every hour for a half hour, then retreating to the bathroom. i was pushing her out and the nurse came in and realized i was "suggested" i go to the bed and i did. I was only in labor a total of 5 hours start to finish.
babe got "stuck" during the first push on the bed and they twisted her neck.
she wasn't out 3 sec and i was starring at babe when they clamped her cord. despite me saying not to. she had issues breathing, took her from me wouldn't let me nurse, kept asking me questions about her care and mine, and after the 5th time saying no to everything they went to my husband.
she wasn't responding so they took her to the nicu. this was my fear why i didn't want to be induced as i knew the risks and what happened to my first (preemie due to pre e)
they wouldn't let me nurse her for over 12 hours or even hold her and she continued to not respond until i was allowed to hold and nurse her.
she is also allergic to dust and they were renovating in the hospital. i could not breath the entire time i was there.
she ended up jumpy from her neck twist, low blood volume and thick blood from the vitamin k shot they pushed me into. (i was supplementing and eating lots of vit k)
she was traumatized and now never wants to be out of my sight even 16 months later. she wouldn't let us touch her nose or her feet for over 6 months. and she was only in the nicu 3 days.
and she was strong and healthy they say... there was no need for her to be in there had they listened to me. or respected me at all.
birth also brings back old trauma and i become like a child again and have trouble sticking up for myself. plus being in baby hormone zone. not a good mix.
