welly1234.....baby & a pulminary embolism!!!!!
I went in on st. patty's day to be induced...8am some sort of pill was inserted into my cervix...nothing happening. Spend night in hospital, 8am tuesday 3-18 2nd pill inserted.... contractionns 2 minutes apart for entire day...7pm still only 2 centermeters!! I say..."bring on the pitocin!!!" Quickly things start moving along...12am I'm 4 centermeters. At 4am while I'm bouncing on the big ball my water breaks. 2 contractions later I start pushing....7 pushes later...Amalia Joyce is born!! 7.9lbs and 19 inches long!! The birth was very peaceful, I used my hypnobirthing and listened to music and had 4 women rubbing me all over. I did have a really bad pain in my shoulder that went through my back and hurt like hell when I took in deep breaths. Well I got home and things were going pretty smooth untill tuesday and the pain in my back/shoulder came back...I spent that night sleeping in a chair because I couldn't breath well. Woke up wednesday morning and took 2 steps and almost fell over the pain was sooooo bad and I couldn't breath!! Went to the hospital and found out I had a blood clot in my lung!!! Not a good thing since 75% of people with clots in the lung die in the first hour ofter the clot strikes!! I walked around for 8 days!!! I'm very lucky to be here. I spent 7 day's in the hospital and will be on bloodthinners for the rest of my life but it's okay. God was looking out for me , I now have 4 beautiful kid's and they need me! Thanks ladies for all support over the last few months, I probably wont be around much. But may check in here and there. Good luck to everyone!! Manuela
