Although it is the eve of my youngest's birth I will blog about my 1st,my comforter,my miracle child. The ex had put me through hell and I took him back. I was young late teens almost 20 and I wanted to believe love would conquer all( Boy was I deluded). He had sent me through so much drama and pain but for the sake of my unborn I said fuck it and forgave him. We started making plans to move in together and then a month later we did. I was just making 7months in my pregnancy(Maybe I will blog the pre-quel soon. This is like StarWars I'm telling it backwards)
My doctor had taken a sono when I was 6months and said my placenta looked a little low to come back and the date was pretty far off. So 2 nights after we moved in we were intimate. I sat up on the bed in pain and my ex was upset b/c I would not confide in him my pain and then something went splat....My ex screamed "Oh shit" and jumped off the bed. It was covered in blood and the splat was part of my placenta on the floor. We were not even fully moved in yet and since this was night our new bedroom had no main light and needed the lamps he had already purchased but not put in the room. He jumped up and half way put on his shirt rapping the other side around his neck. With one boot on and the other in hand he ran downstairs to a payphone outside in the rain. I was upstairs crying and praying for the life of my unborn child.
It was too soon...could he or she survive? I'd fallen in love with someone who was still very much apart of me and not in actual existence yet. And I had fought so many and for so much to make this child's life everything that I thought it should have. The police and fire department reached 1st had me lay on the bed and shined flashlights up my hole( No lights in the bedroom where I was remember), and realizing I had a ruptured Placenta.
They carried my fat Pregnant butt down 3 flights of steps strapped to a board. The ambulance had come and taken me to the nearest hospital and since my nice private insurance covered my private doctor they took me to the public hospital right around the corner believe it or not. So anyway fastforward to the doctor examining me and telling me the placenta ruptured you need emergency surgery b/c you have something called Placenta previa( Low lying placenta that can partially or wholly in my case, completely covering my cervix) Yes no exit for the baby 1or both of us would be maget food. So they allowed me to be up for it but they did a c-section.
He was strong at 4lbs8oz. By the2nd day he was breathing on his own( yes oxygen was administered) That was a scary time though, he was as small as a football with wires attached at every angle. It wasn't until 2 weeks after I came home that little O joined me. He had no handicaps, he had his vision,wits, oxygen didn't cause anyother problems and he was my miracle baby.........
