My Princess is here... I ended up in ICU

edited June 2011 in Giving birth
Just like the title says Monday I went in the hospital june 13 for decreased fetal movement I was 38w 5 days. The fluid was low they decided to do my c section than since I had one almost 3 years ago it was gonna be routine.... I was so excited bout meeting my baby I was prep for my spinal which took forever for the man to do.. Finally my hubby came in and they started I was feeling good didnt feel much but pressure bout 20 mins lata she was born... THAN all of sudden I started feeling drowsy and started itching n I was burning up felt like I was on fire I started scratching everywhere my hubby told the anesteologist that something was wrong he than gave me benadryl by than i was getting nausated he than gave me something to knock me out... To they surprise I was still up n started becoming incooperative.... I thought I had blocked out I woke up with a flashlight in my eye with about 10 doc standing round me telling me I was in ICU and they were gonna put me on a ventilator because i went into full respiratory arrest... I couldnt really say much I saw my husband n said I love you where is the bby... My oxygen started going up and they had my hubby hold a convo with me and it finally got to 100% I had to stay in ICU for 24hours before I got to see my baby the docs got me well enough I finally seen her and shes so beautiful has freckles everywhere her name is Jade she weigh 6lbs 14oz and is doing great... We got released yesterday and came to the conclusion im one of the cases that has a bad reaction from the spinal... I have tge worst spinal headache ever but I cant complain because im still alive and have 2 beautiful kids with a loving hubby that helped me pull through

*sorry for all the typos im on my phone... I will post pics soon*

    Babies can be born with freckles? I really thought they only came from the sun.

  • Make them do a thing called a blood patch. It is the ONLY thing that works for a spinal headache. I had one from a spinal block and had it for 3 WEEKS! I missed the first 3 weeks of my daughters life :( they told me to drink lots of coke and blah blah blah.... I had to have 2 blood patches. Ill never have anything put in my back again. I went natural with my 2nd and ill do it again!
  • Glad your okay!! And congratulations! !!

    @mrr2114 they offered me the blood patch but I refused from everything that had happen I am terrified of that... I been taking advil them helps it sometimes
  • My blood patcg failed. Spinal headaches suck
  • I totally agree with @mrr2114 I had a spinal headache for over a week. It will not go away till the bloodpatch and then seriously it is instantously as soon as your blood hits your brain **poof** spinal headache gone! Congrats on little Jade!!!
  • I had to have 2. My sister had to have 3. Are you still in the hospital? Cuz when I got home I had to stay with family cuz I couldn't even take a shower. Stayed layin down for 3 weeks. It sucked. I hope that yours gets better and congrats on your baby btw!
