the complications after delivery.... (never posted before, here it is)
Hey I posted my labor story a couple weeks ago and forgot to write the complications and why my love couldn't go home with me right away :-( Here it is, a few of you were asking...
At the end of my delivery, something was causing his heartbeat to drop pretty dramatically during contractions (cord was pinched or something) so it got pretty scary. A million nurses rushed into the room and they were giving me oxygen and stuff. He came out and was breathing really fast and shallow and he was blue so they brought him to the NICU and determined he breathed in a lot of fluid, I guess they sometimes do that if they are under stress and their heartbeat drops. But the fluid got infected really quickly after delivery and he got pneumonia so he had to stay in the NICU for about 8 days. It was the scariest thing of my life!!!!! They had him on a million IVs and in an oxygen hood and it was so heartbreaking. I cried everytime I saw him, but BAWLED every time I left him, especially when I had to leave the hospital without him...
