Re: Birth Stories
baby no 3 came as a total surprise
pregnancy was hard… i was told throughout that i have a history of Pre-Eclampsia so i was monitored closely (it was so annoying) and i had no choice but to have a 3rd c-section,
the symptoms of Pre-eclampsia kicked in mid pregnancy i was given aspirin to help regulate my BP…i was stressed out but adamant that my baby will not be early…i was fast approaching 33 weeks…it came and went by to my relief, but come 34 weeks i was admitted to hospital again, deja vu… i knew the drill this time… first the steroid injection, i told them i was allergic to the BP medication…and i knew the symptoms when my BP rose…my c-section was scheduled for 38 weeks, but my BP shot up again at 36 weeks, so at 36 weeks i had a baby boy weighing 5lbs7 oz..he was handed to me straight away…he cried when i picked him up and when he saw me, i handed him over to his dad, he calmed down and looked up at him with his big beady eyes…my hubby finally got to hold one of his babies…
Alhmadulilah he was fit and well and i took him home 5 days later…
c-section 3rd time round is a killer
