Zoe my micro-preemie was born at on June 7th 2011 at 12:54 Am at 23w 6d via c-section. This started about 2 weeks ago. I was in and out of L&D for contractions, bleeding and a UTI. We thought the medication I was on would fixed everything but didn't. On Friday June 3rd my bleeding was worse and the contractions had come back. They did an ultrasound and come to find out my cerclage (It was placed at 17 weeks) wasn't holding and I was already 6 cm dialated. My OB placed me on hospital bedrest til at least 24 weeks, which was 6 days away. They tried everything to stop the contrations and the bleeding but it wasn't working. By Monday night into Tuesday morning I had passed a clot about the size of a baseball, the contractions had got worse and the bleeding was out of control (sorry if this is total TMI). She was breached and her feet were already hanging out of my cervix so a c-section was the safest way to go fo both of us.
I called Henry and told him I was being rushed into the OR to have the c-section done, he was working so it would be about 20 mins til her got there. My next call was to a few family members, My sister in law Nani who rushed to be by side while Henry was making his way to the hospital. Henry made it the second they started and was by side during the c-section. I was in the OR by 12:15 AM Tuesday morning and she was born at 12:54 AM Tuesday morning. She was 1 lb 7 oz and 11 inches long. Henry rushed over to CHOC (Childrens Hospital of Orange County) with her to make sure everything was going well. She was placed on breathing mechines and was stablized.
At this point it was just a waiting game and all we could do was pray that she was going to be okay, it was all in gods hands. Thank you to everyone who was praying for our little angel.
