I gave birth via emergency cesarean on Wednesday 2nd March 2016 to Riley Ana at 10:06am.
Just like Tyler I had preclampsia again. From around 32-34 weeks my blood pressure kept on going up. By 36 weeks and 6 days (29th Feb) I was admitted into hospital as my blood pressure would not stay down even after some blood pressure tablets labetalol. On the 1st of March at night time the midwife put me on the monitor for baby movement and heart beat etc. Riley's heartbeat kept on jumping. One minute it went down to 65 then went back up to 120-140 range and it even jumped up to over 200. It was still doing it in the morning of birth. I was due to have a elective cesarean on that day and would have been in the afternoon, but due to her heartbeat it was changed to emergency and they rushed me down to get prepared for the cesarean. I had to phone my partner Aran and let him know what was happening and he rushed down to hospital and managed to get there before they took me down to theatre. I had a spinal block which was painful putting it in but it was so much better then my first epidural I had with Tyler. Everything went fine.
Riley birth weight was 6Ib 2oz. She lost some weight in the first couple of days which is normal and went down to 5Ib 7oz but she has gone above her birth weight now and is 6Ib 5oz. We both are doing well. My scar is healing okay. First couple of days it was hard to move around but everything is good now. Not really had baby blues either.
