My baby is here 🩵

Last time I was on this app I was telling you all how I found out I was pregnant at 4 weeks 33 weeks later I had my handsome baby boy. It was a long stressful pregnancy (well months 8 and 9). I was in and out of the hospital then entire month of March and the first two weeks in April. I switched hospitals and everything. I was sick for a whole month, couldn’t go to work or anything. I had diarrhea for the whole month of March and the first hospital I was at did not diagnose me but was giving me medicine all of the time and it was not working, my legs were swelling and it was hard to walk they did not check to see if I had a blood clot or anything. When I was on the monitor they told me my baby’s heart rate kept dropping and they were going to get him out. They gave me steroids and everything to help his lungs develop early, I was in pain everyday. They sent me home every other day during my month stay. Once I switched hospitals they finally diagnosed me with C-diff which is highly contagious and I could have gave it to anyone in my house as well as my baby if they would have took him out early at the other hospital. Long story short I ended up giving birth at 37 weeks and 4 days, meet baby Ace ✨🩵

... Read morePregnancy can be a tumultuous experience filled with challenges, and mine was no exception. As I navigated through health complications such as C-diff and the concern for my baby's well-being, I learned the importance of finding the right medical care. It's crucial to advocate for yourself during pregnancy, ensuring that your healthcare providers address all your concerns thoroughly. From dietary changes to managing pregnancy symptoms, many mothers face similar hurdles. Sharing stories of resilience is vital, as it helps new parents connect and understand that they are not alone in their experiences. Additionally, celebrating milestones such as baby’s first Easter brings joy amidst the struggles. If you’re on a similar journey, remember to prioritize self-care and surround yourself with supportive friends and family to uplift your spirits. Let's cherish every moment with our little ones!
