Just coming to update/get some advice/AW my latest crazy story. TW for content below:
***Oliver Scot was born at 33 weeks this morning. He is doing awesome.***
I started to have some cramping that woke me up around 1130 last night. I got up to go to the bathroom and noticed some pink tinged discharge that I though was NBD at first. I honestly just thought that I had peed my pants because pregnancy is glamorous. Apparently my membranes had ruptured and I was slowly leaking fluid.
I finally called the OB office around 115 because the cramping was getting worse. I called twice and never got a call back from the on call Dr. So I called L&D to let them know I was coming in because something wasn't right. I woke H up, told him I was going in to be checked out, and said I would call and let him know what was going on. He stayed home with Molly because I thought it was a false alarm.
I drove myself to the hospital and arrived at the ED at 204. They have it in my record. They wheeled me up to L&D where I continued to have contractions and was in a lot of pain. I didn't even get changed into a Johny or hooked up to monitors before I had to push. He was born at 224 am. Delivered by two nurses who were screaming at me to not push and that he was early. I could only respond with "I know that! I can't help it!" I made the nurse call H while I had a head half lodged in my vagina. He didn't make it to the birth, obviously. The OB showed up 30 minutes after he was born.
He is perfect. He cried almost right away and was on room air after a short stint on the oxygen mask before any doctors could get up to him. Respritory made it in time and the nurses were serious rock stars. He was transferred to a bigger hospital with a NICU and I should be able to get a bed there today. Otherwise they are discharging me so I can go down there. I sent H down with him. He is doing amazing for being so early and the NICU Dr who came to pick him up was really hopeful that he would have a short stay.
So, I am going to need all the tips and tricks from fellow NICU and pumping momma's, please?
He looks just like his sister.
