A baby Story

Tweet

I recently gave birth to a healthy baby girl. She came three and a half weeks early. She came out 5lbs and 7ounces. She was tiny but perfect bundle of joy for us. The experience was scary at first. I had no idea what to expect and no idea what to do during nor after birth. I had the epidural because i know i will have low tolerance on pain. That was an awesome decision I've made since it helped me deal with the whole labor process. But when it was time to push and I couldnt push yet, that was difficult. I ended up staying in the hospital for 5days since I had major swelling/bruising. i wasn't sure if it was because of the stitches or just too much rush on pushing which only took me about 35minutes to have the baby out. Every nurse who looked at me down there was shocked by how swollen I was. Since I was too swollen, I couldnt go to the bathroom. they had to put me on catheter. That lasted a day or two and It was depressing. I was in great pain, can barely get in and out of bed with the IV and catheter and the pain. Despite how awesome the result was, a lovely baby girl, it was almost traumatic. Now, I am still healing and recovering. Hopefully it gets better soon so I can at least enjoy taking care of the baby despite the sleepless nights and be brave enough to go out of the house without fearing the pain everytime I walk or sit down.
