Our Delivery Story (2)

**Us in the recovery room**

When the doctor's began stitching me back up together the nurses kept calling Naty to go see his son but he didn't want to leave my side, lol so I had to yell at him and say, "Naty! go with the baby, I'm ok!" and that's when he got up and started taking pictures of the baby. After they were done they wheeled me over to recovery where they monitored me and I got to love on my little Nathaniel. Recovery is usually an hour BUT since I had a big surgery (I didn't know what they meant by that till waaaaaaaaaay later) they wanted to monitor me more so I got out of there in about 2 hours. I felt bad for Naty cause he hadn't ate (I hadn't either) and he said he wanted to suffer like I was and wasn't going to eat till I can, LOL! That's when I told him to LEAVE and get something NOW.

So I finally get wheeled into my room and I'm surrounded by nurses that swear they're going to be able to move me into my bed, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!! I said, don't bother I'll move myself so I scooted my big self over with little effort and they were all shocked and could not believe I had so much mobility. One nurse even said, "Wow! ur ready for another c-section" and that's when I slapped her. JK! But anyway, Nate and I just waited for Naty to come back and he was there in a flash, I even asked him if he ate cause it was so fast.

My nurse came in and she was amazing! soooooo nice and caring. She told us that she would take Nate his first bath in our room so we got our cameras ready and here's a pic.




So everything was fine for a while till I started to feel something pour out of me....I told Naty that I felt like I was giving birth to something and he called the nurse. She came and said everything was fine and I'm passing the blood and clots that I should be, but then I noticed she kept coming in frequently and changing me and not saying a word, I knew something was wrong but she wouldn't say. I was hurting and just pooling in my own blood. I could feel myself get weaker and weaker and that's when the doctor came in and I heard her telling him that I'm bleeding excessively while she showed him all my monster hospital pads in the bathroom. I can hear him talking and saying I'll need to go back in surgery if he can't stop it with medication, that scared the crap out of me. My nurse came back in and said, "Marlene your bleeding is really bad and we've gotta try to stop it so we're gonna connect you to pitocin and give you an injection through your IV to try to stop it." So they get me all set up and now I'm contracting on top of everything else, it was horrible. A little later on the doctor (on-call, not mine) came in to check on me again and decided to manually remove these clots from me (use ur imagination) while he did this he was pushing on my stomach really hard, mind you I just had a c-section and this man is doing push-ups on my stomach. My nurse was amazing and held my hand, when she did that I tried to focus on something else while he did this and he said everything that he tried wasn't going to work and that I would need more surgery....
