Margaret Rose was born 7 weeks early, on April 2nd at 1:56 pm. After my water breaking at 3:30am, I had contractions 3-4 minutes apart, with the doctor hoping nothing would change for 24 hours. I had a contraction somewhere between 1:30 and 1:45 that lasted for at least 8 minutes, Margaret's heart rate plunged and I was rushed out for an emergency c-section.
We are both doing well now. Margaret is still in the NICU, but has been doing remarkable and will hopefully be coming home soon. I came home on Thursday.
I will post a more detailed birth story soon. I am still working on writing it, not an easy task as there are so many emotions going on right now.
Congratulations on Margaret Rose's grand entrance. I'm glad to hear that she's doing well, but what a scare you all had!
ReplyDeleteI hope she's able to come home very soon.
