OMG!!! I can't even imagine the thought of possibly being paralyzed!!! Wow! I'm glad things worked out though for the best! I admire how you can see the positive side of everything! And i guess everyone was setting me up to prepare for like 36 hours plus of labor the first time around, so when it was only 12 i thought i did good!=) And i sure didn't want to be one of those that went to the hospital too early! Lol! So my water broke at home, and i waited till my contractions were 3 mins apart to go to the hospital. I really didn't have time to get scared the second time with the rupture...i was doing good, breathing through my contractions, and then like within two contractions everything just went scary painful. But they kept telling me i was just gonna push and be ok. Well, my doc didn't expect me to go that soon and she was in an operation then. Then (according to my hubby anyway) i let out a flood of blood, and they all started panicking and call for any available doc to come NOW! Well my doc walked in and was like, um she needs to be in the operating room right now! But like i said, it all didn't hit me untill i woke up after the surgery! I hated that i had to have two c sections, cause now i feel like i'll never loose that excess skin unless i get a tummy tuck Would like to try again for a vaginal birth next time if possible cause i hear the recovery is quicker. Well, that is if you don't have a wacked up doc like you did! I'd've been PISSED! Like i went through all that pregnancy, labor and birth only for you to mess me up?!!! I can't complain much i guess cause even with two c sections you really can't see my scar so they did a good job that way. Oh, and you gotta love the military medical...they sent me home with Motrin! Lol! Like that's suppose to help! I swear, the people that give out the medicine never went through ANYTHING! Oh, well...lets hope that my third time around- geeze, do i really want three??!! - and your second if you decide to, will go MUCH smoother!!
