My baby is here

This is so hard. But my baby is in the NICU. She was born 12/6 @9:35pm (due date 12/9 full term 39 weeks).I can’t stop crying. I was about 5 cm dilated when they said they couldn’t hear her heart and they did an emergency c-section. My baby was brain dead for about 3-4 minutes and the doctor told us to either make her comfortable before her last few days or keep fighting. We were ready to let her go so she doesn’t have to stuffer but then they said she is making better improvements. I wish the doctors could have waited before telling us we had to get ready to let her go. I was so numb when the doctors told me I couldn’t process what was happening. She is a day old now and I need her to fight to be here. I have had a healthy pregnancy and all I can think about is what made it go wrong. My daughter also has nine fingers. I would never wish this even to my worse enemy. I have cried so much in just one day. I started walking today and I am fighting for her but I need her to fight for her family. So much stress in the last 24 hours i just want to hold her. It’s going to be so hard when I am discharged and my daughter has to stay here, I need her. Arya Rosa Miranda is her name I love you baby girl.

I am so so sorry for what your going through and for your baby girl. I’m keeping you both in my thoughts and I hope she continues to make big strides. She’s a fighter!!!

I pray that she gets better by Gods grace 🙏 my prayers are with your family

God bless you Arya. You are a fighter and your family loves you a lot. Get well soon and praying for you 🙏🏻

God bless you 🙏 stay strong and pray the lord

I’m so sorry 😢 did they know of anything before her birth at all? What was your labor like? I am praying she pulls through. ❤️

I’m so so sorry, no mom should have to go through this.

no everything was going well during delivery. Then a bunch of nurses and doctors came in to find her heart beat but her heart rate was jumping. That’s when they rushed me into the OR to take her out via c-section.

Sending you hugs mama. Stay strong. Baby girl is still connected to you—be brave for her so she will know how to be brave too.

Mama, your strength in this situation is very inspiring!! My baby was born on 10/22 and was in the NICU for about three weeks because he was born prematurely at 32 weeks. Prayer and calling out to God got me through that time. Stay strong as best you can for her! She needs you! You & baby girl are in my prayers 🙏🏻 Keep speaking life over her no matter what! 🤍 can’t wait to see update on you going home with your baby.

I’m literally crying for you! That is so scary and so sad! I will be keep your daughter and you in my prayers and hoping she is able to make a full recovery.

Praying for you and your sweet girl!

GOD is going to work it all out in your favor🙏🏼✝️❤️🙌🏽 she's a fighter just like her mom apparently so don't worry. Keep praying and I'm orating for you all! I know this is rough and I'm so sorry you're going through this🫶🏽

Sending you and your generous daughter so much prayers!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 keep strong ❤️

C - section

Hello lovelies, I’m getting closer to my date of c section.

Can I ask how it all went for you? I felt prepared and now I have this awful feeling what if I bleed out! I’m sure that’s not the case. But I just wondered how it went, and how the aftermath was. I have seen on social media people say it’s horrendous but then I speak to friends and family and they’re like yeah it’s not easy but you can cope! You can walk, etc. I think it’s the unknown… lol!

Also were you all sick during your procedure and did you all get terrible trapped gas? If so what tips do you have xx

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Can you see anything? I’m 12 DPO 🙏

My own opinion is that this is inconclusive (can maybe see a vvvfl but could also be an indent too hard to tell) but curious what others see

Best way to be induced??

I just found out I may need to be induced early due to preeclampsia and having a generally bigger baby which of the ways to be induced do y’all recommended?

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
