I Fear Giving Birth

I've always been affraid of giving birth but in july thid yr i did it. I had a premature baby girl, i turned down an epi and sucked on gas. Worst idea going, the gas only made me high and by the time i asked for pain relief it was too late.

Now if i have another kid thats not premature its gonna be scary to push a bigger bub out but next time i will get drugs!

How prem were they?

Hope you're both ok.
I had csection, at 32wks, and had 2 epis, spinal and extra drugs. High as a kite!

@SW-User 32+2,thanks yes we’re both good. Her placenta was tiny so she had to come thankfully she was head down. She was on cpap, oxygen and in the nicu and then scn for over 40 days. I tore and got cut....ouchy.

Oh no did your epi ware (think i spelled that wrong) off? Was your bub okay

@Dreamprojector Ah wow. How big was she? E was 32+2, stopped growing at 26-28 and was 2lbs 5oz. Went down to 1lb 10oz. She just had to grow. Came home at 3lbs 8oz 28 days later.

She's a normal 4yr old!

@SW-User 1.8kg which is 3.9lbs i think & then dropped to 1.6kg.
That must have been so scary to know bub stopped growing so early & gosh your bub was tiny! But im so glad shes alright.
I wasnt allowed to take my LO home until she was 5.7lbs

@Dreamprojector Ah, she ok now? She had to maintain weight and heat. Was scary bringing her home.
