Baby is in NICU :(

post #1 of 67
Thread Starter 
DH and I went to the hospital last night because the baby was not moving much. Luckily for us we went in because baby was in a great deal of stress. They monitored her for a while and were concerned about her heart rate and stressful delayed responsed to my contractions. Doc opted for an emergency C-section.

When they opened the amnio sac, it was nothing but blood...no clear liquid. They do not know if it was a placental abruption or hemmorage. Baby had to be airlifted to a children's hospital in downtown Phoenix. DH stayed w. her all night. She can't oxygenate on her own due to the blood in her lungs and they are also concerned about her pulmonary. There has really been no progress.

I feel so upset...I only saw her for a few moments and I am scared. I jjust want someone to tell me she will be okay but no one can I feel bad that I had this painless C-section and she is lying somewhere in pain. I want to get to her soon and was able to walk and pump some colostrum for her this morning.

Needless to say, this is not what I ever envisioned and I am still in shock. I am so glad I went in when I did but angry at myself for not knowing sooner and angry at my body for not protecting her as it should. All irrational I know, but everything seems surreal right now. I will update you all as I find out more....

So sorry. You'll find out soon what (if any) damage was done. My DD lacked oxygen in the womb. Let me know if you want details on what to expect.
