Morning Star Women's Health & Birth Center

Pregnancy
Labor and Delivery
At about 10:30, I got into the tub. I was on my knees with my head and arms resting on a towel on the side, quiet, eyes closed, completely still, and breathing through my contractions. About a week before I gave birth, I had watched a video on Baby Center (http://www.babycenter.com/2_inside-pregnancy-labor-and-birth_3658872.bc). It was a really simple portrayal of exactly what happens during a vaginal birth and made it really easy for me to visualize what was happening in my body.

Ultrasound
My pregnancy had been unexpected even though we had been trying for 2 years. After 2 losses and some genetic issues, we were uncertain as to what our journey was going to be to become parents. Learning you are 8 1/2 weeks pregnant after 4 negative tests and one ultrasound just 3 weeks before is quite a shock... a welcome and happy shock!

Ulcer
The day we found out we were pregnant was one of the happiest days of my life; however that happiness was short lived. It seemed that every step of this pregnancy was plagued by one event after another. I stressed and worried my way through the entire pregnancy. It's a wonder that I did not get an ulcer on top of everything else. First there were the E-coli infections and the discovery of Group B Strep which meant that I would have to have an IV at birth. We were ok with that, even though it meant saturating our unborn son with yet another medication. Then came the discovery that I had gestational Diabetes. I was scared that I would have to transfer out of Morning Star's care and into the care of a hospital. We fought back and controlled the Diabetes with a strict diet throughout the remainder of the pregnancy. We thought we were doing well and through it all the wonderful staff of Morning Star was by our sides encouraging us along the way. Then six days before our estimated due date things took a scary and drastic turn for the worse.
