Suprise at 34 weeks

March 2nd started out like any other work day. I received report from the night nurse, was assigned a student to follow me for the day, then I took the student to all the patient rooms to introduce ourselves and begin the day. Around 8 am I decided to sit down and chart. I suddenly felt a gush of fluid, so I ran to the restroom. I soon began to panic due to the large amount of blood I saw. The wonderful nurses I work with rushed me to the labor and delivery floor and I waited to be checked out. At this point I didn't know what to expect. The nurse attached a fetal monitor and soon told me I was having contractions every 3 minutes, this soon changed to every 1 minute. The nurses then started talking about a c-section at noon, but in my overwhelmed state I honestly thought they would stabilize me and send me home on bedrest. Once the doctor on call came to see me things started to sink in. I found out I had a placenta abruption causing the bleeding and that a c-section may be the safest option. The doctor said we would continue to monitor the baby and go from there. If he tolerated the labor then I could deliver normally. At noon they rolled in with the epidural. Unfortunately it was not in the correct location and did not numb me competely, but we didn't realize this until I was 8-10cm dilated. The anesthesiologist came in to restart another epidural but the nurse checked me and said I was 10cm dilated and I was feeling the intense need to push. The anesthesiologist then pushed meds through the epidural and told me to lay on my left side. About 10min later The doctor came in and at 9:15 pm Wyatt Lane Jolly was born! The nicu team was in the room, and took him immediatley. I did not get to hold him and didn't even see his face until the next day.
