hey everyone just want to share my story and to get some more advice and to possibly help others. My due date was for March 2nd. But went into labor on Sat 2/24/2012 funny thing was all the events that happened up to my delivery. it started at about 4:30 am where it seemed as my water broke. I was up down trying to go back to bed and around 5:30 took a shower by then was having contractions about every half hour. This is my second baby and that labor lasted 22 hours so I figured I had plenty of time. i then did not want to wake my husband up just in case it was false labor so I went got gas in the car and donuts for our boys at home. bythe time i got back my contractions were about every fifteen min and stronger. I called my ob who said go in within the hour that was at like 7 so i wake everyone up get our boys ready for school and we pull out to drop them off and head to hospital come to find out we have a completley flat tire in the back off the rim and all. My husband was about a block away from the preschool so he runs them to school in the snow and tries to get back asap now im still sitting in the car with the older boy in a gas station parking lot trying to figure out wth we are going to do . by this time my contractions are pretty intense about every ten min apart and the pain is becoming unbearabul. long story short my husbands dad picked us up drove us to my hospital which is about 30 min away got there in like 20 lol. and it was like all a blur from there got up to labor and delieverie where they were expecting me. all i wanted by then was an epidural and could not think about anything else it hurt so bad but when the checked me st about 9:30 i was a 6 at 9:45 i was an 8 all in a matter of 10 min this lil girl was ready to come out. she wanted to be borne the day after one of her big brothers birthdays lol. so they kept telling me just waiting for blood work to get epidural well wond up having to push and pushing her out in like 5 pushes and right as my doc arrived at 10:32 am through out my whole pregnancy i was on 1 to 1.5 pill of subutex aka 12max mg i was at that mainly as i was getting bigger but maj time stayed on 8 mg which i believe does not make a diff what mg you are on
now we were both discharged yesterday at about 1:pm she had a scoring of like 9.9 i believe almost perfect one lady said. all her tests were good and they said she was completely healthy at the hospital i noticed she sneezed a little bit sneezing had a startling reflex but they took her to nursery and said she was fine. the only person who was aware of me taking subutex was my ob. all the nurses were amazing at the hospital I went to especially with all my screaming and grunting. I am in tons of pain but taking the motrin and subutex and surviving it tends to hurt more when i breast feed. NOW MY FEARS she is i am paranoid and just super paranoid and being scared about her getting nas she is about 37 hours old and I have been home i feel like she is irritable , her temp is 99.4 and please someone give me some relief and tell me what to look for and do if she starts showing signs of nas my hormones are going crazy and as i think about it the more upset i get crying and feeling bad for what i done. I never wanted to do this to her but my docs said it was the way to do it so plz help i have a 3 year old but having a newborn is like a new thing all over again
