Pregnancy Woes

I now have a 7mnth old beautiful girl and as I look back everything that could have gone wrong in my delivery did. I was in full blown labor and had my epidural, was constintlly throwing up and having to push at the same time. After 2 hours of pushing so hard my blood vessels began to burst in my eyes, they decided that the baby was not coming out and that we were goin in for a c-section. Come to find out she was face up and I had pushed so hard that her head had molded to my birth canal and she was stuck. I had recived to much epidural and now had become aclimated to the meds and it took the an extra 20 minutes to get me numb. Finally we were ready and the horizontal cut was not enough she was stuck and in distress, and then they had to cut me vertically then dig her feet out of my ribs.she was blue as a blue jay and I heard no screaming. It took them a while to get her going but once I heard her scream I passed out. When I finally got to see her she had a black eye and a cappett which is a large bruise on the babies head where i had been pushing, this made her jaundice so high that I didnt get to take her home for 7 days. So after all that I have a healthy baby girl who I couldnt love more, but I never thought that I would ever have a delivery like that and as much as I had planned to have a vaginal birth and dreaded a c-section, non of the planning nor worrying helped. It is what it is, and whatever is going to happen will no matter what u try and prevent. Just ask questions, and make sure that u feel comfortable with your doctor because w/o mine I or my child would not be here.
