On the 29th of December we had our last check before we were to be enduced on the 30th. Unfortunately, we were given some bad news... The baby was breached and we were left with making a decision. We could try to flip the baby, with a 50% chance of success or we could have the c-section. After much thought and prayer, we decided to go ahead with the c-section.
We arrived at the hospital at 7:15 am and we waited... Dr.shope came to the room to see what we had decided about the flipping. We told him that we had decided to go ahead with the c-section. We waited a little longer as they prepped the room for the c-section. Right as the anestesiologist was getting ready to put the needle in for the spinal block he had to stop becuase they had to do an emergency c-section on another patient... This was actually good, because I was pretty stressed out when I saw all of the equipment in the c-section room. I then had time to think about what was actually going to happen. I needed that extra hour.
It was finally time. The spinal block worked great and the surgery went on. A few minutes later we had our baby girl. The nurses and doctors were great. It was a good experience and I am thankful to all that helped us while we were at the hospital.
