I felt like getting an epidural was admitting defeat and failure. Amy was just like, oh my gosh, yes, she can do the epidural. You get in this mental state when you're in that environment of natural birth where it's like epidural is bad when it was a great needed intervention for me. My OB, she was the OB that Origins gave all their shit shows to. If things went south, they would call her.

She's a wonderful doctor, very patient. She did not rush me to a C-section. And later I asked her why. And she said, because you and the baby were still okay. She let me labor. There was some turning off the Pitocin and turning on. And Sadie, my daughter, who I was in labor with, Sadie absorbed some of the magnesium. So her heart rate was going up and down. Amy did call.

She was texting with my husband, checking on the status. I think she was actually staying at the birthing center. When I was pushing, she did show up to support and be there. When it was time to push, that's when things got scary. At this point, I had been in labor from Friday night to Sunday morning with little to no sleep. I pushed for an hour and a half. Sadie, they lost her heart rate.

They had to get Sadie out then. So she had to give me an episiotomy. Sadie popped out. I remember she held Sadie up. There was no crying. My baby was completely limp and covered in meconium. And so she gets Sadie out of there. She passes them off to the NICU and the NICU is working on her. She was five pounds, three ounces, the size of a 34 week old.

I have a video of her laying on the little baby bassinet. And she's completely flaccid. Normally, you know, a baby is very flexed and their arms are drawn up, their knees are drawn up. Her cry is not even a cry. It's a whimper. Her APGAR at one minute was a two. All she had for the first minute of her life was a heart rate. She wasn't breathing. Her skin color was not good.

They had to use some respiratory resuscitation efforts to get her to start breathing and crying. At five minutes, her APGAR was a five. At five minutes of life, she had a little bit of skin color to her. Her muscle tone was really loose. She wasn't gripped up like a newborn normally is. She did recover at 10 minutes and she was a nine, thankfully.

Then all of a sudden, I just remember, I just hear this pouring sound. As if someone was pouring water on the floor. I'm like, what is that? I found out it was me. I was hemorrhaging because the placenta had abrupted from the wall. I delivered the placenta. I was just so curious. I was like, I want to see my placenta. Normally a placenta is the size of like a large dinner plate.

And mine was the size of a small pancake. So it just shows you like how damaged and how unhealthy that placenta was. And that's why Sadie was born so small and weak. The placenta was very sick. After I had Sadie, it was maybe like an hour after, like she was laying on my chest and Dr. Fuller said, your cheeks are really red. She told the nurse, can you take her temperature?
