My baby was born at 10 o'clock that morning. With the history of what was going on, they called in some NICU personnel. They did care for him after he was born. He was not breathing. I was terrified. Then also it's like starting up this new massive amount of fear of like what's ahead of us. My OB, she was the delivery OB and then she was the one that followed up on me until I was discharged.

I thought she was good during delivery. I had no concerns. I actually felt quite comfortable and safe with her there when I was being discharged from the hospital. My OB came in with my discharge paperwork to go over it. I wanted to know where I was in terms of the spectrum of severity because I feel pretty torn up. She looked at me and she said, you did push for two and a half hours.

That's kind of the max that we'll let people go to. I mean, you're pretty bad. I was like, yeah, kind of rolling my eyes. Plus the six hours I pushed at the birth center. She looked at me and she said, what do you mean you pushed at the birth center? And I said, I thought that was why my cervix was so swollen. Obviously, she wasn't given this information by Origins. She was shocked.

She said, you're not supposed to push until you're fully dilated, 10 centimeters. You weren't fully dilated when you got here. So why were you pushing? She said, do you know what could have happened? You could have torn your cervix. And I later found out that if you tear a cervix, you can hemorrhage and bleed out. I lost it.

When she told me that, that was the moment that everything changed for the rest of my life. We went home Tuesday evening late. Those days following, I was unable to take deep breaths. I could only take shallow breaths for days. It was terrifying. It was like I was hyperventilating almost.

And I brought that up to the OB and she said, well, I would attribute to the fact that you probably have some swelling in your lungs. Your muscles are sore. You fatigued your muscles. She said, I would not be surprised if you injured yourself. a lot more in your abdomen than you realize.
