Holy shitsnacks! Was that because of the drugs or because of pressure on the spine? Are you okay?
I was in rip roarin' labor by the time the anesthesiologist was able to come see me. Blue had to physically hold me down between contractions so they could insert the needle. He did quite the good job, actually, as I fucking HATED him for doing it!
Turns out the doctor was a bit put off his game by my fussing. He some how missed the spot an epidural is supposed to go in! I got a full on spinal with the normal dosage the epi would have been!
So, Blue has this fear of hospitals and after going through that he's bugging out so I tel lhim to take a bit...go grabs some McD's, we'll call him if anything happens.
MINUTES after he leaves I feel cold...numb! But so cold...then my hands and jaw are shaking. Soon my thoughts are just blinking in and out and I can't really speak....
My blood pressure had dipped way low. A 70 over something? I don't know how that stuff goes but it had the attending nurse in panic. She tried to roll me to my back..and then the babies heart rate would dip too low.
So the anesthesiologist is back along with his senior. Then some nurses and a doctor. I can barely register all this...the only thing I remember REAL clearly is one nurse smiling and saying 'YOU ARE OKAY, OKAY?!'
Well, that and "We should call her husband...." and me responding "Noooot yeeeeeeeeeet." or something like that. Blue is a terrible person to have around in a medical panic!
They dropped the dosage of drugs so I could feel pressure again and soon, aside from the annoying tightening down below and the growing urge to push, I was right as rain. Chatting as if nothing ever happened.
Blue came back I gave him the whole story and he stunned yet somewhat thankful to not have been there.
