Squish's Birth Story
The Journey:
The past year and a half we went from never in a million years EVER believing we'd have a child together, to getting the super surprise and shock of being pregnant, to actually getting excited about a baby, only to have our new dreams all blown away by a miscarriage. At this point there was no going back for me, I had already turned into the crazy lady and decided we were going to keep going and try again - on purpose. So we tried again, only to suffer another loss. One more try, only this time I had more knowledge of progesterone and baby aspirin. If I had anything to do with it, the third time was going to be the charm. I fought for my progesterone, I fought for the baby aspririn and wound up fighting for several more things. We got through that and then found out we had a 5% chance of Down Syndrome and 27% chance of Trisomy 13 and 18, he beat those odds on the amnio, and then the chance of heart disease was very high and he came through with baby EKG showing that he was 100% healthy. Then I found out I passed the gestational diabetes test but was Anemic so I went on iron pills and stool softeners. Then came SPD which is when your pelvic pain/pressure from the pelvis starting to spread early on. Ouch. But what's a little pelvis pain without severe adema? My ankles feet and toes got the worst of the swelling. Then I noticed my hands and feet itched a little but didn't think anything of it... entering the 3rd trimester I started having itching on my chest. Then my neck started itching with it - then it went to my cheeks. I wanted to scratch my chest and face off. Luckily one of my fellow birth month buddies told me about her itching with ICP or what they call Pregnancy Cholestasis. It's when your liver makes too much bile and that causes the itching. Nothing helps it except being on the meds for it and even then sometimes it doesn't help. I asked my doc to be tested, the results took a week and during that time my itching got worse - I had to fight again and begged for her to let me TRY the meds for 10 days, if it helped we would know I have it. She agreed, it helped and that following Monday my bile results came back and indeed I was positive for ICP. This is fatal to the baby so I had to go for weekly Non-Stress tests to watch him and my fetal specialists required me to get bi-weekly sonograms to keep watch on him, and induction was set for 37 weeks.
