My preterm baby born 7 weeks early.

She was delivered by emergency c-section and it was very scary. Luckily I was already at the hospital due to my water breaking and I had been having preterm labor for weeks and was on medications to stop the contractions.

The nurses did a pelvic exam and within 15 minutes i felt i needed to go to the bathroom very bad and the nurse pulled back the sheets to help me up and the cord was out prolapsed! this was a true emergency since there was no oxygen getting to my baby. The nurses rushed me to surgery and they delivered my baby within 9 minutes they said.

i remimber before i was put under some of the nurses not even wearing scrubs yet in the surgery room. I am very thankful for their expert care during the surgery. My baby has several brain scans, heart scans and was only on oxygen for one day.

She was able to breathe on her own awhile after surgery which was a good sign. She was in the hosptial for 18 days and we went home.

Stevie Lynn is now 12 weeks old and now 9 lbs and doing great meeting all her milestones so far.


They did not think at this time there was any damage to her brain due to oxygen loss. She is a true blessing and we are so thankful that she made it ok!!!!!!

sincerely,,
