I will backtrack briefly to the first night in the hospital. The doctors advised they would have someone from the NICU come speak to us about what to expect should we have the baby early. A NP named Louise came in at nearly 10PM and went through a ton of information that had us spinning. The info included where I would be during delivery (if needed) and where the baby would go, when we would see it, and what to expect the baby to look like. This also added to our anxiety going to bed.
The next morning we woke up about 6AM when a nurse came in to check Robin's vitals. She said the baby looked pretty good through the night and the contractions had spread out and become less intense. All good news. She left us to catch up on sleep as we did not get much through the night. About 45 min later a couple nurses came in and said that the baby was experiencing more dips on the monitor and that the doctor would be coming in. The doctor came in and said they are keeping a close eye on it and that they would also get their 'high risk' doctor involved. 20 minutes later someone from anesthesiology came in and asked questions regarding previous surgery and allergies and said they were preparing 'just in case'.
Within the next 30 minutes, 'just in case' became reality....
