Okay, so I'm 38 weeks pregnant with #2. My husband and I had a conversation the other night, and, well, here's what happened.
When our daughter was born 6 years ago, I almost died. We were at the hospital and the labor was progressing normally, and then out of the blue, my blood pressure went through the roof (like 190/100 or something like that). At the same time, the baby's heart rate went way down (from the normal 120s down to the 80s). The doctor was on his way, and the nurses were prepping me for an emergency c-section. Just before they gave me the anesthesia, the doctor shows up, checks to see how far dialated I am (7cm), and pulls my cevix over the baby's head. I'm out of my mind in pain, but she was delivered normally about 10 minutes later.
My husband was told later, after all is said and done, that if they'd given me the anesthesia, I would've probably had a stroke, because my BP was so high. They also said, if the doc hadn't shown when he did, they would've done it.
