Yep, they took her speeding away for a C-section when baby's heart beat had problem...wouldn't let me in the room. Nurses nearly screaming, obviously worried I was going to end up with a dead kid....and that was after a smooth 9 months. Baby was fine. They sat me in a doctor's office alone while this was going on. In scrubs...waiting to hear if my now daughter would live. Not enjoyable.

That must have been terrifying. In our case, he was clearly fine from the start (other than being jaundiced- he was a preemie), but I had to be sent off to recovery the first night so they could keep pumping me full of magnesium sulfate. That was really hard- I had less than an hour with him right after birth before they took me away.
