Kayla D.- One Hospital Induction to Cesarean Section under General Anesthesia, Gestational Hypertension, Failed Epidural, NICU
Kayla shares her story on this episode of the podcast. The story begins with her and her husband Jordan conceiving after about 5 months of trying. The pregnancy went generally well but she struggled with nausea and vomiting and ended up being diagnosed with Gestational Hypertension early on in the pregnancy. Although some care providers had talked about induction very early on, she was able to avoid it until the very end of her pregnancy. They did end up inducing Kayla around her due date and she goes into detail about the lengthy process which ultimately ended in a c-section and her needing to be fully put under general anesthesia. She then shares the next intense part of the story involving her son having breathing issues and needing to be flown to a NICU in another city with her husband while she had to stay behind.
