My second pregnancy was a scary one. On the weekend of my 36th week, I woke up with my sheets wet with sweat, but yet I was shivering. Dr. Seidel was on call that day, and he told me to take my temp, which was 102.6. I headed to the hospital, where I spent the next week. I had blood drawn, which showed an infection in my bloodstream, which was dangerous to me and the baby. They worked hard to find a antibiotic that would kill all three strains of the bacteria. By Friday, I was doing much better, so they decided to induce me instead of sending me home. Monday would be the 38th week, and they didn't want me to go past that since I had gestational diabetes, and my first baby was 8pds 15oz. When they started the medicine to induce me, my blood pressure when very high, and each contraction was putting stress on the baby. They had to do an emergency C-section, and I was fortunate for that since the cord was wrapped around my son's neck twice. After four days, I went home with a beautiful 7pd 9oz baby boy!! When I got home, that was the HARDEST part. POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION set in really quickly. I called Dr. Seidel, and all I could do was cry. I couldn't sleep, and I didn't want to eat. I felt like someone had died. I was in such a dark and depressive place. Dr. Seidel talked to me, and was so very caring, compassionate, and understanding to what I was going through. I will NEVER forget how he gave not only me, but my mother, encouragement that I would eventually get better. He's not only a great doctor, but a great person as well!! I can't thank him enough for what he did for me...
