Why were you in the hospital for so long for each? Asking from a FTM

@Mellow with Ellie it was because she had made a bowel movement in the womb and she inhaled some meconium, so she needed some help breathing for a couple days, she was also jaundice, on top of a broken collarbone from getting stuck in my pelvis😅 i had undiagnosed gestational diabetes. PLEASE GET A GROWTH ULTRASOUND BEFORE BIRTH!! & with Serenity she was born completely healthy but I had a false positive syphilis test at birth (crazy right???) and after fighting with doctors and a lot of emotional distress, it took some days for the tests to come back as a false positive even though i was absolutely sure i didn’t have it, i have been married in a STRICTLY monogamous relationship for 2 years, absolutely impossible. The doctors held us on a 10 day mandatory hospital stay with penicillin antibiotics. My poor 3 day old baby had to go through 2 lumbar punctures, unnecessary testing for other diseases, and overall was being tortured for days:/ it was an awful experience.

@Austyn omg 😱🫣😞 that’s terrifying! I’m glad everything turned out alright at the end!

@Mellow but it was a complete freak thing that unfortunately can happen but luckily Serenity is completely healthy and is growing like a weed🩷 an unfortunate start to life but i am so thankful she is healthy and nothing ever came of anything. And Ellie is a completely healthy thriving 3 year old, no problems with her shoulder and is the sweetest girl🩷

@Austyn did you sue the hospital for mal practice for the false test?? If. Or you definitely can! Wow I’m sorry that happened 😕😔
