It feels a bit goofy to admit it but I'm super happy that everything went so well for an obnoxious attention whore that I'll never meet and have no real investment in.
The internet's a weird place, man.

I mean, yeah... baby Ari isn't completely out of the woods yet due to her prematurity and who knows if she'll have her own disabilities--either genetically or from the meds Alex took? Plus, her father is an absolute trainwreck with a less than 1% chance of getting his shit together but still... it's always a good day when a new baby arrives.

Well, hey! One thing went well apparently! Now we need things to go well for anotherrrr... 18+ years. Lovely.

After my last post and people pointing out Noah's possibly violent reactions due to BPD/addiction, I'm now on the side of "he needs to go take care of himself first". I would rather Noah get the help he needs before he does something unforgivable.

No PL, let's just say I know a few people (some very intimately) with untreated BPD. Could not imagine having something so serious, without the tools to handle it, and trying to raise another human being at the same time.

I have BPD myself and I agree 1000%. He needs to spend some time doing some serious work getting his shit together before he tries to be in that child's life, or he's better staying away.

Good that the delivery seems to have gone well. I've been out of this thread for a bit, so it's good it's not a complete horrowshow at the moment. As trashy and questionable a parent as Alex may be, whatever the doctors publish about her case will probably be useful to other moms with her condition (now that people with it are actually living into adulthood and all).

Can someone with medial experience identify the thick tubing on the left? To me it looks like Ari might be on a ventilator, but I don't actually have any medical expertise so I don't want to say that confidently.

Yes. That tubing is part of the in-line suction catheter. The foot monitor is a pulse oximeter, and Alex is on continuous cardiac monitoring.

Eww, did she HAVE to be nikkid for something as nonsexual as childbirth??

It's incredibly common for people to want to totally strip down when in labour, you get really hot and sweaty and uncomfortable. You don't give a shit who is looking as long as the baby gets out of you.
Plus she's totally covered here, and this also makes it easy for her to get some skin to skin cuddles.

I thought this was before she got to the hospital. I think most people wear clothes on the drive there. I understand not wanting stuff on while in labour. I'm just so used to her gross pics being nikkid all the time around home.

Since it's not uncommon for c section docs to just plop your organs on your chest during the procedure, do you think they still had to actively prevent her uterus from falling out while cutting the baby out? Esp since it was leaning so heavily to one side.

Eta: if the filming went through, I wonder how much it affected the natural flow of the procedure? I imagine it's much more stressful with a camera on you while you work. I'm very curious to know what the doctors and nurses may have said if they weren't there.

Nah, or sort of. You want the uterus displaced to the left when the person is flat on their back to avoid compression of the vena cava, so most people have a rolled up blanket under their right hip during a c section. Then the OR table can be “airplaned” to bring the operative field flat, especially in someone who is intubated,

She was put under general anesthesia, so she would have been stripped anyway before they draped her for surgery, and had a clean gown put on her when the procedure was over.

Does anyone remember the program "The Operation" that aired on either TLC or the Discovery Channel back when both of those channels had educational programming? This was from the early to mid 1990s. Anyway, they showed a cesarean section, and the part that surprised me the most was that after the baby was removed, the doctor "exteriorized" the uterus (i.e. took it out) and made sure the placenta was all out and then sewed it up at this time. Right after birth, it's about the size of a cantaloupe. p.s. I believe that every 12-year-old should have to watch this kind of thing.

BTW, since I'm here, by far the gnarliest procedure was the vasectomy reversal. My legs were tying up in knots, and I don't even have testes.

Is the picture at her house before going to the hospital or at the hospital? Cus hospital makes sense but on the ride there doesn't.
