Gabriela Castrovinci Instagram – Happy Saturday Luvs . So my little Turkey was born on November 25th @8:46am. Healthy & handsome little guy called Armani Mateo G. Months preparing for a home birth and unfortunately I ended up having an emergency C-section. I’ve been under OBGYN care my whole pregnancy. I’ve never missed one appointment and she failed to diagnose me with placenta prévia at my 20th week prenatal appointment. I had multiple visits at All Children’s Hospital and Morton Plant Bay Care and both healthcare providers never looked at my ultrasounds thoroughly. In the past two weeks I had some issues where my little baby had flipped from cephalic into a breech position. I was shocked and very stressed about it because he had been cephalic since his 30th week and as you know being breech would have been a problem for my home delivery. My OB on Monday did a very brief ultrasound of less than a minute to confirm that Armani was head down. Once again not content with my OB’s treatment I decided to take my midwife’s advice and schedule an appointment on Tuesday with private ultrasound tech. During my appointment at this new location the tech decided to do a more thorough ultrasound because my baby’s father has not been able to attend any appointments due to Covid. This amazing ultrasound tech found out that I had Placenta Prévia. Soon after my appt we talked to my midwife and she told us to go Tampa Gen immediately. As soon as we arrived they brought is straight to labor & delivery department where they also confirmed with an ultrsound that I had placenta prévia. The doctors at Tampa Gen told me to quickly go home and pack a bag and come right back for a c-section because I had started naturally inducing my baby by using herbs, Acupuncture, etc… On Wednesday at midnight we arrived back at the hospital for the big day. My surgery was great, they controlled the hemorrhage really well. This hospital is baby friendly, respect Woman. Never once I was not with my baby. They did all the assessments by my bedside. Long story short my son Armani and the ultrasound tech saved our lives. 🙏🏽
