Something terrible, to a new beginning.

Today i am 128 pounds! My body fat % is 22.6% and i am looking forward to getting it between 15-18%. and so excited! I am currently halfway through my program which started January 21st 2013. I have until May 31st to get to my goal, where just 2 weeks after than i will graduate from my first two years of college, the first in my generation. I started insanity last week and am more fit than i have been in 2 1/2 years. Gone from a size 6 to a size 4 in 66 days.... and for a year after i had my daughter.... i didnt even OWN a pair a jeans... i have come so far from sweatpants and XL shirts...

My story of how i got where i was... and how much i hated it.

omg where do i start???

i was 117 when i got pregnant, i was 199 at 9 months pregnant...

i had...

toxopasmosis- a bacteria contracted from cat feces or infected food, could has damaged the baby or uterus

cholestasis - SEVER itching because of liver disease... absolutely horrible, i scatched my thighs and tummy so bad i would bleed.... this lasted about 5 months STRAIGHT

pregnancy induced hypertension- protein in the urine, and EXTREMELY high blood pressure, i was induced because of it

bed rest- i had a 3 day period where my chest felt like it was going to cave in. i had to sleep sitting up in a couch, most horrible thig ever

preeclampsia- lost my peripheral vision for about 12 hours, scared the absolute hell out of me. they thing thats where the chest pain came from

RH factor- i had to get the two shots because i am A-, hurt like a brat too

urinary tract infections- Had it consistently for 6 months, they couldnt get it to go away and i was downing water and taking the only medication they could give me

THEN OF COURSE-
(mind you i had the whole thing planned out, COMPLETELY natural labor, no pitocin, on my own, even thought about a home birth)

-i was induced because of high blood pressure
-36 hours of labor
-HAD to get an epidural because of the high blood pressure, could had hurt the baby
- HAD to get pitocin because i wasnt going fast enough and they were worried for the baby
-Pushed for 5 minutes
-The babys head LODGED in my hip bones, i wasnt big enough
-Emergency c-section

OH its not over yet-

-C section went fine
- Day after baby was born, i was hold her and nursing... then ears started buzzing, nurse took her, i passed out, head ringing...
-Put on WATCH, had my OWN NURSE in birthing center
- Passed out onto the floor, nurse came in just in time, ringing in my ears again
- another surgery- they HAD TO REOPEN ME
- diagnosed with DIC-disseminated intravascular coagulation -acutely ill and shocked with widespread haemorrhage (common bleeding sites are mouth, nose and venepuncture sites), extensive bruising, renal failure and gangrene
- i was internally bleeding, the cuts they had made for he c section were not clotting
- ICU for 24 hours (babies arent allowed there, the hospital manager brought Nini to me, they didnt think i was gonna make it, they took pictures of us together, they still make me cry when i look at them)
- Left me OPEN after the surgery for 2 days with 'packaging' to soak up extra blood
-Went back to SURGERY to close me up
-Moved me back to birthing center so i could see Nini without problems
-yeast infection-
- SEVEN IV's - the top person who does the ivs, would not do it, they had to have the senior supervisior from Lordes medical center come to the hospital to do it...
- Oxygen mask
-Medications up the Wazzoo
- retained water to such an extent, i gained over 50 pounds during my hospital stay
- 1 iv in my right arm blew my vein, my entire arm was purple, black, and blue

oh and the absolute WORST THING EVER-
- because of all the swelling, my LABIA, the little lip next to the vagina, swelled to the size of a MANGO, i am not joking or exaggerating. the doctor honestly didnt know if i was going to ever be the same, it was so painful that i had to keep my legs as far away from eachother as possible, and when i stood, i had to stand like a cowboy.


- I was in the hospital for 12 days in all

- had to learn to walk twice, and under doctors orders, my husband, the baby, and i had to stay with my parents for 2 weeks so i didnt over do things

was the worst thing i have ever experienced... i hope no body ever does...

i wasnt allowed to look in a mirror, it was the most traumatizing thing in the world... but...

Nyomi Autumn Elise' Schneider,

didnt have one problem, and was released and went home with daddy after day 4, and came to visit mommy everyday



Everyday is my blessing, and i will get my body and life back to where i want it to be! I will make myself the best role model a little girl can have for a momma.
