I looked up and I said to one of these NICU nurses, I said, she's throwing up a lot.

Like, is that normal?

And she came over and looked at it and she goes, you have, you had polyhydramnius, right?

I saw on your chart.

And I was like, yeah.

And she was like, I think we need to take the baby to get looked at.

And then they came, someone came to take her to the NICU, another hour goes by. And they say, okay, mom, okay, dad, we're going to take you down to the NICU now to see baby. I'm like, okay, so they get me in a wheelchair. And they take me to the NICU. At this point, I'm two hours postpartum. I have no idea what they're doing to the baby. Why?

No clue. They park me at the NICU and the nurse that parked my wheelchair looked at one of the

other nurses and said, they don't know. And the room kind of went silent.

So thank you for having me today.

We're very happy to have you, Liz.

You're one of the funniest accounts on Instagram

in this community. And the irony is you have a very intense birth story to share. But why don't
