An Omaha couple finds out they’re pregnant and then have the baby in just 48 hours. Doctors had to perform an emergency c-section to save mom and child.Peyton Stover, 23, thought she was just feeling the effects of her new job. “I’m a first-year teacher. I just thought it was normal to be tired all the time,” Stover said. Then her legs started to swell and after her mom pushed her to go to the doctor, Stover heard the news she never expected. “They ran the test again she said, ‘It’s definitely positive. We’re going to do an ultrasound,'” Stover said. “She looked right at the screen and said, ‘You’re definitely pregnant.'”But Stover was not OK. Her family and boyfriend, Travis Koesters, rushed to her side. “My kidneys weren’t performing up to what they should. My liver wasn’t working properly,” Stover said. Her situation grew dire and her doctors had to move fast”They said she needs to be admitted and then she had the baby that night,” Koesters said. “They’re like you’re having a baby in 15 minutes,” Stover said. Stover had an emergency cesarean surgery and Kash was born 10 weeks early at just over four pounds.Stover knows now she had a life-threatening case of preeclampsia which is mainly high blood pressure during pregnancy.”I had severely high blood pressure which is very scary,” Stover said. “If I wouldn’t have came in when I did I probably wouldn’t have made it through the weekend.”Stover stayed at Methodist Women’s Hospital for a week just a couple of floors up from Kash. “We were coming down, looking at him, making sure he was good and then going back up,” Koesters said. Both were hoping for kids in the future but are now settling into being new parents practically overnight. “Now that I’ve actually held him, fed him and things like that it’s real. He’s actually mine,” Koesters said. Stover is now listening to her body. “I don’t really like going to the doctor. I try to let things resolve on its own and now I’ve learned you can’t necessarily do that,” Stover said. Kash’s parents said he’s gaining weight and doing well but there’s no word yet when they’ll be able to bring him home.Another surprise both Kash and his mom share the same birthday!
