I understand pregnancy can be the most miserable time of your life but I don't understand why some mothers are trying to self induce before their baby is truly ready to join this world... here I am 33 weeks and I'm STRUGGLING to carry my baby just a few weeks more. My heart is breaking at the possibility of meeting him way too soon. If you're reading this and considering trying to induce yourself, please don't... baby still has SO much more development to do.
@j.echo, @mrscarter27 @kimberlyyyy @hernandezmommy @cutieanimal Yesterday my issues had formed to real labor, i went to my dr and was checked. i was dilated to a 1 and 60% effaced, sent to OB to be monitored and everything... within an hour i was checked again and i was a 2 and 90% effaced. I was put on the mag drip to stop contractions. I also have a 10 mth old that is here at home. i had a massive anxiety attack in the hospital, i couldn't stay. :'( After the meds, contractions had stopped and there was no progression. I'm on strict bed rest.
Amen. Honestly, after being monitored twice in 24 hours for early contractions, it bothers me so much to see moms at 33 or 34 weeks trying to induce labor.
agreed. :/ I use to say I wanted my baby out during my whole pregnancy cause I wanted to hold him and then I felt like the guiltiest worlds worst mother when my son was born prematurely at 34 weeks. I'm having my second baby now and I'm high risk for preterm labor and I get so jealous when moms are 30+ weeks saying they can't wait to not be pregnant anymore and take this baby out cause they can't do it anymore when I just wish I could make it their .. many don't realise the milestone they mark by making it to full term its taking for granted now
honestly I'm on your side. i know someone who had her first early and she got lucky that the baby was healthy and fine. but just because that happened she became a queen know it all and tried to self induce early because she"knew" baby would be perfectly healthy. .. like seriously. why would you risk your baby being sick in the hospital because of yiu being impatient. you have to be a mother now and do what's best for the baby not for you
btw, i do have a 34 wker myself and am thankful only 2 weeks in NICU was all she needed
