I'm havin some contractions that are about 20 minutes apart and lasting 3 minutes. It's been pretty consistent for almost 2 hours. Is this the beginning of labor? My doctor said if I had 6 in an hour to go to L&D but I only had 4 in an hour. I'm 32 weeks with twins.
Good morning ladies. Sorry I been ignoring yall but I have been so miserable the past days I'M STILL PREGNANT my contractions would be strong for hours and it looked like I was gonna have a baby then everything just stopped so I got sent home. they said I have to wait till my appointment Wednesday so I can talk to my doctor about the next step. I HATE THIS 😢😢😩
Has anyone tried evening primrose oil to start soften they cervix ? My sister did it and she had her baby this morning at 39 weeks
My baby was well known in the Labor and delivery section for 3 days! Because I made no progress dialating. They used cervidil that softens your cervix for 12 hours (no progress) They gave me a oral pill to help start contractions and dialate ( no progress), they inserted a balloon into my cervix to open it up and even gave me a dose of pitocin (this immediately, had me contracting loke crazy! (I ended up being 4cm dialated. After taking the balloon out they just used pitocin at the highest level....(i stayed at 4cm dialated). Next step since I made no progress was to restart pitocin again (still no progress) I then ended up having to go against my birth plan and have them break my water, as soon as they broke my water, I requested my epidural before pain got to unbearable. Soon they checked me and told me I was fully dialed but wasnt all the way effaced, and baby wasnt facing the right direction. AFTER 32 hours of labor, 2 hours of pushing, I'm not the one to give up but I know when to back down, when I've lost a battle. i had ended up getting a fever of 102 that they had to treat me for while pushing . I seen I had made no progress of pushing.....my baby was only 4 pounds and I still couldn't push him out. Doctors and nurses gave me 2 options.....c section or restart your pitocin to see if contractions will push him down more. It took me 2 seconds to answer, and I went against my birth plan a 2nd time..... C-section! They began to get me ready. And added more meds to numb me. I felt the tugging and pulling (normal). They finally got this little tiny baby out, even though they even had a hard time. Then I felt PAIN! I began to cry in agony. As they rushed to give me meds to put me to sleep. End result, due to breaking my water and waiting around i ended up having a infection, baby had a scrape on head from hitting my pelvis bone.... not only that, but caring a 4lbs baby was all my body could make....my pelvis was way too small for me to even push my 4lbs little boy out. But guess what hes 4 pounds, Full Term and healthy. !
Trigger. Lost baby Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
