Went to L&D last night when i got off due to back pain & stomach pain..They checked my urine,it came back good then put me on the monitor...My doctor decided she wanted me to stay..Had to get an iv due to dehydration and pain...Was instantly knocked out sleep..Nurse came in this morning had to go downstairs to get an ultrasound..After that went back to room and back to the iv and monitor i go..My doctor came and checked my cervix😢 still haven't dilated any..My contractions were 7-8 mins..Ultrasound came back great..Contractions slowed down and got discharged after that..Been home in bed sleep..Woke up body feeling very weak and just tired..Why is baby boy being so stubborn? and Is it hard to dilate with your first child??
I have had 3 children and with my first it was vaginal delivery and I wouldn't dilate on my own. not even to a full 1. they induced me at 38 weeks because the cord was wrapped twice and causing problems and I was in hard labor for 15 hours ended up getting an epidural and at that point I finally started to dilate they ended up giving me a stage 4 episiotomy(cut all the way from vagina to butt) because I was finally dilated to a 10 but my body wasn't working right and he had to help baby out with clamps and all. and I had c section with my last 2 due to health issues and also my body would have hard consistent contractions but I never dilated. delivered at 38 weeks with all 3 and the last 2 never dilated at all but had all the signs of labor and all. kinda crazy my body just didn't wanna work right
