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. !
Ok guys labor story: My water broke about 10:30 last night. I put on a pad and monitored the leaking for an hour and about 12 I went to the hospital. I was admitted an hour later and they put my IV in and and took blood all that good stuff lol. By this I was having some mild contractions. Around 4 they started my pitocin and the contractions got really strong and were coming about 2 mins apart I asked for pain meds and the nurse put something in my IV that made me woozy it worked for about 45 mins then the contractions became unbearable. I asked for an epidural I got it about 5:30 but I was still only 1 1/2 cm so my dr made fun of me lol an hour later I was sleep lol I woke up about 11:30 bc my epidural was wearing off I was feeling a lot of pressure from the contractions I. fought through it until I felt like I was being ripped apart and I was BEGGING for another dose before they gave it to me the nurse checked me and I was 7cms and the contractions were BRUTAL lol I got another dose of the epidural and the nurse turned me on my side and went to check on another patient 5 mins later I told my mom and bf go get the nurse bc I had to to push and they kept telling me no bc I was only 7 and I was screaming GO GET THE NURSE HE'S COMING NOW! she came back checked BAM 10cms lol I literally went from 7 to 10 in 5 mins and I felt every bit of it. They started me pushing my dr came in and I pushed for 30 mins and I watched it in a mirror the whole time it was beautiful the after his head and shoulders came out I got to pull him out myself 😍 Luckily for me by the third push the epidural kicked back in and I didn't feel the last 15 mins of pushing lol. My baby came out hungry and looking for a boob lol
Checked in at 4am february 1st.. started my pitocin drip at 5. I was 3cm dilated when i checked in. Things were progressing pretty slowly until my doctor broke my water at 7 am. I got my epidural done when i was 7 cm dilated, my nurse came in to check me and said baby was in plus 1 station. From there it went rather quickly, once my cervix was complete, she did practice pushes with me, i did 3 practice pushes with a few contractions and she said not to practice push anymore because baby was crowning already. She went and got my doctor, 2 real pushes later and baby was out ! I have 2 tears, 6 stitches, and ones a 2nd degree. We got released the next day ! So glad to be home but its very stressful that my daughter isnt adjusting well. Jeremiah wayne havis, born at 10:56 a.m. february 1st, weighing 6 pounds 1 ounce at birth, 19 1/2 inches long. When we checked out he was 5 pounds 14 ounces. Born at 38 weeks 6 days!
!!!!LABOR STORY!!!! Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions. The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-15 mins, but the new City Target had opened across the st from my MiL house in Fenway, (go Red Sox! ⚾ ) and I had to coupon (it is a big coupon week!) so, I went to Target and couponed, hurled over in pain every 10 minutes, coupons in hand 😂😂😢 Went home, contractions were really intense and came every 3-4mins, so around 3am I called the hospital again and said I'm having really bad pains, and I can barely walk. They take my breath away and I think I'm in labor. Again, she said I would be screaming and unable to be so "chatty" if I was in labor, and to stay home and go to sleep. Obviously I couldn't sleep with these killer contractions every 2-3 mins now! Monday morning, July 27 contractions were now every 1-2 minutes, intense like someone was rilling out my insides, I tried rocking on the glider in the nursery, tried soaking in the bathtub, but I was in tears from the pain and from lack of sleep for two nights now, so I told hubby if these aren't labor pains I'm not waiting until I'm actually in labor. Let's to go the hospital and get the Epidural (my plan was to go natural) and he's like ok let's go. Arrived at the hospital around 10:15, got admitted, sat around moaning while the nurses told me relax, you'll catch your breath, we will get you a room in a minute. Meanwhile I'm in a wheelchair doubled over barely able to breathe. I thought I was going to pass out from the pain! Got into a room, they listened to baby's heartbeat, and midwife came in to check for dilation. "Oh my god I don't even feel much cervix. You're 9cm dilated honey let's go push!" I almost passed out at that point! I told her I can't do this it hurts soooo bad. But we got into a room, I pushed for the longest ten minutes of my life and out he came! I tore and got stitches, but not from end to end thank god. Still sore and uterus is cramping but everything else is going well. Breastfeeding is so hard! We will get there though! Third night of no sleep so don't mind the bags under my eyes hahaha And yes I am going to hunt down that darn midwife who told me to stay at home cuz I was fine and not in labor! Smh I had a CVS coupon trip planned for yesterday, but I'll take Ezra any day! So glad I pulled through with my plan though. It feels so empowering! Not saying next time I'd do it again 😂😂😂
Has anyone had to go in for not being able to breathe..i know it's probably just the baby pushing on me but I literally can't catch my breath at all making me break out in a huge rash from stressing out and I'm on fire.. Or will they be able to do anything.
