A little PSA...listen to your bodies ladies you know best. I went to the hospital with contractions a little under 5 minutes apart about 30 to 45 seconds apart. They hooked me up on monitors and checked me. I was 3 cm and 80% effaced. They told me that I wasn't progressed enough. Also I wasn't in "enough pain" come back when I couldn't talk. To come back in 2 hours to get rechecked. I started feeling sick just like what happened with my 1st. I got up to get dressed and my water broke. From my water breaking to my daughter coming was a little under 45 minutes. They had to keep calling in Drs because she was coming so fast. So my advice is you know your body and stick up for yourself.
Yes!!! The "come back when you can't talk" advice isn't so great. People tolerate pain differently...I was dilated to a 9, shaking in pain yet still joking with the nurses. You know your body the best!
@mississippi.queen They know a lot and I appreciate all their help. This is the 2nd time where they didn't believe me. They were talking pain meds and pushing an epidural when I said I felt tons of pressure. Once they finally checked my daughter came less than 30 minutes later. My dr got there just as I was pushing.
Yeah, I know the feeling. They want to act like they know everything. 🙄
I hate that they always wanna send one home till one is in the worst pain. 🙄 congratulations on your baby girl.
When I lay down my contractions are 10 minutes apart but when I'm up and moving they come faster. I'm not understanding.

My triplets were born via emergency c-section.... on Monday I had an appt with my ob at 6pm and he said I was still 2cm dilated, then I went home and was having servere pain that came and go and would wake me up from sleep, they were coming from 2 to 17 min apart, and I couldn't walk, and I had an extreme urge to pee, and that was new, so my mom came and took me to the hospital, and they hooked me and the babies up to the monitors and I wasn't contracting as much as I had thought, come to fi...
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

“I stuff my turkey with my water and cheese and stuff”
Contractions are 9 minutes apart and painful... On way to hospital my dr already called said to go straight to registration, so they can check me in then they will take me to maternity... Getting anxious..
@techie_grrl That's me too. I'm lucky to have a very high pain tolerance. Even the Drs said I wouldn't guess you had just gone through all that. They couldn't believe the only thing I took once was some Ibuprofen.
