Anyone from Virginia?

Yeah the csection wasn't bad though surprisingly. The labor was the bad part. LOL! I'm debating whether to just get a scheduled csection with the next or trying for a VBAC. The thought of pushing a giant watermelon out my daisy doesn't sound too appealing though.

I'm going to be asking for the epidural as soon as I get in there!

I heard good things about that hospital. I actually go into their care starting Tuesday morning (just got on Tricare) and I have my first appointment on Tuesday.

Do you know the earliest they do inductions? My old doctor wanted an induction at 37 weeks.

 

[cleckner04]

They induced me 3 days after my due date but only because I started suffering from hypertension and they didn't want me to go much longer. My feet were swollen to an unreal size. I'm thankful I went in when I did because Emma probably would have died if I hadn't because her heart rate kept dropping with my high blood pressure. Before that they said I could go two weeks over but no more than that. So at the most, you'd be looking at two weeks over your due date if you don't go into labor naturally. Which isn't bad. I've seen girls on this site three weeks overdue Good luck hun!!

Thank you! My old doctor is just worried about the baby being too big (they can't tell if I'm pre-diabetic or if I have GD). 37/38 weeks, they think the baby would be 9lbs and 10lbs by 40 weeks. So I don't know if that makes me higher risk and if they would move me to Riverside?

There's a chance we might see each other! My first appointment with them is this Tuesday and I'm supposed to be seen every two weeks now, so that puts it right on that week.

[Eskimobabys]

Exactly! Oh, now I'm scared about going there. ...

I hate to tell you but every nurse I had there was basically kids that didn't know what the hell they were doing. They stuck me in the hand literally ten times just trying to take my blood. I had a HORRIBLE experience at Langley. I don't know what all the hype is all about but I would have paid to go to a real hospital if I knew it would be the way it was. I'm not trying to scare anyone but I'm just telling my own experience. I know a few other girls who loved it there but I must've been unlucky because it was awful for me. The nurses were all rude besides two nice ones. The rest acted like they just didn't want to be there. Granted I was there for a really long time. There were about six other women that came in after me and had their babies way before I ever did. So maybe they were just sick of me.
