April Munchkins 2013- enjoying our wonderful babies!

[girlinyork]

Candyapple, I lost mine at 7+4 and I was in hospital with blood loss and such. It was awful but I have to keep reminding myself the odds of it happening all over again are minuscule and I'm just not that unlucky. I bet it'll be fine

Girls, im really really anxious about my scan on friday morning, Because this is the point we lost our baby in may im really scared we'll be told its gone wrong again... its hard to decide if its gut feeling or its just me feeling low and scared.... I feel stupid but im terrified i have to go through all the heavy bleeding,the huge amounts of clotting and agony i went through, i had to stay in hospital from my blood loss and i was exhausted. i HATE the thought of being put through that again, and i refuse a d&c.

:(

I've been there many times too and I completely understand your fear. It is very hard to not be anxious. At least for me, it seems like if I DON'T let myself be anxious and worried, then it makes it harder if something DOES go wrong. (kind of like protecting myself a bit, I guess) Praying all is well for you!!!

Phew! I'm offline for a day, and come back to 100's of posts. Welcome all new ladies! Jcombs, I'm so glad you finally have an answer, and it has been lovely chatting with you, so stick around and we can continue to share these experiences. Hope you are still feeling positive! Oh my goodness, spent all last night catching up on 'the midvives' BBC 2 and cried by eyes out all the way through! Am sooooooo glad DH is away LOL. I would never have gotton away with that if he was here.

QUICK QUESTION: Has anyone had precipitous (very fast labour)? I worried because my fourth was born before arrival at hosp. I delived 30mins from first contraction, and there was no other warning sign. My second and third were only an hour also. Now I doubt I'll get a home birth as they seem funny becaus it's no.5...risk of bleeding they say...Hmmmm don't want to scare my poor children half to death or deliver in Tesco lol. Anyway just venting my concerns...I know it's a bit early to thinking about this lol xxx

mamaofthree -- Wow! What a terrible and awesome problem to have all at once. Unfortunately (fortunately), I can't help you. I was induced with dd and even jacked up on pitocin, I was in active labor for 10 hours (which I didn't think was too bad... um, in retrospect ). But that was after being in false/prodromal labor for 16 days! Not looking forward to that part!

 

[mamaofthree]

Littlespy: Fingers crossed for a moderate length labour for you this time hun....moving along but not too speedy. Well, it's crazy because everyone thinks it must be amazing, but it was soooooo intense& incredibly painful. There is also the fear that you may be alone when it happens, and I was abit scared that I wasn't doing things righ t. My other half was shouting 'no don't push' lol, and the operator on 999 was like 'ummmm well she has to'! hahahahahaha. I would have loved to have sen his face, but was bent over and concentrating lol. Luckily i was in for bloods with my third, and my second my waters went first and wne tin straaight away. I just know they are gonna suggest induction, but not keen on that!xx

 

[mamaofthree]

BTW... 2nd babies are usually much faster hun. I doubt you'll have as much latent labour. My first labour ws 6hours but spend days in latent labour. xxx

 

[ukgirl23]

nooo second babies are not faster!! my first baby was 23 hours and my second was 71 hours!! lol

 

[girlinyork]

Ukgirl, was your second back to back?

Everyone I know has had faster second labours unless the baby has been back to back

Agreed, alot of women find their second faster, but there are always exceptions to the rule, and labour is an unpredictable thing! A few friend of mine have had horrendous labours with back to back babies even on a fourth!I would say though if t's a straight forward labour you may experience a quicker, calmer, more controlled experience. fx'd anyway xxx
