Hi everyone!!! Yes I had my baby!! I haven't had a chance to come online in awhile- Baby Stephen has been keeping me very very very very very busy!!!!! All worth it though!

Well here is how it went for me.
Tue. Night/wed. Morning - Contractions 7min apart...Never got any closer and by wed. afternoon contractions completely stopped.
Then I lost a blood clot wed. afternoon so DH and I went to the hospital to check on LO and everything looked fine, so I was sent home. Only 1cm dilated.

Wed. night/thur morning- Contractions started again (ALL IN MY BACK!!)at around 1am and they went from 10min apart to 7, to 5, to 4. I woke up DH and we made a dash to the hospital. The Same nurses were there from when I went earlier that day, lol so they were shocked to see me back.
They checked me and I was at 4cm so they admitted me into the hospital. From 4am to 1pm they checked me every so often and I went from 4cm to 7cm to 8cm to 10cm by 1pm. All i used was heat packs , no meds!!
But once I hit 10cm and we started pushing my water broke all over the nurses face, thats when the pain in my back became UNBEARABLE!!! I was begging for something but it was too late for an epi. So they gave my an IV of something that lasted maybe an hour. Once that wore off I begged for something else and I can't remember the correct name of it but i believe it was a spinal block. It was just a one time shot in my back that lasts for about 2hrs. It was GREAT!!!!!!!! Once the shot took effect we started pushing again.
I had to keep asking the nurses if I was pushing because I felt absolutly nothing!!! I didn't even feel baby stephen come out because I was so numb, It was great!! and shortly after birth I was able to get up and move around.
I'm so happy I didnt have to do an epi.
As for my fibroids they had ZERO effect on my labor!!!!! they were a non-issue. Doctors/nurses didn't even mention it.
So my fibroids were only a pain during 2nd trimester and that was it.

 

[naliaka hope]

Congrats again to Army wife

Any one here

Update :had the steroid injections over the weekend tbh they were not htat bad i only felt a bit sore after that ,with that done am sure i can for babs

How is every one else doing?
Ready or not?how are you feeling?

I tend to come here at odd hours due to different time zones but hope to get some of you here on line
Till then

 

[lauren10]

Army I am just reading your post now...congratulations!!! sounds like you had some horrible back labor...but at least they got the spinal in for the hardest part! A spinal and epi are exactly the same except that the spinal doesn't stay in like the epi...but they do the same thing and both are soooo great!

Nali you're getting close now! Feeling good?

 

[naliaka hope]

[lauren10]

Hi nali honey, so glad things are going well! All is good with me, no exciting news really! Xxx

 

[readyORnot]

Hi again Naliaka

I'm okay, not much to report until my next scan next week! Glad you haven't too much to worry about!
Do you have a date yet for your C-section?

 

[lauren10]

Hi girls,
So last night I was having contractions about 6 mins apart for 45 mins...and they were more uncomfortable than the usual BH. So I had 3 glasses of water, walked around a bit, and got them to stop...and today is ok. I'm wondering if this maybe was caused by the roid? because i had most of the pain on my left side where I think the roid is. Anyone experience that this early on? (28 weeks)

Thanks!!

 

[readyORnot]

I've been having full-blown contractions since 20 weeks. Been in hospital twice. Pain killers taken consistently for several days tends to calm it down so that I'm just getting mild or partial contractions rather than strong painful ones 5-10 minutes apart. But every week or so it starts up again so I'm being monitored just in case it gets bad again. They think it is the fibroids causing mine and also I have noticed that stress is a trigger for me.

 

[lauren10]

Oh wow...and it's not dilating you at all? I heard roids can cause early contractions...so maybe that is what it was for me too. I'll have to keep a close eye on it. Are they worried about premature labor? were you instructed to take it easy/stay home?

 

[readyORnot]

at first they didn't even believe me that i was having contractions until they saw it for themselves on the tocograph machine. They were really unsupportive so i did my own research online. But ultimately dehydration and overdoing it are triggers so rest and getting enough fluids are my key goals, and taking it slowly.
There were some cervical changes the first time they admitted me but nothing since. They check at each scan which is every 4 weeks.

Hey gals hoping all of you here are dong great

Am back after a long break ...mentionning about contractions i had just gone to the docters for the 34 week check and they started from nowhere I was so scared that i thought i was going straight into labour
The doctor/consultant ob/gyn was there with me she was trying to measure at what rate i was having them then she prescribed some medication for to stop them and was put on complete bed rest

It hasnt been easy i guess she said the fibroid is suspect but also UTIs could end up causing contractions so was also put on anti biotics just incase something was wrong down there

I still have the mild ones,am also told that she wouldnt want me to go past 37 weeks given the history i lost my( first gal )
So at the 35 week had a scan the baby is doing fine its only the contraction but am also booked in hospital

I may have her sooner than later ave been told to have a fetal movement monitor once theres decresed movement i should go right in ...so i do not have an exact date for the section but probably from the 7th of May ...I will keep you gals updated ....when am not in alot f discomfort


All the best to us all...you are great inspiration to so many who read and are not members of this group keep up ..keep on...
