Well i had my baby girl march 18th/2008, was suppose to be due march 11/2008, but she didnt come willingly, i had to be induced, with the strip put inside. i went in on tuesday march 18th to be induced at 8 am. it didnt take right away, they kept me for an hour and sent me home and told me to come back if i had 6 contraction in less then 10 minutes, well i did at 11 am. i went back to the hospital. they put me on the monitor and i was havin contractions 2 minutes apart, but not as strong, but they were, it was all i mean mostly back labour i had.. they checked me, and i was 1 cm dialated. i was complained in the nurse that i felt pullin down there. they checked me, and the cervidil fell out, so i then went to walk around the hospital for a bit, waiting for it to get worse. i needed a drink so i told my sister and my boyfriend i was going back to the labour and delivery room and my sister was getting my cup of water and my water broke. thank god i was in the room. haha. after that contractions got worse. and they wanted to test me to make sure it was my water. because it wasnt a gush it was dribble and it was green. she pooped inside me. they wanted to check me again i was still 1 cm and like 1 pm. and then i waiting around in pain from all the back labour, it was horrible i couldnt sit or anything. so i had to do a slow dance thing to help. they checked me again around 4-5 pm, and i was 4 cm dialated. i was so happy, thats mean i could get some pain relief. i tryed the laughing gas. and that did nothing for me, i couldnt breath, so i need the air mask, then they told me i could have the epidural, but we had to wait a bit of the dr to come and do it. i will tell you what a rude as bitch that gave me the epidural. it took them 6 trys with the wrong needle.(to small) to give me the epidural, and finally about an hour or half hour they got it in. and then they checked me again and i was 10 cm dialated, but i wasnt aloud to push and had to wait for the doctor another 2-3 hours. and pushed for little less then an hour. i had her at 9 pm that night.

They dont classify labour here until you are 4cm dilated. so i was lucky.. after having her, i bled alot, pph, they had to give me the shot in the leg with that needle twice, plus 3-4 other medications for it.

i was fine after a few hours laying in my own blood etc, i was able to get up and the next morning they to the iv off with the meds and gave me another one with the need. i was released the next day at 5 pm the next day. bleeding was good. not heavy, just really light. i went back to the doctors 3 days later because i had a bad odour and they prescribe me a medication, well then that went away, 3 weeks post partum, april the 9th i had heavy bleeding again., the doctor gave me another medication thinkin its an infection. that didnt do nothing, didnt help the bleedin lessen, i then went back to the doctors and 2 other doctors, figured it was a little weird, that the bleedin hasnt stop and its getting worse., they said the only way they are gonna rule out if its an infection or whatever they would try and rush and ultrasound. so i had the internal and regular ultrasound, only to be told, i have to wait for a week for results. well screw that. i was passin large blood clots, with gushes of blood fillin a bad in less then a hour, the first time with with 2 large blood clots and fillin a pad in 10 minutes. so it continue and continue, i couldnt go anywhere, do anything, i went up to emergency for the bleeding, just to be turned down, by to nurses that no nothing, all they said it was normal. and i told them, it wasnt and the first doctor said its not at 3 weeks postpartum. so anyway, i went home. the next day the doctor that i seen before, said they would get the results faxed up, so they did that. and they found that my uterus/cervix was thick. they had to consult a better doctor. a top gyno doc, so i had to wait down at the clinic until the one doctor was availible to call back the doctor. and my doctor is on holiday, she a top gyno to. so they got ahold of the doctor, and he wanted me at the hospital right away, well what they didnt tell me was not to eat. and stuff. so i went up at 12 pm on april 16th, for a d&c they couldnt do it until later that night because i ate. so i had to wait till 8 pm for the D&c to be done, They found a peice of placenta still inside me. which was good that they caught because i could of bled to death from it. And im still thinking about putting a complaint in about the nurses at the hospital that night. its not like i hang in emergency for nothing. i had the d&c, i feel way better now, and im not to sure if i wanna see the same doctor as i was seeing for my baby girl. because they are suppose to make sure its all out, but i dont think they did, and im not sure if want any more kids after this, i didnt get to enjoy the first month of having my doctor because this crap. it was a retained placenta that i had. and it was secondary postpartum hemmroage that i had....

OMG! Your labor and delivery sounded like a nightmare! that sucks that they treated you so bad. I would make a complaint at the hospital. That is really bad!! I'm sorry!


lil-ole-me - Wednesday, 11 June
Really? Oh, I was beginning to think that I was the only one... Have you seen a doctor? What have they told you? I've been given ointment, Nifedipine, to try and relax the muscle, but it hasn't helped at all, and it gives me awful headaches. I'm being told that there isn't anything left to do other than surgery... It's so PAINFUL, and so humiliating and painful to have looked at! I just want to cry thinking about it - but something has got to be done, I cry every morning when I go to the bathroom - and it has been 3 months since I delivered! I hope that it isn't quite as bad for you...

Hospitals suck, sometimes you get really cool nurses and other times you get bitches straight from hell it seems. You would think they would be nice to us seeing how we are in a lot of pain and so vulnerable. That's not right what they did to you. Why wouldn't they let you go to the bathroom? You couldn't get up and go by yourself? My nurse didn't listen to me when I asked not to be induced she was like ok because you are already progressing on your own like she was agreeing with me, well guess what I saw on my I.V AFTER I had him it said pictocin on it! I couldn't believe it, but by that point I was too tired to make a fuss ya know? Oh and I told them I would be breastfeeding and they didn't bring him to me they gave him a bottle and when I tried to breastfeed he wouldn't latch he just wanted the bottle instead!! UGh now I am mad all over again! It took us a long time to get the hang of breastfeeding and I blame part of it on them! But anyway, I just wanted to share my story to let you know not all of us have great experiences like your sis did. Oh well makes us stronger and if you ever have another one you know what to watch for.

The fanny problems are hemorrhoids and fissures... :(


momofjs - Monday, 9 June
yes thats the proper name for it. my baby is 3months as of saturday. i am sure your baby is fine. if it helps my dr told me to do exercise stretches to the side that seems a little shorter.

how does she do when you put her on her stomach mine only picks her head up enough to move it side to side but everything else she does like laugh grab toys hold her bottle it is just that neck thing that worries me


jessicadarling - Monday, 9 June
 She has so much hair! Mine is a baldy.

Awwww, your daughter is sooooo Prettyful : To post pics....you upload your pics to photobucket.com. you have to set up a free account if you don't have one already. then you resize it to the 320 size (there's an icon to click on to resize) then you just copy/paste the html code in the comment box . Hope you and Faith are well and happy : Take care ((((hugs)))))


momofjs - Sunday, 8 June
my daughter does the same thing with her head i am getting really worried that it may be wry-neck syndrome


momoffive - Sunday, 8 June
When Sam sits up he wobbles in all directions. I am sure she's fine but that's what pediatricians are for. You can always just ask them to check her out for reasurance. Then you have a definitive answer.

DUring pregnancy... yess why?


sunny3 - Thursday, 5 June
WIC is women infants and children... a state funded program that pays for certain food and baby formula.

nina - Wednesday, 4 June
Just read the your story - I have been given the 2nd lot of tablets to clear a possible infection. My Doctor examined me yesterday & said that my cervix was open slightly which is a sign that my body is trying to get rid of what is left inside. He thinks that because I look healthy it isn't a large amount retained. My body should naturally re-absorb it. But I will bleed for longer than normal. ...Failing this he advised that I will need a vacuation which sounds terrible. I had a c/section and this is not good as it could end up reopening my internal incision!

So, basically he is sure that what is left is small as the midwives check the removed placenta.

My womb should have shrunk by now but hasn't and it is painful..and I hate bleeding for so long. As I said I want to swim. Plus, I want sex!! Grrrr :o(
xx


sunny3 - Wednesday, 4 June
thats what happened with my baby too. she cant stand the good start... she was on similac too. the doctor is swtching us to enfimil tho b.c WIC can distribute that... so hopefully she does well on that


nina - Wednesday, 4 June
thanks - I really want to start swimming with my little girl. But not with a pad in!! Was just reading some of your msgs (hope you don't mind). Do you have some retained placenta???


daisymum2be - Wednesday, 4 June

njdevchick - Sunday, 1 June
When I was on birth control pills it did make my period lighter and shorter and my cramps were less strong as well.


breezee - Friday, 30 May
Thanks, I am going to call, whatever it is can't be normal, wish me luck.
You're daughter is adorable by the way, she's got a ton of hair like my little girl!!


mrt2153 - Friday, 30 May
Wow--that all sounds pretty awful. I did not have a D&C, I bled a lot and passed some HUGE clots in the ER, but they let me go home. I saw the dr. the next day and she did an ultrasound and said it all looked clear. I'm hoping she's right, but I'm having a lot of trouble with my milk supply, so I'm suspicious that something might be left in there. If so, I dread the day it decides to come out! My bleeding was pretty much under control though within a few days. I still wonder if maybe I should have had the D&C. I don't know about you, but the whole experience scared the heck out of me! I went from having very little post-partum bleeding to passing huge clots and soaking a pad an hour or more in about 2 hours. The nurses and doctors were very nice, but didn't seem very concerned. It was all very stressful and traumatic. Your baby is adorable though!
