I was having irregular contractions, but for the most part they were 5 minutes apart, and some were very painful. So my husband and I went to the hospital to get a morphine shot for pain relief. I thought they were going to send me home; I was only dilated to two centimeters. But the doctor said that we could stay the night if I wanted because the intensity of the contractions. So we decided to stay the night, and because of the morphine my contractions slowed down, and were 10 minutes apart. The nightshift nurse said I would probably be sent home in the morning.
I was completely shocked when I was awoken at 8:30AM by a doctor, a student doctor, and a nurse telling me to open my legs to do internal exams. First the Doctor did and then the student doctor did and said I was 6 centimeters dilated. They were so fast I had no Idea what the hell was going on!
Meanwhile the nurse was scolding me to calm down and relax, as the student doctor held out a large long stick with a hook on the end saying “so do I stick this in and turn it?” They were about to break my water and hadn’t explained it to me or given me an option or anything! Finally my husband who was as confused as I was said she hasn’t been told what is going on. So the nurse explained to me that they were going to break my water bag of water on my next contraction.
They broke my water, and standing by next was a doctor to give me an epidural. I could barely feel the epidural. I was attached to all these monitors and they were saying that I was having contractions but I couldn’t feel them at all. It was actually pretty nice because I was able to have a sleep for a few hours. I woke up at 11:30AM when they were doing another internal. They said I was 10cm and started getting everything ready for the pushing part. I did a few big pushes, but because of the position of the baby, they decided to wait and see if the baby would change positions. They had me get on my hands and knees to see if the baby would turn.
Finally around 3:00 we started pushing again and I had her at 3:30PM. I couldn’t feel a thing because of the epidural, and ended up with what they called a 3rd degree tare.
Now we are happily at home trying just trying to recover and settle down(:

Hi there,
I work for a television production company based in the UK . We are currently making a documentary for ITV1 exploring the issues surrounding pregnancy and eating disorders. The film will be a thoughtful and insightful look into this extremely sensitive subject.
Were in the research stage of our production and very keen to chat to women who are, or have been, pregnant whilst having an eating disorder.
If youre interested in having a chat or finding out more about our documentary, it would be really great to hear from you. All communication would be in complete confidence.

This comment might be too late, but with my third one the Dr. did a strip/sweep. He did ask me, and since I hadn't heard of it I agreed. I wish I wouldn't have. It caused me to get an awful bladder/kidney infection. He stripped it on a Tuesday, I had her Thursday. Most of the pain medication I was given was for the infection not the actual labor and contractions. I would never do that again. Just my experience. Hope all is well with you and your baby.

Thankyou! I think your right about my doctor treating this as a medical procedure instead of a natural beautiful experience. And yeah it's only a 35-40 minute car ride...only about 25 miles!! I am going to tell him no at my next visit...thanks again! And good luck! You could have your baby any day now!
clairegeo - Friday, 15 Feb
haha yeah me too! I really don't want to go that long- i'll be happy deliverin next week!
Your baby will be a pisces if u go near yr due date! so he or she will be realy caring and emotional and creative. Only negative with a piscean is you have to keep em grounded (can get lost in their own little world!).
I think yr baby will drop next week naturally.
A jacuzzi?!?! WOW gimmie sum o that! lol! is yr husband allowed to use it to?
husbands r allowed in the birthing pool at my hospital (as long as they wear swimming trunks haha!). sumhow i don't think adams up 4 it tho ;)
take care x

That sounds very familiar!! I hope they weren't too uncomfortable for you. I always found post-internal exam contractions to be a little more sharp than just my regular old BH contractions that kept me awake at night. They say every little bit helps! You're getting closer!

Here are a couple of sites I looked at and some info I copied from a list of natural induction methods..
http://www.childbirth.org/articles/strip.html
http://www.amazingpregnancy.com/pregnancy-articles/137.html
Stripping Membranes
There is a procedure your doctor or midwife can perform called 'stripping' or 'sweeping' your membranes. The healthcare professional will insert their finger(s) into your cervix and sweep
from side to side, pulling the membranes (bag of water) away from the mouth of the cervix and the lower uterus, and in the process stretching and irritating your cervix. Sometimes this will generate local production of prostaglandins and enough of the necessary hormones to start labor. Sometimes it takes 3 or 4 attempts to begin labor. Many women find this to be a very uncomfortable, if not painful, procedure. This is a medical intervention and should be taken as seriously as any medical induction method.

Hey sucks that he didnt tell you what he was doing..that was kind of decieving. Umm..i had a membrane sweep..last week and it didnt do much for me. I lost my mucus plug too. It really wont do much for you unless you were about to go into labor anyways.
EllaVanellasMomma - Thursday, 14 Feb
hey i'm not sure if i already sent you a message responding to your question. i was typing and my daughter ended up getting sick and throwing up, so i was a bit distracted. anyway...yea, it was stripping or sweeping the membranes.
mama217 - Thursday, 14 Feb
My first check I was .5cm dilated and my cervix was just starting to open. then the second check I was at 1 dilated and 50 percent effaced... Now Im at a 2 and 80 percent....
I hope something starts happening for you. Are you feeling any pressure, or pelvic pain..??
jamie1stTime - Thursday, 14 Feb
I don't know if that was a sweep or anything because I haven't had one but OUCH. Sounds uncomfortable whatever it was.
mama217 - Wednesday, 13 Feb
Hi, my last two checks have hurt too.. I had bleeding and some mucas stuff also.. I think it is there way of trying to get things going.... Iam so sore, cramping and my lower back hurts.. Iam dilated to two and 80 percent effaced....
