So im laying here in labor and i have to share my experience. Ive had 3 "false alarms' and got sent back home the last time being this past saturday. I came in because i had been feeling some leakibg but each time i was told it was nothig. So, saturday comes along and again, i got up and felt a gush of water. Yes it was clear so here i come in. My ob was on she checked me and the fluid and said no its negative. So as i got up to change, i noticed some green fluid on the pad i was wearing. I asked the nurse if it was meconium since im familiar w it due to prior pregnancy. She said she thinks it definately is but the dr never checked it. At 430am sunday i woke up to a puddle of liquid on my bed. I got up, peed and ent back to bed. Becaue i had been sent home all thsoe times and i felt like NO ONE was liste ing to me, i went back to bed. I stayed home all day and kept feeling leaking. I was going to go to the pet store to get ph strips to see if theyd turn blue then id know its my water that broke. My MIL who usually neevr says anytbing decides to comment and say im probably just peeing on myself and i need to stop trying to force the baby out shell come when shes ready and im.just wesring myself out. She pissed me on beuond belief and i didnt go. My appt today at 1045 again, green stuff on my pad. Im checked and yes my wayer is broken and yes its meconium so im sent directly to the hospital. I cant help bit cry out of anger at myself and everyone around me who i felt have been doubting me. and my ob didnt even check the meconium she still ahd the nerve to aay its probanly my.mucus plug and to just go to the hospital so they can start me on antibiotics. As we leave my MIL asks what happend and i was very short and just said my water broke im going to the hospital. Again her comment 'you probably just have a UTI."i wanted to just slam on the brakes as hard as i could! Anyway, the nurde thats starting my iv right away says 'oh no honey theres no need to test that thats definately meconium'! I balled my eyes out as i feel angry and guilty for not following my instinct and letting people cpnvinxe me that im wrong. now here i am in labor hoping she doesnt wat her poo or get an infection. My purpose for this is so you ladies dont doubt yourselvs the way i did. I knew what was goibg on w my body yet everyone just brushed it off and now mt baby has been in her poo since saturday and i just lay here hopig for the best!please, if you all feel somethibg is not right, go with that instinct and be pushy if needed you are yours and your babies advocate no one else is going to speak for you!i just pray this labor speeda up ao i can meet my baby!good luck to all you mamas!
