Breakdown
Well ladies heres my breakdown. I had 2 appointments this morning. My first was a growth scan and monitoring. The scan went great estimated weight 6 pounds 8 ounces head way far down so I could not get a good 3D. Next was the monitoring my contractions were 3 mins apart and pretty intense but I have been ignoring because everytime I go in im sent home. Dr comes in and says we should check your cervix contractions have been persistent for about 40mins. Dr checks and says im 3cm and 80% effaced. She says i could go home and come back when they are 2mins apart. I start to ask questions like I was told to come in when they are 5mins apart so I can get antibiotics so what if i go home and miss the window? She looked like she had no idea what to do. She prints me out a report and sends me off to my midwife upstairs (i had an appt scheduled with her anyways) to decide what to do about the antibiotics situation. To triage i was sent. Contractions were 3mins apart still so I was told to walk for 2 hours then come back. I walk and walk at this point contractions are so bad my legs start giving out, i cant talk and i have to stop and grab the wall. 2 hours pass i go back up to triage they check my cervix dont even bother to look at my contractions or monitor me again. Still at 3cm. The triage dr then says if you were in active labor you would dilate 1cm an hour so you should be at 6cm but your not. (Took me 15 hours to dilate to 10cm with my daughter). Then she says come in when your contractions are 5 mins apart and really strong. They were already 3mins apart but she wouldnt put me back on the monitor to see if they got vloser than that. She said it usually takes a while for labor to start with your first baby (this is my second child). Im sitting here and contractions are coming fast and hard and im so scared ill have the baby at home. Its only been 2 hours since i left but ive just been a nonstop breakdown cry I dont know what to do im so confused and scared.
