With my first born 3 years ago I was admitted having contractions 2 mins apart but was only 1cm dilated it took about 4-5 hours alone to progress to 2-3cm. After 15 hours I got to 9cm I tried really hard but my sons heart rate dropped twice and the doctor made the call to rush me in for an emergency c section. He had ingested some méconium but besides that we were both okay & released 2 days later. Im currently 38.4 weeks with my baby girl. Last week I was in the hospital in prodromal labour but I wouldn’t dilate past 1 1/2cm.. I see my doctor tomorrow and im terrified that he’ll tell me I haven’t progressed 😓 I have no labour signs now besides lightning crotch.. The false labour contractions stopped after 3-4 days. If she doesn’t come on her own by my due date what’s the next step 😔 Will I be forced into another c section if I go over due???
