My nightmare at L&D
So at 37 weeks yesterday, I had my membranes stripped. My doctor is inducing me at 39 for hypertension and wanted to give me the chance to go into labor on my own beforehand. I got stripped at around noon.
By 5 I was having contractions 3 min apart and decided to go have it checked out. I progressed from being 3cm 70% at my appointment earlier to 4cm 90%!
I was admitted and told I was having a baby that night!! I was so nervous and excited!
It took 2 different nurses and 4 sticks to get an IV going.
After 7 hours of having contractions 2-3 min apart, they stopped!
They monitored me until around 2am, I started to get frustrated because they were no longer coming consistently.
They decided to let me go home.
My mom booked a last min flight out here last night and guess what, I’m at home babyless.
I’m completely heartbroken.
