...my ::NOT:: labor story...

4:15 am... I half awake get myself together and finish up a few things around the house.

5:00 am... I get admitted. 

5:30 am... I'm fully hooked up to IV's and have had my lady bits awkwardly shaven. 

7:45 am... ultrasound... the doctor says "I think the baby is head down, I'm going to get a second opinion."

8:00 am... (OR ready to go...) the second doctor agrees. Baby has flipped and is head down... so they do a cervical check, I'm a fingertip dilated. I'm not so sure what the doctor was reaching for up there, but I really hope she found it.

8:30 am... IV's out and discharged.

9:00 am... breakfast at Cracker Barrel


I'm all scheduled for an induction on Wednesday of next week because my blood pressure was doing wonky things and they didn't like that at all. Personally, I think it may have been the idea that I was about to have surgery. I'm supposed to cut out nearly all the sodium I can from my diet and only drink water or fruit juice until then. I go on Friday for another appointment in the office and probably again on Monday. I've literally spent all day since getting home in bed pouting and sleeping. It kind of feels like someone cancelled Christmas.

  • I'm sorry!  I can't imagine what that feels like.  At least, this way, you may be able to avoid the surgery and get a chance to try to deliver your LO!

  • Boo!! :-( I wanted to meet baby! I guess it's better that baby gets to cook longer!
  • The doctor was looking for reasons to induce me today, she felt bad. Everything, except my blood pressure is good, they did a urine catch and it showed no protein... she couldn't believe the baby had moved.

  • I'm still soooo disappointed for you that you don't get to meet LO today. 

    But, I'm SUPER happy that baby flipped for you and you get to (hopefully) avoid surgery altogether! 

    FX baby decides to get a move on before induction, and if not, hopefully all your other vitals etc. stay looking good!

  • Yay for baby being head down but I'm sorry you didn't get to meet baby today.
  • This is all so crazy, I cannot believe baby flipped on you! I'm happy you're potentially avoiding surgery but sad that your not getting to meet your baby today!
  • Looks like your LO wanted to pick their own birthday! Hope he/she stays head down and decides to come soon with a nice easy and quick labor for you.

  • I'm sorry you're disappointed but its great news baby flipped (I want to call baby 'her'...weird!)

    Also, plus side, you got a someone to give you a smooth vag for free. Probably a $50 value. ;)

  • I can imagine it must be very bittersweet for you. Glad the head is down and FX you avoid surgery.

  • Oh, poo! Well, at least it seems like your body and baby are doing what they're supposed to be doing and who knows, maybe you'll go into labor before your induction date! Gl!

  • That must be sooo frustrating. I was admitted to the hospital twice with talks of induction and sent home. The third time I was admitted I was ready to beg them to just induce me. It sucked being so close, yet so far away.
