the Baby's Head Is Very Very Low!!!! Posted: 03-30-05 15:08pm
I started to have contractions late monday
night, so I called the dr and he said that
if they do not let up in the next hour,
then come to the hospital. I layed back
down and tried changing positions. The
contractions kept coming and my lower back
started to ache bad. My husband said lets
go to the hospital we got there around
12:45 am and they imediatley put me in a
room and started the monitors to record
the baby's heart rate and my contractions.
The nurse then gave me a pelvic exam, she
said oh my god the babys head is so low!!!
She could feel it. I was not dialated at
all but she says my cervix was thinning
out.... She went to call the doctor and
he said I needed to stay there over night
and I needed to be put on a iv so I would
remained hydrated. My contractions were
off and on and around 5 am I had
contractions like every 3 to 5 min. Then
they finally let up. The doctor came in
around 7 am and gave me another pelvic
exam and said I still was not dialated.
He asked me when was my next appt. And I
told him the next morning. He said no sex
to stay off my feet as much as I could.
Today I had my Dr.Appt and they checked
the heart beat and measured me......I told
the doctor......I was in the hospital and
everything that happened she didnt even
check to see if I had dialated.... I left
and called my husband and told him he was
not happy so he called and talked to the
drs nurse...Turns out the dr did not put
anything in my chart about being in the
hospital and that if I felt I needed to
come in I should. Well about an hour ago
my tummy keeps getting tight and hard and
I feel alot of pressure on my.....I can
feel the baby pushing. I have two
questions....If the nurse can feel the
babys head doesnt that mean the baby has
already dropped? And why wouldnt the dr
atleast check me to see if I had dialated?
I am almost 32 weeks. Could I be going
into labor soon. I just tried calling the
Dr. I had to leave a message

Make sure you keep calling you doctor if
she dosn't call back!! If anything more
happens go right back to the hospital!

Well when I went in this morning the dr
asked me if I had any more contractions, I
said not since 8 this morning, but the
thing is when my husband called back to
see why they didnt check the nurse said it
was because I told the dr that I hadnt had
any today....And the fact that I spent the
night at the hospital was not even put in
my chart...I was pissed off because I told
the dr everything that happened at the
hospital. You would think they would
check me since the baby has already
dropped and my cervix is already thinning
out. I have another appt tomorrow.

Sounds like your doctors being a little
irresponsible to me......Just get plenty
of rest, and if you get more contractions
go right back to the hospital!
