Homebirth Help !!!!!!!!!!
Posted: 06-10-05 18:43pm

I thought I was 37 weeks exactly on wednesday 9th june at 11pm on 8th I started having contractions pretty regular about every 6 minutes building to a peak then going this is my 2nd pregnancy well these contractions were still coming strong at 5am so I thought it best to phone my partner he came home from work and things started to progress again they started coming every 4-5 minutes lasting 30 - 40 secs so I thought oh great early labor by 7 am I phoned the midwife as I am having a home birth and she came gave me an internal and said I was 4 cms dilated which made me pretty happy she stayed 2 hours and went to do her calls well by 12pm in the afternoon things had stopped another midwife called in and said I wasn't in labor she didnt even check me out she left then and I thought I would go to bed for awhile well by 2pm contractions had started again but not as regular they were very painful so I called the midwife that had said I wasn't in labor back and she came to see me she said it was early labor but wouldn't do an internal and would not break my waters because I was only just 37 weeks but when she checked my file it turned out my dates were wrong and I am really 38+ weeks pregnant well as far as I know I am classed as full term but she still wouldn't do anything I know I need my waters broken as I have been told my waters are tough (have had a few pregnancys that sadley ended in misfortune) they broke my waters on my daughter and after 17 hrs of labour she finally came within 15 minutes of them doing it but this midwife wont take telling she thinks its best to let it all progress naturally and not interfere, labor was still coming but not regulating at all getting further apart rather then closer together I was still contracting really painfully at 11pm but went to bed, well at 7am this morning (10th) they have stopped and I have had niggles here and there but nothing major more of a pressure feeling then anything, I need help to start it all back up again any advice ????? :(

I dont even feel in labor any more thats the problem so unless I really have to I dont want to go into hospital (have a really big fear of them) my back pain has gone but every now and again I get a little pain in my lower abdomen but I am thinking thats just pressure because he is now or was 3/5ths down
