Ok, first of all, I just wanted to say
that im not trying to say that I want to
get anyone in trouble, or lose their jobs,
but I do want to do something!!
Ok, ive been holding this in for a while
now, for 11 months since my sons been
born, but I was just reading thru
everyones questions, and I see how much
everyone helps, and adds their input, and
id really like to get advice from some
people that wont judge me...
I went into the hospital to have my son,
and I was dilated 2cm... I went through
11 hours of labor still only dilated 2 cm
until this one nurse came in, checked me,
and said I was dilated 7 cm. Well, they
gave me a lot of different stuff to help
me have my son, and then a different nurse
came in, checked me, said I was doing ok,
and came back with my doctor, who, after
12 hours of labor then, said I was still
only dilated 2cm... Im no doctor, and I
was on a lot of drugs, but my
understanding was that they could have
given me something to help me dilate, or
at least wait so I could at least have my
son naturally... But, since they already
gave me all the drugs to put me farther
into labor, they said theres was nothing
else they could do... And if I didnt
dilate to 10cm within the next 30 minutes,
theyd have to do a c-section... Which I
reallllly was against before then. Now,
from what they say, ill probably have to
have a c-section for any children I have
in the future, and the part that made me
the maddest was that I wasnt the first to
hold my son, and they only let me see him
for a split second before they took him
out of the room. I couldnt walk for days,
I will always have this huge scar on my
stomach(which is still numb) and I believe
that all this couldve been avoided if this
nurse didnt make such a big mistake...
From 2cm to 7cm is a big difference, and
should not have been made!!! If anyone
has any input to what I should do, or what
you would do, please let me know... Id
greatly appreciate it! Ty, jenn
