This was my first pregnancy, and I was
only 18 yo, I did not understand what
was happening and my Ob was not verry
helpful or understanding.
I had developed braxtonhick contractions
at 34 weeks that were very strong, so we
went to the hospital, the nurses were
concerned but the Ob said I was not
dilating and to just go home and take
paracetamol for the pain. Well the
contractions came and went for the next
two weeks. The night before my baby was
born I rang the hospital totally
distressed, my baby had been kicking and
moving so much that I had bruises on my
tummy and I was not handerling the pain.
The nurses said to come in and called my
OB, when he arrived he checked me and
said I was still not dilated, and the
baby was not distressed as if she was
distressed she would not be moving much.
When we left the hospital, I burst into
tears, I could not handle being home by
myself and my husband had to go back to
work, so he decided to take me to my
mothers. I stayed the night at my
mothers, the next morning as I went to
get into the shower, my waters broke, I
looked down and it was green, with
meconium. I called mum, who called the
hospital and my husband, then we took
off for the hospital straight away as we
new that the baby was distressed. When
we arrived at the hospital I was induced
and after 4hours of labour delivered a
healthy baby girl at 5 lb 11 oz. I feel
that had I had a understanding doctor
maybe I would have understood what was
happening and would not of got both
myself and my baby upset.
