Just want to chime in and say "shame on them!" for making you feel bad! It it weren't to the point of delivery already, I'd totally recommend you finding a new OB/midwife/office! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-447323 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:38:57 +0000 mrs. wagon 447323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: it really sounds like your water broke!! I'm glad you're calling... good luck!!!!!!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-447316 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:30:01 +0000 kodybear 447316@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'd call as well. the same thing happened to me. i got up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night and wasn't sure if i peed in my sleep or my water broke. went to lay down again and an hour later felt the pop and the gush. maybe while ur waiting to hear from them, lay down for alittle bit and see if when you get back up if there is more gush? that was my plan to see if i peed in my sleep or if my water broke b4 i felt the real gush. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-447001 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:09:54 +0000 oahujeni 447001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I'm calling them now. I think part of me is also hesitating because I'm terrified of labor so if I end up going in they may possibly keep me there... and I'm so scared! Ahhhh, will keep you updated! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-446986 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 11:06:24 +0000 autumnlove 446986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely call!

Pregnancy &amp; Birth are really significant times in our lives &amp; having providers that we can truly trust is important. If there have been date miscommunications, you constantly see someone different, &amp; they make you feel bad for voicing concerns I would seriously question their ability to cater to your needs in decision making during your L&amp;D. I'm a pretty big advocate that while they are the ones educated, they still work FOR you, not the other way around! It's only too late to switch if you've already had the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-446896 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:31:19 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 446896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First of all, shame on them for making you feel bad. This is your first pregnancy and they should understand that you have no idea what to expect. I would have definitely called my doctor if I had cramping!</p> <p>Now, to your current symptoms, you will have some blood after they do a cervical check. I actually bled a lot after each check. But, the gush is what I would be concerned about because it sounds like your water broke and you're leaking fluid. I would call them and tell them you think your water broke and see what they say. They will probably tell you to go to the hospital to get checked. Don't be ashamed, and don't let them make you feel ashamed for calling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-446889 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:25:51 +0000 rachiecakes 446889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: totally agree better safe than sorry - if you're really worried, it's always better to call :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-446888 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:25:05 +0000 rachiecakes 446888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Personally, I'd wait and see if contractions come on. If you're still leaky and no contractions by this evening, I'd call. If you start having timeable contractions, I'd call, too.<br /> I was superparanoid that I had a slow leak because I had friends that did, I called and was checked and NOPE, normal fluid. (so gross!)<br /> Also, a due date is just an estimate. My best friend went 42 weeks, 1 day, and only went into labor because her midwife suggested to self-induce with castor oil.<br /> Good luck! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-446886 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:24:01 +0000 hilsy85 446886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely call...that sounds like how it was for me when my water broke (small gushes/trickles). Plus better safe than sorry--this late in the game, it's your right to be a paranoid pregnant woman. I also didn't have contractions unt like 2 hours after my water broke. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/frustrated-with-ob-and-paranoid-about-labor-in-3-days#post-446878 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 10:19:06 +0000 oahujeni 446878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is a little long... sorry in advance! My original due date was Dec 14, but my Dr. adjusted it to the 21st after looking at my history of only having a cycle every 2-3 months my entire life (except the 3 months leading to my BFP in which I was right on time.) I went in last Friday because I was having major cramping but nothing that was "timeable" if that makes sense. Everything checked out Ok and after the visit I started to bleed and pretty sure I lost my mucus plug on Saturday. It took everything in me not to call the dr because he said a little bleeding would be normal (plus the nurse made me feel guilty for coming in just for cramping... she acted like I was being a baby.) </p> <p>At my appt on Tuesday the midwife casually mentions that at my 21 week ultrasound they moved my due date from Dec 21 to the 16 but never bothered to tell me. I know the dates are all relative but come on! I see a different dr or midwife at every appointment and I feel like the communication is off. Also at my appt. on Tuesday, the midwife quickly checked the heartbeat which was great, leaves the room as if the appt is over, then comes back in and says "oh yeah I should probably check to see if you've dilated any more." Ummm ok. </p> <p>Now, last night every time I got up to go pee I had a very small gush (actually not really a gush but it semi-soaked a pantyliner) tinged with a little bit of blood. I don't think my water broke and I'm not having contractions, but I'm torn on if I should call. They said I would see some spotting and that it would be normal, but maybe this is something different? I just have a pit in my stomach about calling the office about it because they make me feel like I'm being a paranoid pregnant lady! I feel like I should wait until I have a true gush of water and contractions. I'm praying for something concrete that my body does to say "hey lady you are in labor, get to the hospital!!"</p> <p>When you were close to your due date did you feel paranoid about every little thing? Did you hesitate on calling your dr. and just wait it out? </p>
