With LO2 I had pre labour for weeks (timeable but mild contractions that would fade away after a few hours). There were LOTS of texts to the midwives saying "maybe, i'll let you know, never mind..." The funny thing was when it was time there was no doubt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered/page/2#post-2747529 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 16:02:47 +0000 lioneyes 2747529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>twice. once was at 31 weeks when i had a weird pain, they monitored me for 2 hours then sent me home. the other was at 35 when i had been having false labor for 2 days and wanted some relief. after 2 hours of monitoring and listening to the woman next to me be in active labor) I demanded to go home at 4am. the next morning I had an OB appointment and was finally in active labor, and went back to the hospital at 10am to have DS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered/page/2#post-2747524 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 15:54:49 +0000 MrsBrewer 2747524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only for delivery. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered/page/2#post-2747519 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 15:50:12 +0000 mrsrain 2747519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Twice with both.

Morphine, and a lot of contractions, thanks to tricare no induction.</p> <p>2nd - I lost count. Kidney stones, preterm labor at 28 weeks (luckily mostly stopped with a magnesium bag, and some shots) continual contractions, and another round of kidney stones. After all of that, I was induced a day after my due date.</p> <p>3rd - Twice, preterm labor again, not enough progression, light bedrest and she came 3 days early (only one to have water break naturally!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered/page/2#post-2747063 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 20:57:44 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2747063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dr. Pepper: How scary!!

He doppled babies heartbeat and said that since he had a heartbeat he was fine. He sent me home. The next morning I called my OB who wanted a BPP and NST. I went on my lunch break (I work at the hospital) at 11:45am. I delivered my baby by 12:41pm by super stat emergency c-section. I was told another hour or two he would have been a stillbirth.</p> <p>Moral of the story- go in as many times as you need to go in and trust your mommy instincts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2747037 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 19:40:44 +0000 skipra 2747037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just once with my third. We didn't make it to the hospital where my practice was with my second so I was overly cautious the third time and immediately sent home.<br /> With my second I did go in once too but it was because of bleeding, not because I thought it was time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2747035 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 19:30:42 +0000 sunnyday 2747035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh.<br /> DD1 5 times<br /> DS 3 times, though unrelated to pregnancy. Had a locked knee and even preggo they shot me in the bum w morphine to try to relax me enough to unlock the knee. A few attempts so had to keep going back (at 38w).<br /> DD2 6 times.</p> <p>My girl pregnancies are all drama. Bleeding and decreased movement. Silly ladies. Everyone ended up healthy and overdue. Once in labour I showed up at hospital and left with baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746918 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 14:35:33 +0000 kes18 2746918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None with my first as I never had prelabor and was induced. With my second I thought I had a small leak of fluid so they wanted me to come check. 3 hours later they had finally checked me and said no fluid and I was at 3cm so they had me walk around an hour to see if I was progressing but I did not in that hour even though my contractions were like 3-4min apart. So they gave me the option of staying and being induced or go home. So I went home shortly before noon, ate, and then went back 2 hours later ready for my epidural at 5-6cm :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746905 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 14:14:34 +0000 hellobeeboston 2746905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i didn't go in with my first until i was in labor. and with my second I went in once because i thought i was leaking fluid </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746896 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 13:44:13 +0000 Corduroy 2746896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once. I was 30 hours into labor but sent home because I was only 1-2 cm. I went back 10 or 15 hours later and was admitted. I had 3 or 4 NST leading up to my two deliveries but they weren't at the hospital. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746856 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:47:07 +0000 petitenoisette 2746856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: Yea I remember at some point the midwives and nurses kind of whispering about maybe the baby was not well-positioned but for some reason they didn't know for sure until she was born? I hope they can tell for the next baby bc I'm not going through that again! Thankfully I got the epidural as soon as they admitted me so it was only slightly more than 24 hrs unmedicated. I pushed the next day for 4 hours and she wasn't coming out :bummed: I do wonder if I had waited longer for the epidural if I would have had a different experience but I'm ok with how everything turned out. </p> <p>I know what you mean about not hearing about people with super long labors, all the first time moms I know had much quicker labors. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746855 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:45:39 +0000 LuLu Mom 2746855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1 with my first, not because I thought I was in labor, but because my doc sent me to triage due to my blood pressure being high. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746845 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:40:48 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2746845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: I had a relatively small baby and have wide hips and I'm pretty sure that's the only reason it worked out for us. It took so long and it was such a rough start to motherhood looking back. I'm surprised they couldn't/didn't tell you she was sunny side up! how long did you have to continue labor before your c section? Hope not too long! 😳 I know the same thing must happen to a lot of people but Im glad you commented here, most people I know didn't have that long wait because of positioning- they either went straight to c sec or had maybe a total 24 hr labor. The only person I know who did it this way ended up with a baby positioned right but just too big. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746842 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:34:03 +0000 petitenoisette 2746842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@2littlepumpkins: I didn't know she was sunny side up until she was born and I did fully dilate with the pitocin so I naively never thought I would end up with a c-section! I feel you on the epidural, I was soooo tired by the time I got to the hospital I needed it so badly just so that I could get some rest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746840 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:31:10 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2746840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@petitenoisette: same thing happened to me. But I did got home and eventually give birth sunny side up.. I think it was fear of c section (thank you, internet and google) that kept me at home another 24 hours. I LOVED my epidural! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746838 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:28:42 +0000 2PeasinaPod 2746838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you're talking about feeling like I was in labor...just the day I actually gave birth for both. I had GD with my first, so I was in L&amp;D for NST twice/week. But there was never a point where I was there to be monitored for preterm labor or anything like that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746825 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 12:20:21 +0000 petitenoisette 2746825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once for the tour and then not until I was in labor. I had been in labor for 24 hours at that point and then it turned out I was only 2 cm. I am so glad they didn't make me go home because the hospital is about 35 minutes away and I was miserable (turned out baby was sunny side up and I ended up with a c-section in the end - explains the back labor and no rest between contractions but only be 2 cm!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746782 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 11:33:52 +0000 nanilani 2746782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent a night in L&amp;D for hydration and monitoring at 34+3 after my doc measured low fluids during an ultrasound. They sent me back about three weeks later to be induced after my amniotic fluid was found to be low again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-times-did-you-go-to-the-hospital-before-you-actually-delivered#post-2746769 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 11:24:18 +0000 808love 2746769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Once-newbie...oh wait maybe twice.
