Maura Rune I just got home from a three day stay in the hospital. They thought my cervix wa opening. They gave me two shots in the hips to help Caleb's (my little boy) lung's develop. And when they did the ultrasound to check his fluid level this morning it had dropped from 8.9 to 4.43 while I was in the hospital. Now since i was on strict bedrest only allowed to move from the bed to the bedside potty and back, and they were pumping me full of fluids, how did his fluid drop? And I am not real happy at the moment cause they have been preaching to me that the baby is in danger if hs fluid drops below 5 and now they are acting like it is no big deal. I fell like they don't care about my baby and have been crying since they sent me home. I don't know what to do, cause I feel like they are gonna let my baby die. I am only 28 weeks and he really would have a hard time if he was delivered. Anyone have any suggestions? I would demand to be re-admitted to the hospital and monitored closly.... at 28 weeks he can be dilivered but would be in intencive care for a while, if you/your insurance is paying for you to be in the hospital they should let you stay and be monitored

I am on medicaid, I lost my job after telling them I was pregnant. They made up an excuse to fire me without it being the pregnancy.
I begged them to let me stay cause being at home causes me stress since i have to live with my mother at the moment and she hates my husband.
I am gonna sleep at home tonight and then go to another hospital and forget my damn OB cause they ignore all my concerns.
I have PCOS and have always wanted a baby. I managed to get pregnant, and now I am worried about loosing the only thing that matters to me anymore.
Plus I am having back pains and tightening in my stomach like cramps but they say it is not contractions.

I may have never been in labor (well actully I might be in early early labor right now cuz I am feeling my contractions stranger than I have b4 and they dont go away if I get up and walk around and such) but yes, back to you, I may not have been in labor b4, but from what I have herd thats what it sounds like to me If this right now goes over ok, and baby is ok and everything, when you go back to your hospital I would sugest requesting to be switched from a doctor to a mid-wife (from my experiance they are alot more pacient and listen more) but yes, get back to the hospital and demand to be seen and monitored

oh Maura I'm so sorry to hear about all this. I've been wondering how you were. I think it's a crime that they put women through stuff like this. I had lots of complications in my first pregnancy and they just kept jerking me around, in and out of the hospital, one minute they had to induce right away the next it wasn't a big deal. I feel so bad for you *hugs*. I would definetly insist that they take care of you and let you stay in the hospital if you feel you need to. It is darn near impossible to really rest at home, especially with tension.
I hope you can get the care you need. And that the other hospital is better. I will be praying for you and your baby.

yes, I agree, it is hard to rest at home when you have such things to worry about
and your doctors of all people should know that stress is the worst thing for you right now

Maura - if all doesnt go well, and the baby is delivered soon..have hope. My husband was delivered at 26 weeks all those years ago.. and has made it out to be a very healthy man today.
I am very sorry to hear about how badly they are treating you, and all the crap they've put you through! I would go to a different hospital if you can, and then get a different doctor. You have the right to be taken care of, and the baby has that right as well.. without them dicking you around.
on a different note:
Angiemademe!.. CONGRATS on the little girl! ^_^ my poor DH is vastly outnumbered currently. It's myself, the two girls and him.. thankfully I finally get the little boy I've wanted. (My husband just wants healthy children, he loves the girls and they are his little daddies princessess.. hehehe)

Thank you guys so much. I am curetly looking for a new OB, and plan on getting all my records on monday to take to the new doctor. I tried sleeping last night but had a hard time getting anything more then 4 hours. It is stupid that I should have to worry about all this stuff cause the doctors are too samn busy to pay attention to any of my concerns.
I read up on low fluid and every medical website said that below 5 cm of fluid the baby could sit on it's cord by accident and stop it's oxygen, a lot of low fluid cases end in still births. And since this is probably the only chance I am gonna get to have a baby the way things are going in my life I am not willing to accept that.
He means so much to me. And just "trusting" the doctors is not enough for me now since I feel like I have been jerked around and lied to.

Maura- just try your best to drink as much water as possible right now (but still have room to eat meals so he stays healthy) oh also, transforing hospitals might make it hard to get an apointment ASAP - might have to go to the ER first to get all of your concers taken care of right now and then go from there

I live in Georgia, and there is another hospital with in 10 mins of the one my Ob is at. I already have numbers to call on monday to get a new Ob. If I explain everything to them, they should see me asap. And on Monday I am gonna get all my records fro my current Ob.
I have been seeing a High Risk pregnancy doctor too, and they are at the hospital my Ob is not at, so picking a OB who is at their hospital, should make things eaiser for everyone.
The baby has only two vessels in his cord, (he is supposed to have three) this is what caused the low fluid to begin with, and he is about 2 weeks too small.
I was given steroid shots in the hospital to help his lungs deelop, in case I do go into labor or he gets destressed. I am trying to belive that he will be fine and just resting till I can get things moving on Monday. I am supposed t go see my Ob then, but have no way to get there so, they will have to get over it. They said as long as he is moving and kicking he is fine, so if it takes me till wednesday to get a new Ob I am trusting that he will be ok.

Hey ladies whats new? None of us have posted in awhile. Hope were all doing great. I myself have the flu... and I just got over a cold. Being sick when you pregnant is the worst. I'm visiting my sister right now. She has a two month old girl, she makes me want my baby to get asap. Also my daughter and my sisters son have been fighting like cats and dogs, they are 8 months apart. My sisters hubby leaves tomarrow for Irqa and then my sister is coming home with me for a year. I hope they get past this and all the cousins will get along with each other. Any how I just want to say hi. And blanket up date, I'm half way through Kristi's I wonder if I will finish it before the baby come. For your sake I hope the baby come first. Best wish all.
