Contractions and sent home

angeljumper · September 2013

So Tuesday night my hubby and I are up all night with me having contractions and times intervals. When the came every 2-3 minutes for an hour we went to the hospital. They sent me home 3 hours later due to the fact that I wasn't progressing. I had a doc apt on Thursday and she scheduled me for an induction a week from now. They want me to live with contractions that close together for a week or wait for my water to break!!!! If I go insane my family will know why. It is so painful and the only sleep I get is from pure exhaustion because my body can't function anymore. I want a new doc or my baby now. I can't live with this pain for a week!!!!

imakeeff0rts · September 2013

A week? Sorry, OP, but I've been dealing with this since 33 weeks. I'm currently at 38 weeks. That's five weeks total of almost non-stop contractions and irritability. You can deal with it, as many of us have.

Arielle27 · September 2013

I have also been suffering from uterine irritability, preterm labor and false labor for almost ten weeks now... And knowing how NOT fun it is, I really do feel for the OP (@angeljumper). I think it's really sad when people have to put down others for not enduring as much pain as themselves, rather than offering a sympathetic ear when they know what someone is going through...

Oh, great! Nothing goes over as well in a post than white knighting. I think that is really sad, but to each their own. imakeeff0rts has been VERY supportive of me and many others so sorry if I can't just sit there and have you bash her.

@imakeeff0rts - I don't know how I didn't realize you have been dealing with contractions for so long. WTH?

Yup, it sucks for OP. But I think eff0rts was just pointing out that a week really isn't that bad compared to some people.

And FYI, all of the regs on here are a lot more supportive of people that post regularly and don't just "drive by" and post when they need support or want to complain. As @happybride 276 said, eff0rts has been more than supportive to those who make the effort to support others.

The original post was dripping with attitude and selfish, "woe is me" language. Instead of saying, "I'm dealing with this and I'm really in pain, is anyone else going through this? How do you deal?" she said "I want a new doc or my baby now. I can't live with this pain for a week!!!!" See the difference?

That's because she doesn't vent about it a lot and draw a bunch of pity and attention to herself. I remember her L&d scare too, I think it was around 32 wks. And from my understanding she has been working all this time, am I correct in recalling EMT?

Yeah, she's pretty much a badass, I will give her all of that respect.

Putting someone down is not the same as telling them to suck it up. She did not compare her pain to OPs. She was saying it could be worse... Because it really could!

Feel better soon OP. Maybe LO will come on his or her own before then.
I find that much more important than temporarily being in pain for a week.

You are right...she has been working. Extra kudos to her! Wow. I feel like even more of a baby for being annoyed by a few days and not working (although I don't think I have complained on the Bump at all about it)

PrimRoseMama · September 2013

That sucks, but if you are sleeping through these contractions at all then they aren't dire enough to require immediate attention.

swspear · September 2013

Well clearly if you were having real, painful labor contractions every 2-3 minutes without stopping or subsiding, your doctors would not be asking you to wait a week. Most likely then they are either BH contractions or the baby's just not ready yet so your body is not dilating or effacing with the contractions.

@PrimRoseMama hit the nail on the head: you are finding it possible to sleep - that's the good news! So try to keep resting and hopefully your body will have the energy to make it through the week or perhaps you'll deliver your baby early. Good luck!

Ticker above is based on original due date: 9/21. C-section scheduled for 9/16.

You'll make it. Doctor's usually know best. If you were progressively dilating/effacing, they would keep you.

allurea · September 2013

I'm sorry OP, that does suck. Many of us have been dealing with early contractions for more than a week. Baby just isn't actually ready. I had my pre-term labour stopped, but it never truly went away, it's still here and it keeps ramping up and then tapering back off again.

Does it hurt? When they get strong, sure it does.
Is it annoying? You bet it is.
Does it interfer with daily activities? Absolutely.
Does it make it hard to get rest/sleep? Damn skippy.

In the end, dealing with the contractions is worth it if it means baby matures a little more before coming out. I haven't been given an induction date, because I don't want one. I'd rather deal with the contractions and let LO come on her own terms, unless she starts showing signs of distress, I will deal with these for another 4 weeks if I have to. Oh, and I am still working full time.

@imakeeff0rts was not being unsupportive or rude, she was just pointing out that a lot of people are dealing with it and it's totally normal.

imakeeff0rts · September 2013

Wow...Thanks for backing me up, ladies.

1. At what point did I "put her down"? I simply pointed out that others have been dealing and she can, too. Excuse me if my wording wasn't rainbowey enough for you.

2. Have some balls and be direct. This "blahblah I'm posting under the only comment and 'people' shouldn't put her down" shit is stupid. Seriously.

3. I wasn't going to play this card, but since you're demanding that I be sympathetic to her - I'll be sympathetic when she's had terb twice in five weeks to stop PTL and is still having contractions.

I'm sorry that you're dealing with this, OP, but it could be much, much worse. Your doctors are giving your body a chance to do what it's designed to do. I know that you want your LO out, I want mine out, but be grateful that your doctors are giving you a chance to go into labor on your own instead of immediately resorting to something that's possibly unnecessary.

@HappyBride276 Remember that really bad UTI I had a little over a month ago that wouldn't go away? Yeah - that kick started it. The UTI is gone, but apparently I had it for so long and was completely unaware that it caused problems that UTIs are known to do (read: PTL). I had terb twice - once at 33 weeks when I initially went to L&D, and once again at 35 weeks because his lungs weren't mature yet. The terb stopped actual labor, but I still have contractions with irritability in between. It sucks, but oh well. What do you do? I've had NSTs at every appointment since then, and DS seems to be handling it well which is why she hasn't taken him out yet. But I set an induction date at my appointment yesterday - if he's not out by his due date, he'll be evicted.

I am so glad there is an end in sight for you. I now remember your UTI, but I wasn't aware of all you are going through. I am sorry. I feel for you ladies that have had a hard pregnancy. You are a tough one! You never complain and I give you a ton of credit.

Thanks - I don't complain because I realize that it *could* be a lot worse and I try to take that into perspective instead of posting about it trying to milk sympathy.

palm513 · September 2013

I had major contractions for 6 weeks every 150 seconds and they lasted 60 seconds. And, because I never dilated past 4, and was carrying twins they never did anything about it.

It sucked and I empathize with anyone that has to go through that.

Well you still get *hugs*. And kudos to dealing with it with such grace.

I wasn't havnig contractions first thing this morning, but they are back and making it difficult to walk around and do things, but I got the ok to go to my friends wedding, and I'll be damned if I'm going to let the contractions stop me from going for at least a little while. I already had to miss her bridal shower because I was stuck in the hospital during it. The only sad thing is I won't be having a glass of champagne with a strawberry in it. Totally my favourite thing at weddings lol. (sorry, I'm excited)

imakeeff0rts · September 2013

@allurea You shouldn't let it stop you. Have a life while you can.

swspear · September 2013

@palm513, Are you saying that you had "major" 1 min contractions every 2 1/2 minutes around the clock, non-stop for 6 weeks?

kimberlymacrae · September 2013

Drive bys. Damn them. I really wanted the answer to "what do you expect them to do?"
1. Deliver your baby even tho its against their medical advice
2. Send you home with a morphine drip so you're more comfortable
Or my personal favorite
3. Blow smoke, rainbows and bubbles up your ass

The first two weeks they were only 3 1/2 minutes apart, put they got closer together after two weeks. They would top out the toco meter and I wasn't progressing(which is normal for my family) and as a policy they won't give you anything to help you progress your labor with multiples, and because the babies weren't in any form of distress there was no reason to do an Emergency C-Section. So I had to have one scheduled which takes 4 weeks.

Mthurm17 · September 2013

Holy cow ladies! We all know its not always rainbows and butterflies, but if someone needs to vent, let them. Everyone deals with pain differently. One preggo may be going through a similar situation and can carry on with life in a somewhat normal fashion- that's wonderful! If another preggo has a lower pain tolerance and feels things are unbearable, then that's okay too. Sheesh! We can still be informative, straight-forward, etc with each other while still being supportive.
Okay, off my soap box now

I fail to see how anyone was unsupportive? Everyone in this thread has acknowledged that it sucks. That doesn't change the fact that she has no choice but to wait it out.

She may feel that the pain is unbearable, but the hospital is not required to keep her just because she has a questionable pain threshold. They have standards and OP didn't meet them.

Also, who said she was forbidden to vent? No one. Simply that its happened to others but she needs to calm down.

Mthurm17 · September 2013

@prim rose mama: I wasn't calling anyone out or saying anyone specific wasn't being supportive. I just wouldn't want to be told to suck it up during a time I was in pain and probably just want some encoragement or postive advice. That's all

Well, in that case, maybe you wouldn't post your vent on a public internet forum

I'm pretty sure we're all in pain or discomfort and don't wanna be pregnant anymore.

Fixed your tag.

mawarren · September 2013

OMG! People on this site are freaking ridiculous!!! How can you people make one person's vent suddenly all about sympathizing with someone else who rudely responds??? Good grief!

To the OP: I just started having braxton hicks but mine are nothing compared to the real thing so I'm dealing ok and just hoping it will turn into the real thing soon. Hopefully yours will too!

imakeeff0rts · September 2013

Oh Jesus. The white knights are in full force.

I wasn't rude. I told her that others have been dealing with it longer than she has. I guess I should fix my statement to make it more rainbowey for those of you that can't handle bluntness:
"ERMEHGERSH OP! I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO sorry that you have to deal with pain for an entire week! That must be horrible for you! They should have just induced you right then and there to relieve your pain and make everything all better! How horrible of your doctors to think that you should have to deal with things that come along with pregnancy for another week! I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sorry."

Better?

heaven22tw · September 2013

I could sit here at almost 37 weeks w twins after hyperemesis gestational hyperthyroidism malnutrition dehydration preterm labor irritable uterus heartburn so bad I throw up while sleeping gestational hypertension carpal tunnel and 13 - 14 pounds of baby weighing me down and tell OP shes being a baby and suck it up...but somehow through all of it I just feel compassion and understanding...it all depends on the type of person you are I guess...OP keep your head up we are almost there!!!!!!!!!!!!

PrimRoseMama · September 2013

@heaven22tw : "it all depends on the type of person you are I guess..."

Oh please do elaborate on this thought. What exactly do you mean? I don't think anyone is a bad person (as you so passively aggressively insinuate here). It doesn't make a person bad, mean, rude or anything negative to inject some reality check into the OP's whine-fest here.

Pregnancy really really sucks at the end. Almost everyone has some issue. I was in nearly-active-but-not-productive-enough-to-be-admitted labor from 37 weeks onward. DS came at 41 weeks 2 days. All the folks that responded are there currently or have been there. It fucking sucks and everyone has admitted it. What else would you have us say?

Poor OP? That they should induce her now? No one likes to hear "suck it up" but you know what? Sometimes that's all you can advise. You can tell someone how much you know it sucks, but that won't solve their situation.

Blowing sunshine up someone's skirt is not always the answer. That doesn't make anyone who responded a bad person. Just have to make that abundantly clear because you seem to be mistaken in a huge way.

@mawarren : threads can turn any which way. The OP never came back. Another, well known & frequently supportive poster, is also suffering. So, we also offer support to others here too. No one in this thread has failed to support the OP. it's just apparently not the hand-holding, hair-braiding, let-mama-hold-you language that some posters feel is appropriate for this post.

Good lord, I don't understand how some posters function in the big bad world without someone to spoon feed them sunshine & lollipops every waking hour.

All of us are mothers or soon to be. You wouldn't want your children's peers to treat them the way you treat people on this site so why do you people feel the need to bully and talk down to everybody on here who's not your best friend??? If you have to try to make people feel bad on the internet to make yourself feel better, you need to get a life! You obviously have a serious self esteem problem. Don't be so rude! It's not that hard to not be a b****!!!

I'm not gonna bother tagging anyone on this post. All of you know who you are.

Oh just shut the fuck up!! I am so tired of your white knight bullshit. It is easy to support someone who has supported me ESPECIALLY when she never complains about her pregnancy. If it were so easy to not act like a bitch then why aren't you doing it? You have your opinion, and in a world where everyone gets a trophy for participating because we are all winners, you might be right. This is the real world and not everyone is going to get the response they want. I have been misquoted and felt like people here didn't get me at times, but big fucking deal. This is life. Not everyone is going to hold my hand and sing kumbaya.

You claimed that it depends on what kind of person I am. So, if your response was different & you think it's better, as you imply... You are passing judgement on the quality of my (and other posters') characters. Only you refuse to own it & back pedal. That's cool.

I'll outright say it that I think it's crappy to say that our response to this vent makes us any less of a person than you. Also, you certainly don't know me, but you still feel comfortable making blanket statements that include me? Yeah, you should look to that.

Again, no one said the OP's situation didn't suck balls. Simply that there are those going through the same & worse.

Sweet Jesus the sheer amount of immaturity, passive aggression & stupid to be found on TB is truly astounding. I don't know whether to be laughing or crying or both. This shit is real, yo.

1. I wouldn't want my children's peers to be straight forward and tell them the truth instead of candy coating things and spewing puppies, kittens and rainbows? No thank you, I'd take option number one. There is a difference between being blunt and rude and I'd prefer my child learn that at a young age so that they don't get butt hurt over absolutely nothing.

2. No one was bullying or talking down to the OP. Please learn what those two things mean. Being blunt and stating that others have it harder or are also dealing with the same issue is neither.

3. If you "feel bad" because someone explained a similar or worse situation and told you "hey it could be worse, you just have to deal with it." than you should not be on a forum.

4. Self-esteem has nothing to do with pointing out facts or sharing a similar situation.

5. Pot, meet Kettle.

Exactly all of this, but specifically #1. If my kid were complaining about something like this (I'm pregnant and have to endure Braxton Hicks for a week?!), then yes. I would ABSOLUTELY want his friends to tell him to suck it up and deal. It's one thing to have a bad day - it's another to post/say things to people practically begging for sympathy. That's just ridiculous.

Get off of your high horse, stop white knighting (because you're done a shitty job of it anyway), and move the hell on. Obviously the internet is not the place for you. Honestly, I'm wondering how to make it in real life if someone telling OP, bluntly but not rudely, that people have been dealing with this for weeks and she'll deal with it, too.
