when my wife was 8 months pregnant we went to what was supposed to be a "routine" check-up. well when they realized the babies heart rate dropped drastically the slew of doctors did their assessments and left the room without saying a word to us. talk about freaking out... well the nurse came in and said the doctors are discussing inducing my wife because our son was too big and didn't have a lot of room in the womb which caused stress and thats why his heart rate fell way down. we asked the nurse how they were going to induce her and her answer further freaked us out. she said they will probably have me tweak her nipples and cause her uterus to start contracting and hopefully force labor. i thought she was so kidding us i laughed. nope she was dead serious so immediately i felt stupid. lol. imagine if they asked us to have sex right there in the exam room???? talk about pressure to perform. anyways, we elected to have her go to the labor and delivery floor and they put this pill inside of my wifes vagina which caused her to go into labor..... but the labor lasted freakin 24 hours on the nose. induced 2:30pm one day he was born 2:30pm the next day. i have all the painful contractions on film and oh btw the dumb ass Navy Doctors did the epidural too early so basically she ended up having the birth natural..... yea she almost broke my hand she squeezed it so hard.
moral of the story..... well there is no moral, i just thought it was a good story.
don't worry heather im sure your doctors are way better than ours were...
