waters broke 2hours ago & still no contractions???

[lissy]

Hi ladies well sorry to say Im still here & the saga continues. We went back to the hospital this morning & they put me on the ctg. I had a few small contractions which didn't seem to even register on the ctg....except every time bubs heart rate soared & then really plumeted .

Ive been poked & prodded & Ive just about had enough . They did an internal examination & took a swab, I have a shunt in my hand from iv fluid & I have to have 6 hourly lots of antibiotics via iv & ctg monitoring every time I go in.

OB says he'll give me untill tomorrow morning which will be 30 plus hours since my waters broke. The last ctg bubs heart rate stayed up but before that they were talking about whether his cord might be wrapped around his neck?????

I know there are far worse off than me but all I want to do is bawl my eyes out right now. I have to go back in at 5:30pm for the next lot & Im feeling really tempted to ask for pitocin... I dont know what to do

I am sorry that this is becoming such a stressful time for you. all the monitoring is like a curse and blessing all in one big phat go isnt it? it does seem strange that they have you on ABs? have you had a temp?

I have everything crossed that you go into labour soon and can begin cuddling that gorgeous baby boy of yours
