I was induced at 42 weeks. The L&D staff had no idea when my waters broke and the first indication was when my doctor checked and asked because she could feel my babies hair. My contractions were all 30 seconds long with only a minute break, pretty much starting at hour 4. Baby kept going into fetal distress with a her heart rate dropping. After 24 hours I still wasn't more than 4 cm dilated. Doctor looked at me and said, I think we should do a C-section. I told her that I was just glad someone was making a decision. Let me tell you, my first look at my baby was of the angriest, reddest faced, little baby I have ever seen. She didn't want to leave. She is 7 and still cuddles up against me at every opportunity.
@@thejellies5192 apparently it is a family thing in my case. My mom didn't dilate with me either. Two generations of coming out the window not the door.
The hospital where I birthed my kids is great at neonatal care but their bedside manner sucks sometimes. I had a nurse make fun of me because I kept my underwear on after changing into a hospital gown. She ripped them off of me and said loudly, “There’s no modesty in the maternity ward.” 🫣
@@dariamorgendorffe8 I'm so sorry that happened to you. I had a similar experience but I was already wearing an adult diaper. She ripped it off and slid it across the floor.

They freaked out about a dropping heart rate after every contraction with me, too and were all excited about a C section. The monitor was reading my heart rate, not the baby’s. What a show.
The way you write they where exited for a c section instead of they wanted to safe my babies life because they thought it was in danger. Yes they missed, but they still wanted the best. They aren't monsters.
also accurate how doc just checks without really addressing the patient first. I had to advocate for a friend. told doc that while we know he's there to help, we'd still like him to ask before checking anything and discuss what he's doing.
I'm a long retired RN..... I once tore strips off an OBGYN for not giving a local anasthetic sufficient time to take effect.....asked him how he'd like his p*nis stitched to his scrot without pain relief 🤨😡
My husband actually lasted a whole hour after my c section. As soon as they were done stitching me up he went back to the room and threw up so much they took him to the ER
Same thing happened to me and I say no for C-section , I was changing my position And that help me for the baby her heart right to be good . and I deliver my baby naturally. Thanks God.
yeah this meant my baby had cord double wrapped around his neck and they gave me petocyn and epidural. so happy i said yes and he was safe cause of it!
With my first, his heart rate kept dropping too. Mind you, I had been in the hospital for over an hour before someone came to check on me. And when they did, I already was fully dialated. When they noticed his heart rate, they went with vacuum extraction. But they were pulling the wrong way because he was a stargazer, which they did not realise until after he was born. They wanted to do one more pull before wheeling me to the o.r. And I was vehemently against a c-section so I screamed "I don't want a c-sectionnnnnnn" and with that final push, he came out.
@@mikalaturner8075 Ah! Well, that's probably just an error in translation then. It's what we call it in Dutch so I just used the litteral translation for the word.
I never had the chance to feel much labor pain. My baby’s heart rate kept falling whenever I had a contraction. Had to have an emergency c section. Her umbilical cord was in a knot so when the contraction happened the knot squeezed and she wasn’t getting any oxygen.
This was exactly what happened with my son. But i went from 6cm to 4cm. Doc said we had to be more stable so we waited a few hours and we were able to go into surgery safely. Doc still had to use forceps to get my son out. They had to go to a birthing room to get them because they didn't keep forceps in the surgery suite. It was touch and go for a while but We were both healthy and safe by the end. My son did have a lot of illnesses but nothing too serious. Luckily.
I also reverse dilated. 3cm to closed. I legit thought I was a freak of nature like how did my body do this? I’m glad you’re ok! And baby. My cesarian was just huge so they kinda scooped all my organs out and put them back in 😅 (I have a 10-12” incision) I’m not a small person and she was suspected to be big and I had a secondary issue so they had to open me wider
Alot of times it's cause they check your cervix to much causing you to swell and close up or have you lying on your back so baby isn't putting a lot of pressure on your cervix helping dilation
@@kyarrascott2799thank you. The hospital literally causes the problems moms think they had to be saved from I’m at a birth center and even then I’ll be denying cervical checks
@@jbb8261 yes!! I agree I had 2 hospital births 2 at an independent owned birth center and 1 at home unassisted , truly different experiences I love my midwife she was great and the unassisted birth was great too! Hospital ones just weren't good experiences for me, I hope all goes well for you! Congratulations!!
Forceps and hemostats are used in most surgeries so they probably just had to go to the other department to grab more autoclaved Forceps because they ran out of clean ones in that department.... that being said, I know nothing about birth, just knowledge of surgical procedures in veterinary settings from experience Edit: oh nevermind I am every very wrong!! Sorry lol I looked it up and I had no idea that there were forceps specifically for birthing 😳
This happened to us just last month! The surgion did a great job and I barely feel my incison anymore most of the time and kiddo is AOK! It'a such a trip how fast ya'll can prep, what with all the cleaning and draping and medications and getting the equipment set up and the epidural cranked up to 11 and everyone situated and ready to do their jobs when no one even knew this was gonna happen till, as you say, it escilated quickly. It was 13 minutes from the doorway to baby! I'm still reeling on that part, but in a good way. 😂 Such an amazing choreographed dance really. Fast but not even a little chaotic. I'm in AWE.
this JUST happened to me the other day, the nurses and doc were confused but he ended up having his cord double wrapped around his neck and contractions were tightening it. he cried right away coming out tho, we are blessed!! I ended up taking petocyn and epidural and i'm soo happy i did and didn't endanger my angel any longer
That’s why I chose a hospital (I’m in Germany) where giving birth on your back was the exception, just like seeing the doctors before the actual birth, and even then only looking in through the door unless the midwives (trained to German standard) called for help.
That kind of privileged, spoiled rotten ableism kills women, like me, who are having serious complications... And babies, like mine, who *required* specialty prescription formula and tube feeding to survive. Because we're not ALL spoiled rotten. Thankfully we aren't all killed or maimed by the ableist bigotry of the selfish woo sellers and profiteers. Our imperfect lives are EQUALLY VALUABLE, regardless if ableist, selfish parasites can exploit us for their own profit. Privileged types lack compassion, empathy, creativity and resilience because their lives are obscenely easy. Never take advice from spoiled rotten privileged bigots, they will kill others just so they can PRETEND that privilege is the "norm".
I had exactly this scenario happen to me with my first baby. It was terrifying. I think it was the most scared I had ever been up until that point in my life. They had me lay on my side and it helped!
Me on my second as I attempted a vbac. I labored completely at home . Water broke in the car and arrived at ER ready to push. Completely still wish I hadn’t given into fear and kept pushing
I had this exact situation. I was very scared for my baby. Luckily my husband held my hand the entire time and was so supportive. She is now a healthy 9 yr old. ❤❤
My son pulled this stunt the doctor gave me an hour or two and threaten me with a C-section I said “not my first” (meaning I’m not going to have my first C-section with my first child😅). He came out not even 30 minutes later. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 We now how a clear communication today even when we don’t say the full sentences
This exact thing happened to me, i didnt care if it wasnt exactly what I'd planned, i just wanted baby safe. Now hes almost 2 and he is sweet, funny, and so smart. (:
This happened to me and they rolled me back and forth for half an hour through transition. It SUCKED but he was my fourth and I was able to deliver quickly.
Ugh. VERY true. I went from “let’s check that baby because he’s a week ‘overdue’” to me crying in a hospital delivery room because an OBGYN I had met ONCE during my pregnancy said if I left the hospital to even go get my overnight bag I’d be “signing out” AMA because I was already pre-registered at the hospital and wouldn’t it be TERRIBLE if something happened to my baby NOW, at the end of my pregnancy?! Instead I got induced, then LOADED up on PIT which was horrible then when they backed off PIT because my Cervix was progressing by my son wasn’t they discovered he was jammed in my hip. So emergency C-section!! Which I was eventually put to sleep for because they don’t let you know ahead of time that if you have certain back/spine issues epis dont work. Couldn’t even get the needle into the area. My husband and I weren’t there for the birth of our son because of unnecessary medical interventions. It caused me some MAJOR bonding issues and horrible depression. I’d never go to those OBs again.
@@missscarlet7902c sections and birth trauma have a direct relationship with ppd, which can make it hard to bond with your baby. This is basically common knowledge at this point. Maybe you didn’t read the comment, but there were medical interventions used here that weren’t necessary and could’ve avoided the surgery and trauma. There’s many risks and complications that can happen from pitocin just as described in this story. Maybe baby wouldn’t have gotten stuck if they allowed labor to continue naturally or tried a different method of induction. Your attitude and judgement is gross and seriously needs to be checked.
@@missmaddox guess she should have stayed at home so her and the baby could die. Then she wouldn't have to worry about medical intervention to help remove the baby that was stuck in her body. 🤡🤷🏻♀️
@@missmaddox you must be a doctor and was there examining her to decide they werent necessary. Surely you're not a pathetic, unqualified woman just bitching at the mouth.
Same for me, both times! Mine are 11, & 5 this month. It doesn’t even seem like they were so tiny now! 🥺 My 2nd had a hole in her heart, had to get a g-tube & a tracheostomy tube, which last year had surgery to remove it. Aaaawwww mama! I’m so proud of you as I know how tough it is to have a preemie! You rock and your little love is so strong! 🫂
There are so many other options before jumping to a csection. I had mt first baby with a midwife and it was such a great experience. This time around I'm in a small town and go to the closest obgyn and im terrified of him being pushy like this
My mum had an emergency c section with my little brother. My mum without is knowing at the time has arthritis in her spine and a compressed disc so when they went in with the needle to numb her they hit bone, mum screamed, and down went my stepdad. A nurse caught him but he's 6"7 and was too heavy to hold so she had to slide him down the wall to the floor so he didn't hit his head. He sat on a chair for the rest of the operation.
I heard somewhere that a lot of times doctors will push for C-sections because either theres someone else waiting for the room, they are getting off shift soon and a c-section is fadter than natural labour or they just dont want to wait for the natural labour. Always ask questions when a doctor recommends a serious procedure.
No absolutely not how that works, that would be considered medical malpractice and doctors don’t go through 8 years of school and 4 years more of interning to put patients in danger
What would you suggest to ask? I'm going natural birth anytime now, and I can just tell my hospital system is going to be very quick to follow routine procedural things. Like having a baby is different every second, for every person. It's like they don't know what to do if the birth doesn't follow the "if this, then..." programming
@@eeeypeee there is WAYYYYYYYYYY to many birth stories with needless interventions to be so confident about that. The fact of the matter is: a hospital has to work economically, and births do not like to go after a clock. In order to just give the mothers and children the time for natural progression, but also be ready at anytime for everything that can or will happen, they would end up having several empty rooms rather often. I don't think any average-not-elite hospital would be either willing or even able to work that way. So even "the good" doctors (which not all are!) may not really have a choice. And as for consequences of medical malpractice - there is A LOT you can get away with, for different reasons.
I am very glad with my 3rd baby they told me ahead of time I may need a c and that they had it planned the entire last month that i was 99% going to be a c section bc of baby not turning (possibly due to the cord on her neck, im not 100% sure i remember living upside down that last month trying to get her to turn but only shifting side to side). Any mama that has to have an EMC one; you are mentally stronger than most for going thru that.
I was induced. Got in at 3pm and at 2 am i was finally with baby on our room. Its crazy how scary it is, how scared you could become just to hear any "bad" notice like that, even if it is fixable
same story over here, induced at 42 weeks..Had some little contractions during the last two weeks of the pregnancy but nothing major, came to find out my water broke for a while, unnoticed.. during inducing storm contractions, 14 hours. Dilation didn't progress. Epidural didn't seem to work they tried 21 times, and still have the photos of my back. Morfine pump didn't work either, daughters heart rate was dangerously low, emergency C-section full anaesthesia. Having a healthy daughter now 3 years old, the most scared but beautiful story of my life.
They said the same thing to me with my first baby. They even scared me into getting an epidural because they thought I’d need an emergency csection. I pushed her out despite my crappy ass dr. The heart rate drops because they’re literally being squeezed the crap out of with each contraction. With my second baby she HATED IT and kicked me super hard with and between each contraction. She hated the experience so much in fact that I DID have to have an emergency csection. 36+ hours of labor and 6 hours of pushing for her stubborn butt to stay put. No cooperation from her at all. My all natural vbac after that was amazingly easy and super fast.
On Sunday when I got to the hospital I was checked and was 6cm. But I felt a little pushy. 10 minutes later the monitors weren’t picking up babies heart easily so the midwife went to do another check and was going to put a clip on babies head. Well as soon as she popped her fingers in……. I pushed them right back out with the head. Fastest delivery ever 😂
This was the exact thing that happened to me. They kept slowing down my labor because of the babys heartbeat and then after 14 hours they put me into emergency c section but after telling them that I was allergic to opiods they still gave them to me and I was going in and out of consciousness for nearly a whole day. I cried when I woke up because I didn't get to nurse my son or be the first to hold him
Ran into this issue with my baby, and the nurse told me that the Dr was going to come in and use forceps if I couldn't push my baby out soon. She coached me through. I had to push every other contraction due to the baby's heart rate. It was HARD! But we made it! ❤️
This happened to me 8 months ago! I was at 6 cm and my baby’s heartbeat was dropping. So I was on all four oxygen in my face rushed to an emergency C-section. She’s 8 months now and thriving! ❤
Literally exactly what happened to me, except I got to 7. It was so scary hearing his heart rate drop to almost nothing and having to be rushed into a c section!
This was me with my first vbac doc suggested an epidural to help me and baby relax and His heart rate was to back to normal in no time😊. I was so grateful for my OB. I asked for epi to be brought down when it was time deliver and I've had successful vbacs since then ❤
I was devastated when I got that news. O felt like my labor experience was stolen from me. We also have only been able to have one child, I will never get a second chance at that experience.
Came here to say this 😂 like C-section? Really? Just get baby and mom into a new spot! No wonder the C-section rate is so high in hospitals. They're practically looking for an excuse 😂 I'm about to have my 5th homebirth (7th child) and I swear I would have to be dying to go to a hospital ever again.
I showed up to my induction time in active labor. Had my water broken and a few hours later they gave me pitocin. Then my baby’s heart started dropping with every contraction. I was going on like hour 3 1/2 being at the hospital and they said a c-section would be the safest option due to her heart rate dropping. She came as they were prepping me for surgery 😅. It’s been her way or the highway ever since lol. But I got to the hospital at 6pm and had her a little before 10 pm. It was a crazy experience and I’m a little scared of ever having Pitocin again.
This is exactly what happened to me...but add that I wasn't progressing fast enough for the doc and he tried putting me on pitocin (which I declined because he couldn't tell me.why it was needed other than to speed things up and didn't have a good reason for that other than he had other things to do).
The oversized coat really cracked me up. This was my fear in going to a hospital, that the emergency c-section would be suggested first thing. I know it doesn't really happen like that all the time though. Nothing wrong with needing some urgency for baby but the prospect of a c section scared me, especially an unplanned one. I'm actually sad I caught this so early. Now I have to wait for part 2!
I did feel the same about it but I did need an emergency C-section. Turned out to be not that scary and I am currently healing really well! I know it's not the same for everyone but it turned out to be a pretty good decision for my baby and I!
@@mrlsdutch I'm so happy to hear it turned out well for you and your baby! And I'm also incredibly happy to hear that you're healing well. That's a whole level of healing I didn't have to deal with. I definitely recognize that it's the way things go sometimes but it felt extra scary to me in an already daunting process. I appreciate you sharing your experience with me, takes some of the fangs off of it :)
I had a great planned c-section! I have brain damage so it’s less likely I’ll die during childbirth to have a c-section but mannn everyone in the room was amazing and I’m so glad it was an educational hospital so a student could take the absolute best photos of my son’s first breaths 😭😭😭 it is scary unplanned but honestly having a planned c section was amazing, I didn’t even have any lingering pain… never took a medication except Tylenol, I actually felt right back to normal on day 4… One and done but good birth experience when planned 🤷🏻♀️ maybe I’ll alleviate someone’s stress even if it’s not yours but I know you’re a great mama and I hope you have a great day babes 💞
I was part of a mom’s and baby group shortly after delivering. At one point our group leader asked which of us had a C section in the end… and out of the group of approx 20 os us the number of women who did was astonishingly high! I know I NEEDED an emergency C section because my pre-eclampsia spiraled out of control (she was delivered 2 weeks early) BUT I doubt every one of the women who did was in a similar situation. I suspect a lot of them were at the doctor’s suggestion.
@@christinevr7698 First, I'm so happy that you and your baby are okay! And second, I would bet you're right. There might've been some that probably didn't absolutely *need* to have a c-section. From what I understand, sometimes it's proposed in a way that makes it feel more urgent than it really is so people will get scared and make a decision in a higher stress state of mind, and my care teams always made it clear that I can almost always ask for a few minutes to think it over and consider (unless it really is an emergent situation). I don't know that many care teams tell their patients that.
Exactly what happened to me. Except there were like 10-12 drs on one side of the room freaking out and I would ask if everything is ok they would turn around and say “oh everything is just fine no worries” turn back around and freak out. Seemed like they drew short straws to tell me that baby wasn’t doing well and needed an emergency c-section
I literally just gave birth 4 days ago and this was almost my labor and delivery outcome. I labored for 17 hours. My provider placed me on pitocin, and my epidural kept weaning in and out, so getting through my contractions were horrendous. The first time they put me on pitocin, my baby’s heart rate dropped a few times. Nurses and providers rushed in and my midwife deadass looked at me and said if baby’s heart rate goes down again, we’re going into emergency C-section. I was not happy to hear that as this was my attempt at having a VBAC. The look on me and my husband’s faces, we just knew that this is not what we wanted. They gave me medication to stop my contractions for awhile to give me a break. They started up pitocin on me again. Then eventually after several hours of horrendous contractions, with an ebb and flow epidural, and intense upper back/neck pain from the IV fluid shaking (At one point my anesthesiologist didn’t know what to do about my epidural being wonky and was gonna almost administer fentanyl to me for the upper back and neck pain, a BIG no. But thank goodness the epidural started working its magic again and the pain disappeared) - I dilated all the way to 10cm. I’m pretty sure if my memory serves me right/or a blurry one at that, I pushed out my baby after 30 mins. The same midwife who told me about a possible C-section, was the same one who said, “We’re determined to have a VBAC today.” And a successful VBAC I did end up having and I’m so grateful for. I would go through it all over again just to meet our daughter. Shout out to my amazing birth team!!
I was induced at week 42. It took three days and a EDS related cervical dystocia (while he was already crowning 😅) with me and my son nearly dead before I got an emergency c section. But when the doctor finally realized something was really wrong he called it. Fun times, fun times.
I felt weird when i had to call out (from work) because of really bad nausea that morning then it was 6 am and i felt something was wrong and thought I was having contractions. My boss didn't seem pleased because i called out on mostly every wednesday and it's when the truck came with what we needed. I ended up going to the hospital and they couldn't tell (it was a new and small hospital) so they sent me to a bigger one downtown. They were going to induce him because there was a hole in his heart and they didnt know what it was. They tried inducing me and his heartbeat kept dropping and then i ended up having an emergency C-section at 36 weeks. He ended up in the nicu and almost died 5 times from his heart stopping and was released close to his due date. He's now 19 months old and healthy. He's a little behind on some milestones but he's so sweet!
This was almost me. Baby's heart rate was consistently dropping for a while and wouldn't fully stabilize with repositioning, I was early on in induction and was only at 1 cm. They went to check me one last time before taking me to c-section and, miraculously, I was at 9cm and could start pushing! From there baby came out in 20 minutes
And this how I ended up getting an emergency c-section a week overdue because my uterus and cervix couldn't agree if someone remembered to set the oven timer
That’s exactly what happened to me! I was induced 2 weeks after I was due and I stopped dilating at 6 cm. By the time they decided a c section was best, they had increased my petocin to 22. They said they normally cap it at 16…. Well soon after the increase to 22 the contractions got super intense and on top of each other to the point that there was no rest period between. I was in severe pain and my son’s heart rate was becoming irregular when it had been very steady throughout my labor during the first 2.5 days. My baby boy was born at 12:03 am on a Saturday morning. He’s now a year old and the happiest baby I’ve ever seen ❤❤❤ he’s my joy and my angel, even when he’s not being such an angel lol
My cousin had to do have an c section but they had to kinda rush to get out the baby and I felt so bad for her bc they did not have enough time to let the painkillers work but the baby is healthy now and so is she ❤
The same thing kinda happened to me. I was already 39 weeks and my BP was extremely high it was 185/113 and they decide to induce my labour unfortunately whilst doing that the baby's heart rate kept increasing so much so that when they checked how far long I was, I wasn't even dilated so they suggested a csection which I did and I got to welcome a healthy little baby boy

Asking for permission even when it is vital to check the cervix is so important. Consent is always helpful.

I’m at a birth center and even then I’ll be denying cervical checks
@@jbb8261 yes!! I agree I had 2 hospital births 2 at an independent owned birth center and 1 at home unassisted , truly different experiences I love my midwife she was great and the unassisted birth was great too! Hospital ones just weren't good experiences for me,
I hope all goes well for you! Congratulations!!
Forceps and hemostats are used in most surgeries so they probably just had to go to the other department to grab more autoclaved Forceps because they ran out of clean ones in that department.... that being said, I know nothing about birth, just knowledge of surgical procedures in veterinary settings from experience
Edit: oh nevermind I am every very wrong!! Sorry lol I looked it up and I had no idea that there were forceps specifically for birthing 😳
THATS RIGHT YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND SAY IT “it’s a beautiful day to save lives”
The nurse was like “For the last time, your not Derek Sheppard”
Love the Greys Anatomy reference tho, it’s one of my fave shows
This happened to us just last month! The surgion did a great job and I barely feel my incison anymore most of the time and kiddo is AOK! It'a such a trip how fast ya'll can prep, what with all the cleaning and draping and medications and getting the equipment set up and the epidural cranked up to 11 and everyone situated and ready to do their jobs when no one even knew this was gonna happen till, as you say, it escilated quickly. It was 13 minutes from the doorway to baby! I'm still reeling on that part, but in a good way. 😂 Such an amazing choreographed dance really. Fast but not even a little chaotic. I'm in AWE.
this JUST happened to me the other day, the nurses and doc were confused but he ended up having his cord double wrapped around his neck and contractions were tightening it. he cried right away coming out tho, we are blessed!! I ended up taking petocyn and epidural and i'm soo happy i did and didn't endanger my angel any longer
✨️ Cascade of interventions ✨️
This for sure can end up happening sometimes 👎🏻
@@mamanursetina “sometimes” is one of the funniest underestimations I have heard in a while.
Let’s go with FREQUENTLY
@@2CanadianEhlet’s go with 9/10 times
That’s why I chose a hospital (I’m in Germany) where giving birth on your back was the exception, just like seeing the doctors before the actual birth, and even then only looking in through the door unless the midwives (trained to German standard) called for help.
That kind of privileged, spoiled rotten ableism kills women, like me, who are having serious complications... And babies, like mine, who *required* specialty prescription formula and tube feeding to survive.
Because we're not ALL spoiled rotten.
Thankfully we aren't all killed or maimed by the ableist bigotry of the selfish woo sellers and profiteers.
Our imperfect lives are EQUALLY VALUABLE, regardless if ableist, selfish parasites can exploit us for their own profit.
Privileged types lack compassion, empathy, creativity and resilience because their lives are obscenely easy.
Never take advice from spoiled rotten privileged bigots, they will kill others just so they can PRETEND that privilege is the "norm".
The Derek shepherd lines get me every single time
The freaking mcdreamy quote i cant lol
I had exactly this scenario happen to me with my first baby. It was terrifying. I think it was the most scared I had ever been up until that point in my life. They had me lay on my side and it helped!
Me on my second as I attempted a vbac. I labored completely at home . Water broke in the car and arrived at ER ready to push. Completely still wish I hadn’t given into fear and kept pushing
Canu Tell how cuz I'm 39 weeks pregnant and want exact same as u
I had this exact situation. I was very scared for my baby. Luckily my husband held my hand the entire time and was so supportive. She is now a healthy 9 yr old. ❤❤
I swear, they practically look for reasons to intervene in the hospital 😂 homebirth for the win!
My son pulled this stunt the doctor gave me an hour or two and threaten me with a C-section I said “not my first” (meaning I’m not going to have my first C-section with my first child😅). He came out not even 30 minutes later. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 We now how a clear communication today even when we don’t say the full sentences
This exact thing happened to me, i didnt care if it wasnt exactly what I'd planned, i just wanted baby safe. Now hes almost 2 and he is sweet, funny, and so smart. (:
This happened to me and they rolled me back and forth for half an hour through transition. It SUCKED but he was my fourth and I was able to deliver quickly.
Ugh. VERY true. I went from “let’s check that baby because he’s a week ‘overdue’” to me crying in a hospital delivery room because an OBGYN I had met ONCE during my pregnancy said if I left the hospital to even go get my overnight bag I’d be “signing out” AMA because I was already pre-registered at the hospital and wouldn’t it be TERRIBLE if something happened to my baby NOW, at the end of my pregnancy?!
Instead I got induced, then LOADED up on PIT which was horrible then when they backed off PIT because my Cervix was progressing by my son wasn’t they discovered he was jammed in my hip.
So emergency C-section!! Which I was eventually put to sleep for because they don’t let you know ahead of time that if you have certain back/spine issues epis dont work. Couldn’t even get the needle into the area.
My husband and I weren’t there for the birth of our son because of unnecessary medical interventions. It caused me some MAJOR bonding issues and horrible depression.
I’d never go to those OBs again.
@@missscarlet7902I sincerely hope that you someday find it in yourself to regret making these hurtful and uncalled for responses.
@@missscarlet7902c sections and birth trauma have a direct relationship with ppd, which can make it hard to bond with your baby. This is basically common knowledge at this point. Maybe you didn’t read the comment, but there were medical interventions used here that weren’t necessary and could’ve avoided the surgery and trauma. There’s many risks and complications that can happen from pitocin just as described in this story. Maybe baby wouldn’t have gotten stuck if they allowed labor to continue naturally or tried a different method of induction. Your attitude and judgement is gross and seriously needs to be checked.
@@missmaddox hey dumbass, if not remembering your baby being born hurts your ability to bond with them oh so much, you're the problem ❤️
@@missmaddox guess she should have stayed at home so her and the baby could die. Then she wouldn't have to worry about medical intervention to help remove the baby that was stuck in her body. 🤡🤷🏻♀️
@@missmaddox you must be a doctor and was there examining her to decide they werent necessary. Surely you're not a pathetic, unqualified woman just bitching at the mouth.
NOT THE DEREK SHEPHERD QUOTE IM CRYING RNN
Thats exactly what happened to me. I was 25wks
My daughter was 1lb 2oz
Shes 2 today and very healthy!
Same for me, both times! Mine are 11, & 5 this month.
It doesn’t even seem like they were so tiny now! 🥺
My 2nd had a hole in her heart, had to get a g-tube & a tracheostomy tube, which last year had surgery to remove it.
Aaaawwww mama! I’m so proud of you as I know how tough it is to have a preemie! You rock and your little love is so strong! 🫂
the derek shepard quote love it❤❤❤
This sounds similar to how I ended up with my emergency c section.
As a person with GAD I can’t imagine being in this situation, I think I would just pass out when starting to feel the contractions 🥲
This happened to my mom when I was Born but it was the epidural that dropped my heart rate
I'm ready for part 2!
OK DEREK SHEPHERD "It's a beautiful day to save lives" 😭😭😭
I love the Derek Shepard reference every single Damn time ❤❤😂😂😂
There are so many other options before jumping to a csection. I had mt first baby with a midwife and it was such a great experience. This time around I'm in a small town and go to the closest obgyn and im terrified of him being pushy like this
A simple position change for mom can eliminate heart decels for baby. I’m sure they had her flat on her back. 🙄🙄🙄
It's a beautiful day to save lives!
Everyday is an amazing day to save lives 🙏
The “I’m scared” is so real 😭
My mum had an emergency c section with my little brother. My mum without is knowing at the time has arthritis in her spine and a compressed disc so when they went in with the needle to numb her they hit bone, mum screamed, and down went my stepdad. A nurse caught him but he's 6"7 and was too heavy to hold so she had to slide him down the wall to the floor so he didn't hit his head. He sat on a chair for the rest of the operation.
I heard somewhere that a lot of times doctors will push for C-sections because either theres someone else waiting for the room, they are getting off shift soon and a c-section is fadter than natural labour or they just dont want to wait for the natural labour.
Always ask questions when a doctor recommends a serious procedure.
No absolutely not how that works, that would be considered medical malpractice and doctors don’t go through 8 years of school and 4 years more of interning to put patients in danger
What would you suggest to ask? I'm going natural birth anytime now, and I can just tell my hospital system is going to be very quick to follow routine procedural things. Like having a baby is different every second, for every person. It's like they don't know what to do if the birth doesn't follow the "if this, then..." programming
It also makes the hospital a lot of money!
@@eeeypeee there is WAYYYYYYYYYY to many birth stories with needless interventions to be so confident about that.
The fact of the matter is: a hospital has to work economically, and births do not like to go after a clock. In order to just give the mothers and children the time for natural progression, but also be ready at anytime for everything that can or will happen, they would end up having several empty rooms rather often. I don't think any average-not-elite hospital would be either willing or even able to work that way.
So even "the good" doctors (which not all are!) may not really have a choice. And as for consequences of medical malpractice - there is A LOT you can get away with, for different reasons.
@@eeeypeeethat is one hundred percent how most doctors operate.
Love the McDreamy reference 😂😂❤
"Its a beautiful day to save lives,lets have some fun."
- the wise BRAIN doctor once said 💀💀💀👏👏
I am very glad with my 3rd baby they told me ahead of time I may need a c and that they had it planned the entire last month that i was 99% going to be a c section bc of baby not turning (possibly due to the cord on her neck, im not 100% sure i remember living upside down that last month trying to get her to turn but only shifting side to side).
Any mama that has to have an EMC one; you are mentally stronger than most for going thru that.
I was induced. Got in at 3pm and at 2 am i was finally with baby on our room. Its crazy how scary it is, how scared you could become just to hear any "bad" notice like that, even if it is fixable
This is exactly what happened to me! He’s 3 and It haunts me to this day that I didn’t even question it.
same story over here, induced at 42 weeks..Had some little contractions during the last two weeks of the pregnancy but nothing major, came to find out my water broke for a while, unnoticed.. during inducing storm contractions, 14 hours. Dilation didn't progress. Epidural didn't seem to work they tried 21 times, and still have the photos of my back. Morfine pump didn't work either, daughters heart rate was dangerously low, emergency C-section full anaesthesia. Having a healthy daughter now 3 years old, the most scared but beautiful story of my life.
I only just started watching Greys a few weeks ago so it’s wonderful to understand the shepherd reference now
My friend went through this exact same situation. She now has a beautiful baby girl who's almost 7 months old ❤
They said the same thing to me with my first baby. They even scared me into getting an epidural because they thought I’d need an emergency csection. I pushed her out despite my crappy ass dr. The heart rate drops because they’re literally being squeezed the crap out of with each contraction.
With my second baby she HATED IT and kicked me super hard with and between each contraction. She hated the experience so much in fact that I DID have to have an emergency csection. 36+ hours of labor and 6 hours of pushing for her stubborn butt to stay put. No cooperation from her at all. My all natural vbac after that was amazingly easy and super fast.
On Sunday when I got to the hospital I was checked and was 6cm. But I felt a little pushy. 10 minutes later the monitors weren’t picking up babies heart easily so the midwife went to do another check and was going to put a clip on babies head. Well as soon as she popped her fingers in……. I pushed them right back out with the head. Fastest delivery ever 😂
Oh my gee, this was the exact of my first birth... my Dr was female however... excited to see all.
Did you end up having a regular birth with your later births?
*vaginally I mean, not normal
@@alyssaherrholz3221 sadly, no. I am older and took quite some time to heal from my first so consulting with my Dr, we decided to go with a repeat.
This was the exact thing that happened to me. They kept slowing down my labor because of the babys heartbeat and then after 14 hours they put me into emergency c section but after telling them that I was allergic to opiods they still gave them to me and I was going in and out of consciousness for nearly a whole day. I cried when I woke up because I didn't get to nurse my son or be the first to hold him
The mcdreamy line is just the best
Ran into this issue with my baby, and the nurse told me that the Dr was going to come in and use forceps if I couldn't push my baby out soon. She coached me through. I had to push every other contraction due to the baby's heart rate. It was HARD! But we made it! ❤️
Yup, same thing happened with me. Baby's hr was dropping bc he was sitting on the chord. I wasn't having contractions & also had pre-eclampsia though.
This happened to me 8 months ago! I was at 6 cm and my baby’s heartbeat was dropping. So I was on all four oxygen in my face rushed to an emergency C-section. She’s 8 months now and thriving! ❤
I know that "it's a beautiful day to save lives" 😅😂
😂😂😂😂not the doctor bare footed😅😅 i die
Literally exactly what happened to me, except I got to 7. It was so scary hearing his heart rate drop to almost nothing and having to be rushed into a c section!
This was me with my first vbac doc suggested an epidural to help me and baby relax and His heart rate was to back to normal in no time😊. I was so grateful for my OB. I asked for epi to be brought down when it was time deliver and I've had successful vbacs since then ❤
I didn’t think of that, that you could pause the epidural to know when to push. Thanks for the tip!
This is EXACTLY my labor story! I know how mine ended, can’t wait to see how this one ends! Popcorn please!
That's what happened with my daughter. After 24 hours I was only 2 cm and my daughters heart rate dropped after contractions.
Me too
I’m totally walking into a room going choo choo tomorrow. Okay maybe just the nurses station.
I was devastated when I got that news. O felt like my labor experience was stolen from me. We also have only been able to have one child, I will never get a second chance at that experience.
The incompetence is unreal. When I had mine at home they just shift you and baby into another position until the heart rate stabilizes.
Came here to say this 😂 like C-section? Really? Just get baby and mom into a new spot! No wonder the C-section rate is so high in hospitals. They're practically looking for an excuse 😂 I'm about to have my 5th homebirth (7th child) and I swear I would have to be dying to go to a hospital ever again.
Not the doctor Shepard line 😍😍
I showed up to my induction time in active labor. Had my water broken and a few hours later they gave me pitocin. Then my baby’s heart started dropping with every contraction. I was going on like hour 3 1/2 being at the hospital and they said a c-section would be the safest option due to her heart rate dropping. She came as they were prepping me for surgery 😅. It’s been her way or the highway ever since lol. But I got to the hospital at 6pm and had her a little before 10 pm. It was a crazy experience and I’m a little scared of ever having Pitocin again.
😂 Thank you, Dr. McDreamy!😊
I like that he asks to check her cervix and doesn’t just do it. :)
the greys reference lmao
This is exactly what happened to me...but add that I wasn't progressing fast enough for the doc and he tried putting me on pitocin (which I declined because he couldn't tell me.why it was needed other than to speed things up and didn't have a good reason for that other than he had other things to do).
This is why I push for intermittent monitoring. Being hooked up constantly gives surgeons more opportunities to preform surgeries. Shocking!😳
The oversized coat really cracked me up. This was my fear in going to a hospital, that the emergency c-section would be suggested first thing. I know it doesn't really happen like that all the time though. Nothing wrong with needing some urgency for baby but the prospect of a c section scared me, especially an unplanned one.
I'm actually sad I caught this so early. Now I have to wait for part 2!
I did feel the same about it but I did need an emergency C-section. Turned out to be not that scary and I am currently healing really well! I know it's not the same for everyone but it turned out to be a pretty good decision for my baby and I!
@@mrlsdutch I'm so happy to hear it turned out well for you and your baby! And I'm also incredibly happy to hear that you're healing well. That's a whole level of healing I didn't have to deal with. I definitely recognize that it's the way things go sometimes but it felt extra scary to me in an already daunting process. I appreciate you sharing your experience with me, takes some of the fangs off of it :)
I had a great planned c-section! I have brain damage so it’s less likely I’ll die during childbirth to have a c-section but mannn everyone in the room was amazing and I’m so glad it was an educational hospital so a student could take the absolute best photos of my son’s first breaths 😭😭😭 it is scary unplanned but honestly having a planned c section was amazing, I didn’t even have any lingering pain… never took a medication except Tylenol, I actually felt right back to normal on day 4… One and done but good birth experience when planned 🤷🏻♀️
maybe I’ll alleviate someone’s stress even if it’s not yours but I know you’re a great mama and I hope you have a great day babes 💞
I was part of a mom’s and baby group shortly after delivering. At one point our group leader asked which of us had a C section in the end… and out of the group of approx 20 os us the number of women who did was astonishingly high! I know I NEEDED an emergency C section because my pre-eclampsia spiraled out of control (she was delivered 2 weeks early) BUT I doubt every one of the women who did was in a similar situation. I suspect a lot of them were at the doctor’s suggestion.
@@christinevr7698 First, I'm so happy that you and your baby are okay! And second, I would bet you're right. There might've been some that probably didn't absolutely *need* to have a c-section. From what I understand, sometimes it's proposed in a way that makes it feel more urgent than it really is so people will get scared and make a decision in a higher stress state of mind, and my care teams always made it clear that I can almost always ask for a few minutes to think it over and consider (unless it really is an emergent situation). I don't know that many care teams tell their patients that.
Exactly what happened to me. Except there were like 10-12 drs on one side of the room freaking out and I would ask if everything is ok they would turn around and say “oh everything is just fine no worries” turn back around and freak out. Seemed like they drew short straws to tell me that baby wasn’t doing well and needed an emergency c-section
I literally just gave birth 4 days ago and this was almost my labor and delivery outcome. I labored for 17 hours. My provider placed me on pitocin, and my epidural kept weaning in and out, so getting through my contractions were horrendous. The first time they put me on pitocin, my baby’s heart rate dropped a few times. Nurses and providers rushed in and my midwife deadass looked at me and said if baby’s heart rate goes down again, we’re going into emergency C-section. I was not happy to hear that as this was my attempt at having a VBAC. The look on me and my husband’s faces, we just knew that this is not what we wanted. They gave me medication to stop my contractions for awhile to give me a break. They started up pitocin on me again. Then eventually after several hours of horrendous contractions, with an ebb and flow epidural, and intense upper back/neck pain from the IV fluid shaking (At one point my anesthesiologist didn’t know what to do about my epidural being wonky and was gonna almost administer fentanyl to me for the upper back and neck pain, a BIG no. But thank goodness the epidural started working its magic again and the pain disappeared) - I dilated all the way to 10cm. I’m pretty sure if my memory serves me right/or a blurry one at that, I pushed out my baby after 30 mins. The same midwife who told me about a possible C-section, was the same one who said, “We’re determined to have a VBAC today.” And a successful VBAC I did end up having and I’m so grateful for. I would go through it all over again just to meet our daughter. Shout out to my amazing birth team!!
My honeys eyes never left my face while he was in there.
“Daddy, would you like to cut the cord?”
“Nope.” 🤣
I was induced at week 42. It took three days and a EDS related cervical dystocia (while he was already crowning 😅) with me and my son nearly dead before I got an emergency c section. But when the doctor finally realized something was really wrong he called it. Fun times, fun times.
I felt weird when i had to call out (from work) because of really bad nausea that morning then it was 6 am and i felt something was wrong and thought I was having contractions. My boss didn't seem pleased because i called out on mostly every wednesday and it's when the truck came with what we needed. I ended up going to the hospital and they couldn't tell (it was a new and small hospital) so they sent me to a bigger one downtown. They were going to induce him because there was a hole in his heart and they didnt know what it was. They tried inducing me and his heartbeat kept dropping and then i ended up having an emergency C-section at 36 weeks. He ended up in the nicu and almost died 5 times from his heart stopping and was released close to his due date. He's now 19 months old and healthy. He's a little behind on some milestones but he's so sweet!
This was almost me. Baby's heart rate was consistently dropping for a while and wouldn't fully stabilize with repositioning, I was early on in induction and was only at 1 cm. They went to check me one last time before taking me to c-section and, miraculously, I was at 9cm and could start pushing! From there baby came out in 20 minutes
Why my heart is racing while I'm watching this video?
OMG, this was my exact labour experience. 6 cm dilated, decreased fetal HR, & off to emergency C-section. Baby will be 22 years old next month 👶♥️
No gloves?!😂 this is too good!
Geez!
My first had this issue. Pitocin got my body to do what was necessary. Baby born!
My last 2 babies...epidural all the way!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH, THE GREYS REFERENCE DEREK WAS MY FAV WHY DID THEY KILL HIM OFF
Same here. First was an emergency C-section after her heart rate kept dropping. I just did a planned C-section with #2 to skip the entire labir part 😂
You have such beautiful blue eyes.
Feel this i was 7 almost 8 cm when i need a emergancy csection. My son had wrapped the cord around his neck. Scary but best decision
The answer from the doctor always being a c-section makes me laugh
And this how I ended up getting an emergency c-section a week overdue because my uterus and cervix couldn't agree if someone remembered to set the oven timer
*well that escalated quickly* 😂
That’s exactly what happened to me! I was induced 2 weeks after I was due and I stopped dilating at 6 cm. By the time they decided a c section was best, they had increased my petocin to 22. They said they normally cap it at 16…. Well soon after the increase to 22 the contractions got super intense and on top of each other to the point that there was no rest period between. I was in severe pain and my son’s heart rate was becoming irregular when it had been very steady throughout my labor during the first 2.5 days. My baby boy was born at 12:03 am on a Saturday morning. He’s now a year old and the happiest baby I’ve ever seen ❤❤❤ he’s my joy and my angel, even when he’s not being such an angel lol
22?! Good Lord! No wonder you and baby were in such distress! It sounds like those docs did you a disservice.
My cousin had to do have an c section but they had to kinda rush to get out the baby and I felt so bad for her bc they did not have enough time to let the painkillers work but the baby is healthy now and so is she ❤
The same thing kinda happened to me. I was already 39 weeks and my BP was extremely high it was 185/113 and they decide to induce my labour unfortunately whilst doing that the baby's heart rate kept increasing so much so that when they checked how far long I was, I wasn't even dilated so they suggested a csection which I did and I got to welcome a healthy little baby boy
Not the Derek quote 😂
