This is going to sound so selfish, but I just have to say it!!!

[prayerful wife]

I'm currently 34wks.  I was put on Procardia to stop my contractions, but even now (maybe b/c I've been on it for a while) it doesnt seem to help anymore.  I've been having contractions about every 7mins and they are getting worse and they are really taking my breathe away making it hard for me to inhale.  My Doc wants me to go to L&D but honestly I dont plan on going yet.  
Chancellor is 5lbs and according to the amnio his lungs are already mature.  I was told by my regular OB that he wouldnt stop my labor anymore, but my high-risk specialist wants me to get another MAG drip to see if that helps.  I'm only 5'0,  I'm weighing in at 135lbs, I have a very small frame and frankly I cant take this sh*t anymore.  I hurt all day long and spend all night long crying b/c I cant get comfy and go to sleep.  I'm snapping on the kids, cursing out my husband, and I'm starting to ask myself what the hell did I get myself into?
I'm going to L&D when I know it's too late for them to stop my labor.  It sounds selfish but what else is there left to gain out of this pregnancy except for more weight on the baby, which I doubt my uterus can handle anyway.  I'm desperate for some answers, better yet a solution.  I have to have this baby soon.  I will not make it another 44days!  HELP!!!!!!

honey, it does not sound selfish at all.. I am only 22 weeks pregnant, and I am lucky my husband has put up with me this far. bottom line as much as we all want this, being pregnant is one of the hardest jobs, not everyone has a good easy pregnancy, and it can and does take its toll on you, your in my prayers, and you can vent on here whenever you want.

I dont blame you, I took those meds with my second child and t hey were horrible! I just had my lil guy at 35.1 weeks and he was fine, had to stay 3 days in the hospital , which stunk but it was for precautionary reasons If you deliver yours will probaly stay a few extra days, but all worth it. They get great care!

I was so done too and at 35 weeks my dr said he would not stop me either and I had him the next day. I wish  you the best of luck, I am sure your lil one will be here soon and healthy as can be =)
Keep us posted.

Hun, I had my third child at 34 wks and she is just fine. As a matter of fact other than being a tad bit smaller than my first two, there was no difference. If the babys lungs are developed than your biggest obstacle is already complete as far as the welfare of the baby. Personally, I would do the same as you are doing. The doctors have a responsibility to do and say what they are saying but I highly doubt your baby is any worse off being born today than in another 4-6 weeks.......just lighter.
Let us know....

I'm back!
I ended up hurting so bad that I went in at about midnight.  I'm 1 1/2cm dialated 80% effaced and at -2 station.  The nurse I had was such a b*tch!  The high risk specialist told her to give me a shot of Terb to stop the contractions and b/c I refused it, she became really nasty.  She told me well we're not going to give you anything to help you progress so why dont you just take the shot.  I told that heffa that I didnt appreciate her attitude and if she cant respect my choice then she needed to pass my chart off to someone else with better people skills.
I guess what kills me is my regular OB is giving me the green light and the high risk OB isnt, especially when they know the lungs are mature.
I guess at this point I'm going to keep going about my day and when Chancellor feels like making his debut I'll be the 1st to know.  I go back to the OB on the 12th so if I havent delivered by then hopefully I'll be 5 or 6 cms!  Thanks ladies!

I dont like any medications.. or anything these drs like to throw at you.. these days.. If he is good to go.. why dont they leave well enough alone. and let mother nature take care of things. sounds like he will be fine... good for you for standing up to them...

Good for you. You are entitled to have a say so and also be respected.
Chancellor will be here before you know it.
