sidehop Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I talked to my daughter today. She had a complication after the birth. I guess they allowed her walk to the restroom and she said that she fainted in the bathroom. Her boyfriend actually caught her and noticed there was blood all over the floor. He yelled for the nurses, they had to wake her up with one of those ammonia sticks. She said they didn't give her any blood, they just gave her some meds in her IV. She said she was super pale. Poor thing. I didn't know hospitals let you walk around unassisted so soon after giving birth but then again I haven't had a baby in almost 18 years. She said "mom, it looked like a crime scene in there" Ewwww Oh no I hope she's okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metrogirl Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 She's feeling good and the baby is doing well. She told me that he came out screaming and kept at it for a bit and then daddy went to talk to him and he started wailing even louder. LOL When he was finally left alone, he was quiet. I guess he's not a people person. *shrugs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangletsbang Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Hayden, this is your mother speaking..get your big feet [thanks to trey] out of my rib cage. Thank you. Ladies, question.. My doctor mentioned something about evening primrose oil to aid in the softening of my cervix since his head is down so low..he said we would discuss it at my next appointment more when i'll be 36 weeks. I did a little online research, thanks to my mommy forum i'm a part of..and went ahead and bought a bottle from GNC of evening primrose capsules - 1300mg per capsule. I haven't taken anything yet..but i've heard you take the capsules orally as well as poking a hole in one and inserting it vaginally before bed. I'm not doing it until my doctor gives me the okay but has anyone had any success with this? I'm not trying to induce labor or anything..just simply help soften the cervix..but i'm so clueless with this stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortpants Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 I did the EPO the last week of my pregnancy and to be honest it did nothing. I was still only dialed a fingertip at 41 weeks. In all truthfulness, I only did the oral for about a week and they were about to have me start the insertion, but then decided to induce instead. I do know of other women that HAVE had results with the EPO though, seems to make the most difference when inserted rather than taken orally. It isn't known to induce, just soften the cervix and get it ready for labor. Honestly, walking and sex are the standard best practices for inducing / prepping for labor. Semen softens the cervix also and walking helps keep everything limber and uses gravity to help the LO work his way down. Good luck!! Sooooo close!!

Ac143 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 MG - Glad your daughter is doing ok!! DANG - I been taking the EPO since week 36 but only orally & from what my dr told me I have a very soft cervix lol...so maybe its doing something or maybe I just have a soft cervix lol...IDK. I heard it was suppose to help with delivery too.. I guess taking it can't hurt, but I wouldn't expect anything else from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ac143 Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Thanks, ac. How many milligrams are you taking? I started taking 1000mg pills once a day at week 36 then upped it to 2 pills at week 37 & that's what I stayed at but I know women who take a lot more plus vaginally.

metrogirl Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Where are my pregnant girls this morning? Mama Metro doing a baby check here. I finally spent a few minutes with Nathan yesterday. I picked them up from the hospital. He's a little cutie, I have to admit. His sister was just gushing over him. She waited anxiously for his arrival and now that he is here, she is just the best biggest sister ever. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestialagape54 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 Hello mama metro Luna present, or should I say not present. I've been sick as a dog since Thursday. Pretty bad flu. Other than that baby is good kicking away... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
