with my son my pregnancy was no fun! one night around 24 weeks i felt my stomach get tight. i was a new mom an d iddn't know what was giong on so i called L&D and they had me come in, told me i was a fingertip dialated and put me on bedrest. things were good, then on thanksgiving i felt him start "headbutting" me, i woke up the next morning and was bleeding (bloody show) and went to the hospital and was 3 cm, it took me 2 hours to get to 5 after that and then 30 minutes to get to 10, the little squirt was sideways so i got a c section.

No. I spent two weeks there and when the round of antibiotics was over, they sent me home and said they'd done all they could and now all there was left to do was wait. That was it. I had to wait. They gave me very very little hope considering how early I was.
