re: Call doctor or go into hospital? Help!

Quoting nursemaya -mommy to 2:" keep in mind the quick first labor stories are the exception to the rule and the vast majority of the ... [snip!] ... afraid of getting to the hospital at 8cm and delivering quickly, but really if you think about it, wouldn' that be ideal??? "

Hell yes lol
Better than sitting there for 10 + hours waiting for progress and possibly being sent home.

smurfing right! I showed up for my "induction" and was 8cm. It was an Ideal birth

If you are that far along dilated, do they still induce?

Possibly TMI but I just went to the bathroom. After close contractions for an hour there is blood in my underwear! What does that mean?!

Does it look like bloody snot? Or just straight up blood?

All out of bloddy snot, that was yesterday literally all day. It's just blood

Brown, pink or bright red?

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" If you are that far along dilated, do they still induce?"

I was scheduled for an induction that morning. I had been 4.5cm in the clinic a week prior. Came in at 6:30 for the induction and was contracting (I usually did contract every 5 min, had been for 2 months) and was found to be 8.5cm so they broke my water (technically an augmentation of labor)

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" Brown, pink or bright red?"

Brown and red

bloody show - normal part of labor. I would get ready to go in.

Breaking your water isn't consider induction is it?
And op, brown is old blood, but if you have bright red blood, i was told that is cause to get to the hospital asap.

Quoting Chelsea Dawns Mama:" If you are that far along dilated, do they still induce?"

Yep i got induced when i was 8cm.

You should be on your way to the hospital and call your doctor

Is bright red normal for a bloody show? Everytime i've been in the hospital(last time was tonight) they told me if i had bright red blood that i needed to come in asap
