re: Need info on resealing waters after early breaking(26 weeks)

I'm just letting you know what could/would happen. I just don't think they would allow you to go that long if you are still in the hospital, the benefits don't outweigh the risks at that point.

I agree with this. Right now the goal is to have a living baby with as few health problems as possible. Right now at 26 weeks, it is better for you to stay pregnant, because the baby is so premature. That doesn't mean there isn't a risk to staying pregnant. In fact, some hospitals would induce right away after your membranes rupture.. premature or not because the risk to the mom is so high when it breaks this early.

I am not against natural labor. I am against natural to the point where it puts the baby at risk needlessly. Labor is only for a few hours. It doesn't always end up being picture perfect. Living baby to me is much more important than 40 weeks gestation. I don't think induction is always a good thing either, but would you tell a mom with severe pre-e that they should not induce because their baby isn't 40 weeks yet? it's the same type of thing. Your life and the life of your baby is in danger every day that you stay pregnant from here on out. The trick for the dr's is to decide when it is so dangerous for you and the baby that one of you might die and to get the baby out before that point.

Refusing to induce because of some ideal is frankly a horrible reason to not induce.

You don't understand that they have to "allow" me to do whatever I want. And when I talked to them about it they were extremely open to letting me go as far as I wanted if it gets to that point.

Agreed!!

I'm just trying to nicely tell you that once they decide the baby comes out it doesn't really matter what you want, unless you want to leave. They can be as open as ever to letting you go to 40 weeks, but I can almost guarantee you they will not let you in the long run. It's to risky, but I'm not going to sit here and argue with you. I had the same talks for two pregnancies.

Not the ideal that I don't want to end up in a csection with my son in the NICU. If there's an infection I willl let them induce. Otherwise there is NO reason.

that isn't true at all. No woman HAS to submit to what a doctor says. she wants control of her body. nothing wrong with that, and it shouldn't be discouraged. lots of women go against medical advice.

I absolutely agree. keep sticking to your guns, your amazing.

Then I'll leave and have my home birth lol
If I can make it to 37 weeks there's no reason I can't have the home birth I want.

I'm not going to sit here and argue with you, but when it comes to risking your child's life there are steps they can take. My kid would be dead if hadn't had her when I did and listened to the doctors. I had no sign of infection what so ever. When my placenta came out it was so infected they couldn't believe she was alive. That happened in 2 days.

They need to monitor a baby that has been sitting in broke water. Most of the time they run a course of antibiotics to be safe. You seem to care more about your birth then the baby.

Wow. This woman is under a lot of stress, she isn't in an ideal situation either way and you want to turn it into a debate?

so.. while you were pregnant they had no idea. I see.


this is completely different. if she gets an infection she will know.

How would she know? I didn't. I was sitting in hospital on antibiotics being monitored. Had my body not just naturally had the baby she would have died between monitoring or I would have have an emergency c-section when she started dying.

Yes they are monitoring him for 20 min every 6 hours which I can just as easily do at home  
They ARE running antibiotics. I am ONLY 26 WEEKS. I will be here at least 8 weeks unless my sac reseals. They routinely induce at 34 weeks but said if I want to go further that's fine. If there's an infection, which they WILL know, I will be induced sooner which I'm obviously ok with. If there's nothing wrong I will not be induced.
