What was the...

Reading for contractions on the moniter thing when you were in labour ?
Or if you haven't had your baby yet have you ever been on the machine, if so what were you reaching and were they worried ?

Please don't read and run, I'm trying to get as many opinions as possible! Thanks x

omg i never looked or took notice and i was hooked up to that machine the whole time i was in labour!!  

Wow. I couldn't stop looking at it when I was in LOL

I saw mine when I was in preterm labor, they were concerned but I dont know how to read it. I just saw huge mountains of contractions

i remember freaking out when i was watching it when i was 35 weeks and in hospital and the noise stopped and nothing was happening! that was scary

Usually the graph paper only goes upto 100 and it goes in increments of 10 down the left hand side.. Mine did anyway lol x

it wasn't that close to see, I was to preoccupied with stuff my doctor was doing to care about the paper

I think you're on about bubba's heartrate hun, but yeah it's scary when that happens.. Although it's generally because baby has moved x

Hmm. the night before I had her I was hooked up to the machines. That was before labor even started. I dont remember whatit said the contractions were when they actually started... And I dont ever remember looking at it when we went back later the day I had her.. LOL I cant even remember if I had the monitors on me the day I delivered.. lol

oh yeah, haha
im tired! im not with it!  

My contractions were so strong I didn't give two craps what they looked like on the monitor. I was feeling them, I didn't need to see them lol

I guess I do remember being on the monitor towards the end because I had an Epi and couldnt feel my contractions, but while pushing no one was telling me "Your having one" so I had to look at the monitor my self to see when the line would jump... But I dont remember how high it would spike..
