Hey you guys. I have been kind of scarce since the birth of DD but I am begining to worry about a good friend of mines so I kind had to make time to get on here.
She is a first time mama and she text messaged me and said she was on the way to L&D on the morning of the 12th because she had been having contractions for 5 hours and they were now 5 minutes apart. So I texted her back congrats and that she could do it (she wants to try for a natural birth) but my message never was read by her. We have the same phone carrier so I know when she recieves my messages. But I figured either her phone was off because duh she was in labor or else she wasn't getting a signal in the hospital. So I just decided to wait patiently to hear back from her.
But here it is, the night of the 14th and my message still hasn't been recieved by her phone.
I am really starting to worry about her. I know I always stay in the hospital for the manditory 24 hours and then I am at the nurses station rushing them to get my paperwork done so I can leave. Is it normal to stay there longer than 24 hours?
I even thought of calling the hospital but her husband is really not too fond of me and I feel it would cause undo stress on her if I were to do that so I am not going to.
But should I worry? Is it normal for her to be in the hospital so long? I know as soon as she can use a phone I am going to be first to hear from her because we are really close friends and our babies were due a few days apart which made us so excited to share our babies with eachother. But I am starting to get to the point where I am wondering if the birth went ok. What do you all think?
