First of all, with the first baby she labored for like 14 hours and never dilated so they did a csection. Second one was just scheduled. I dont know her medical issues, but I know lots of women vbac. She has medicade and Im sorry, but she has crappy doctors. Last month when she had contractions, they didnt even see her, just told her to go to the hospital.
Ok, so today:My sister in law is in labour. She called me at noon to ask if what she felt were contractions (hey, two csections, she hasnt had a contraction in years). Anyway, they were. And while we were talking they went from five min. apart to four. Then I told her to sit, rest, drink water for about twenty min. to see if they would stop. (She was out shopping with her 18mo old). They didn't, then she was three min. apart, so she called her sister to pick up her older child from school and her mom to come help her with her toddler. Then she drove herself to the hospital. By then, two min. apart. They took her right up to L&D and thats the last I heard.
Everyone is freaking out cuz she went shopping. Blaming her. Well, she wasnt In labor when she went shopping. It started while she was out. A month ago she was put on bedrest to keep from having her early. I say, since she's term, she was ok to go back to full activities. My mom says no cuz since she had a previous section, contractions are dangerous for her because the uterus could rupture. Any reason she couldnt have a normal labor?
Ok, just got a call. She's admitted. Her doc isn't on call and so the on call doc doesn't want to do the csection. So....they put her on IV fluids to try and stop labor. They are trying to stop labor on a full term baby. Anyway, they said if her labor doesnt stop in an hour, they will do the csection. She hasnt dilated at all.

: Then again, it doesn't sound like the rest of her family there would be much help either.
