i wont be in a wheelchair all day long
ill be there for a few hours

its saturday and im going to the mall

laura i understand how you feel and what youre trying to say but im not the type of person to just do nothing

travis is trying to help as much as he can so i dont have to move around because hes paranoid. i honestly dont think going to the mall for few hours will hurt. ill call the doctor again tomarrow and ask her again though. but when i asked her she never said no

she did say she wouldnt "recommend" me going trick or treating though
which i did
and i shouldnt have gone and should have listened to the doctor. but im stubborn and i wanted to go.

i dont want her to come early
but at the smae time i dont want to be in bed all day and night long

i guess if its what i have to do then yes i will do it
i just dont wanna Sad

IMO, you are 16, and soon to be a mother. You don't need to go trick or treating. It's time to grow up.

Way to put your daughter first!

Free candy is worth more than your daughters health?

Suzy, it's time to start thinking like a MOTHER and not like a teenaged girl. If what you say is true and you're 2 centimeters dilated, you do NOT need to go to the mall and be pushed around in a wheelchair. You do NOT need to go sit at the movie theater. I don't see how buying some lotion and a few christmas presents is worth risking labor. Do you realize that if Kristen were born now, she'd be in the NICU?

Just, dude. Think about it for a minute. Stop being stubborn and just... stop. You're either in too delicate a shape to go downstairs for food, or you're strong enough to go to the mall. You can't have it both ways - it makes no sense at all. I don't see any reasonable man rushing around bringing you food because you're too delicate to move, and then forcing you to go to the movie theater the next day in exchange for bringing you to the mall.

You're a mother now, and this is one of the many sacrifices you SHOULD make to make sure Kristen stays put. Whining about how you "don't wanna" makes you sound like a 16 year old child, not like an expectant mother worried about her baby coming early.

They could TRY to stop it. It's a stupid thing to risk. Not for some freaking lotion and a movie. Stay home, do some online stuff instead.

They can *try* to stop it. But there are times when they can't. So don't depend on that for her to stay put.

so its not a guarentee they could stop it?! and then what happens? because what she said was the main complicaction kristen could have if born before 37 weeks is lungs that arnt fully developed which they could inject steroids in me if i go into labor before 37 weeks

so thats what we were most worried about. but i thought they culd just stop my labor. i had no idea that they couldnt or that it may not work Shocked

They can TRY to stop labor. There's no guarantee that it'd work. The steroids might help, but they won't guarantee that she'd be fine. Karin's son was born nearly at full term and he was sick for at LEAST a week in the NICU. He was born way after 34 weeks.

Like I said. Is lotion and a movie really worth it? Is "not wanting to" really worth it? If you're going to be hard-headed about something, be hard headed about your baby's health. The mall isn't that darned important.

Your doctor should have told you it's not a sure thing.

This guy I worked with, well his wife went into labor like 2 months early and she was hospitalized for a few days because they tried to stop labor. It stalled it for awhile, but the baby was still born way too early and was in the NICU for some time. I don't recall exactly how long, but that's just to show....you can't count on a shot to stop labor.

she didnt
she told me that she was going to make my apts every week now
and she would check me each time to make sure i havent dialated anymore. she said that if i am more than 2cm before 37 weeks (like if she checks me and ive dialated more ) then she will put me on bedrest
other than that she never said no about anything
she said i couldnt go to houston for thanksgiving because thats too long to be sitting in a car and that by then i could go anyday
she said she is going to give me a u/s next appt to see how the baby is doing and stuff
and she wanted to monitor my BP

Every hospital is different, but I highly doubt they'd let you stay. I'm sure they won't let you stay in the same room. But this lady had to go home empty handed. They couldn't stay with their baby

Wouldn't sitting for a long period of time include being in a wheelchair or theater seat? You said she said to lay down and prop your feet up.
