Well its been official I am on modified bed rest every 2-3 hours I have to lay on my left (lateral) side for 3 hours. I am at high risk for pregnancy induced hypertension Crying or Very sad when I go into the doctor I am alsways freaking out thinking something is wrong and my blood pressure is up to 150/90 or 130/90. Anyways they make me lay down and then retake it and it goes down to the usual 115/50. Yesterday she had me lay down before they even took my blood pressure and then she took it and it was 120/60. She was very pleased so now when I go in I have to lay down for 15 minutes on my left side before they even do anything!!!
My concern is the c-section. So far I am going for vaginal, but my doc said if I can't keep up with my blood pressure they are gonna do a c-section. Because of that one girl I think it was mesmurizeu who was pregnant and miscarried due to her past c-section they screwed her up for life and she cant have anymore children. I am scared they are gonna do something wrong and mess me up. What are the chances of that happening to me? What are the chances I will even end up with a c-section?
Lots of love,
heather and hayley

Hey girls just wanted to say thanks and that that info was very encouraging.
Riversmommy- so your blood pressure went up and down. Did they make you lay on your left side or anything. Why did they decide to induce you? I would love it if they induced me! Did they ever say anything about a c-section to you during your labor?
Insurancegirl-so you are the one worrying about it now? I was talking about when mez miscarried and her sister got online and said that it was her last c-section that caused her to miscarry that she will never be able to have another baby due to the fact that damaged her uterus. I think it was mez. It was the one that everybody started saying was fake cause the picture of her little girl was on the same site somewhere else.
Thanks a bunch girls for the reasurrance!!!
Lots of love,
heather and hayley

The monday be4 they induced me they kept me over night to monitor me then I went in that wednesday and they sent me up to be monitored again b/c my blood pressure was high in the office....Well that following monday it was high again so they sent me up to get monitored well about 530 the doc comes in and asked me if I wanted to just get induced b/c she doesnt want me to get sick or the baby to get stressed sooo they induced me at 930 that night I went into labor at 10 that night......I wasnt dilating fast enough I had been at 7cm for like an hour or more thats why they were talking bout a c-section but then I started dilating again!!

Well jen I feel better know hearing the story, lol. I hope they will induce me to let me just get it over with and no stress on hayley. That would be soooo nice!!!

Jordan-omg I am so dumb, thanks! My apologies to stacy. That is the whole reason I dont want a c-section cause of what happened to kelly. It has me so freaked out. How long ago was that when they did her c-section from her first daughter? Maybe that is why they screwed up. I am just trying to ease my mind, lol. Thanks, again I apologize to stacy!!

Jennifer that is so awful to hear!! Don't be worried. Okay I will make a deal with you, I wont worry if you wont worry, lol. Do you mind me asking why you have the shunt? My friend carmen has a shunt due to spina bifida and she thinks she wont be able to have babies. I was just wondering if you also have spina bifida. I knew a woman named dana and she had 3 babies with spina bifida. C-sections of course.
Lots of love,
