OMG-UPDATED

Original post by Laura

I get an email from my friend today that she was up all night with back pains--she is due 12/7--- and talk to her when she is on the way home from the dr today

He tested her for a bunch of stuff(no, dilation,heartbeat normal, etc) listens to baby--says baby is still very high- and not ready to come down-
and that the back pain which was shooting around to front was probably from change in position of baby-- and sends her home and says see you next week

and as we are talking she comments on how she was crazy if she thought she wouldnt need drugs because if this wasn't labor then there was no way she could handle the pain

Well my phone rings at 10 to 11 and I am like who is calling this late---it is her-- hysterical--she got up to go to the bathroom and had the baby within a few minutes in her bathroom and was on the way to the hospital in an ambulance

Can you believe it? She is concerned about the baby but ambulance workers say HE is fine!!!!!

I am so excited and can't wait to hear back from them tonight once they get to the hospital---
I started screaming and scared the crap out of DH who was sleeping!!!!

ETA-Ok so here is what happened--- she was having contractions (although the dr thought it was something else) and her water did break at a little after 10 pm and they called the ambulance---and Dad delivered the baby at 10:18 !!!! He had to run downstairs to see what time it was since no one else was there!!!! She never had to push until she delivered the placenta at the hospital!!!

Mom and Baby are doing great--The little guy is 5 lbs 10.8 ozs and 18 1/4 inches---

OMG - I am so glad your friend and her baby are okay!! This is the second story I've heard in just one week where the Daddy delivered the baby!

And, pls forgive me for my opinion, but what the HECK is wrong with that doctor??? A woman is having pains like your friend describes and he DOESN'T send her to L&D to at least be monitored to CONFIRM whether she is or isn't in labor????? I am appalled by this doctor...sorry...JMO.

I am glad that your friend is okay!!!

What a story!!! That is one for the baby book.

Holy Cow!! How scary..I am glad that mom, dad and baby are all okay.

And Claud- I agree. Why wasn't she monitored. It is so easy for them to tell what is going on.

What a story!!!!!! I am glad that her and the baby is fine. She now has a unique labor story to tell her baby when they are older.

Ok I was quick to jump on the dr but get this one--
She was not dilated at all --when he did an internal baby was bouncing on his finger(some of you BTDT might know what that means) the baby was no where near position, etc--
The dr said this was the 2nd time in 22 years that this has happened to him---the nurses at the hospital were laughing at him when he showed up this morning---

The other thing is the pain had gotten worse the 2nd day/night but the mom didnt think it was labor pains since the dr had told her she was no where near labor(because of all of the above)

Luckily--everything worked out beautifully and HE is adorable!!!!
