Re: Baby didn't gain much weight- sad & a little scared
I hope all turns out okay...I had the pitocin and it was no big deal, what are you afraid of, maybe I can ease your mind
Once I got the pitocin , I started having contractions within an hour but if you do go that route, you can get an epi as soon as you want one, you do not have to wait until you are a certain cm dialated...once I got the epi, I felt NO pain
good luck, fm me if you want more info
I had a GREAT experience with the cervadil and pitocin, I did wind up with a c-section however because my DD's heartrate was dropping with each contraction. The c-section also went great, I have no regrets or complaints about my labor and delivery

Re: Baby didn't gain much weight- sad & a little scared
My baby was a sluggish grower as well and was 5 lbs. 9oz. at birth (at 38.5 weeks) so I know the fears and worries. Things will work out for the best, they always do. After battling the emotional roller coaster of the NICU, I assure you that often, they are better off out of the womb because they can treat any issues/problems.

Re: Baby didn't gain much weight- sad & a little scared
I know exactly what you are going through- I expereienced this at 21 weeks with my DD. So my heart goes out to you. You are in a great position though-they can deliver early and get her into teh optimum environment. One where they can see if there are any issues. Just to put you at ease DH's cousin had a 40 weeker who weighed in at 5 lbs and a few oz and they were not worried

Re: Baby didn't gain much weight- sad & a little scared
I am hoping that all goes well with the amnio. As far as the pitocin, try not to worry about it. I was given pitocin and did not have a bad experience at all. They broke my water and gave me pitocin at the same time, and the contractions came on really strong, but once I got an epi I was fine.
Can I ask what the reasoning is why you are scared of the pitocin (i notice that a lot of people say this, and I am not sure why) Thanks and best of luck to you!

Re: Baby didn't gain much weight- sad & a little scared
I went for 2 amnios at week 36 & 37. They told me that the baby only gained one ounce in 8 days. I since I grew, but it turned out they were waaaaay off with the weight. The morning I delivered they measured him at 5lbs 11 oz. I delivered him at 6 lbs 10 oz!

Re: Baby didn't gain much weight- sad & a little scared- Update in first post...
I do hope they're wrong about the weight.. but I know the weight isn't a big deal, she's fine. It's the 10% body that has us a little nervous....
this waiting time sux!!!!
