Re: Rupture membranes at 4cm? Drs Hill and McIntoshFrom: AMD (anonymous@obgyn.net)Fri, 11 Jun 1999 11:53:53 -0500 (CDT)
Dr. Hill and Dr. McIntosh: Thank you so much for your insightful comments. I am glad I asked this question here because the information I have gotten gives me more incentive to thoroughly discuss this with my OB. Before, I probably would have just said "sure, whatever you think is best". I certainly don't want to end up with a c-section when waiting a week would have brought on spontaneous labor for a more mature baby. I may need to drag hubby with me to my next appointment!! I think that my first delivery was so quick is part of what makes my OB a little nervous about me wandering around at 4cm, > 75% effaced, and 0 station. I was 4 cm with ruptured membranes when I got to the hospital -- 2 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing before my son was born. The pushing was hampered by his posterior position and being stuck on my pubic bone (he looked awful!!). And this was at 37 weeks (where I'll be by my appt next week). If hubby and I are at home, we are probably 30-45 minutes from the hospital (including dropping #1 son at grandmas). If I have to summon hubby or I'm at work or traffic's bad, or whatever, the time may be well over an hour. That is probably going to be enough time, but could be pushing it! Again, thanks so much for your helpful responses and encouraging me to thouroughly discuss the risks/benefits of this with my doc!! Thanks, Andrea EDD 7/7/99
