Benjamin Phillip

Weight: 9lbs 8.4ozs

Length: 19.5in.

After 12 hours of labor he finally arrived!!

I want to thank everyone for their help with my questions as well as keeping me occupied as I got bigger and bigger :) and lazier and lazier :) You guys are a great support system!!

38 weeks 3 days

2 cm dilated

75% effaced

Early Labor- painful contractions 10-15 mins apart (hospital sent home on Sunday to labor at home)

Lost mucous plug this evening (big clump with blood)

Major back pain

Hurts to walk

I know that means it could be days or weeks until my son arrives...

What were your experiences?

The PDR cautions that the use of rhogam during pregnancy can have adverse effects on the fetus. The high mercury content of the rhogam preparation can have serious neurological consequences on the developing fetus. I do know that they started using Rhogam during pregnancy in the late 1980s. Before that, it was give IMMEDIATELY after birth. Many women get multiple Rhogam shots now DURING pregnancy, without a second thought from their OB. Until about 2001, each Rhogam shot had 25mgm of mercury in it.....horrid for the rapidly growing nervous system of the fetus!! Stephanie Cave, MD told me that she did a survey of patients in her office....62% of autistic kids had Rh- moms....only 3% had Rh+ moms.....and she said that those kids were more difficult to treat (probably more true neurological damage that occurred during embryological development--that would be my "guess") I do not need any negative comments. I am a teacher and I see how much students with Autism struggle.

Sunday I couldn’t get out of bed on my own. I did not go to work yesterday or today (which is hard to for me because I am a teacher and love to teach my students) Today I can walk just can't move my hips when I walk or walk anywhere near my normal pace. I have had sharp pains in my stomach when I cough or sneeze. I have had no vaginal bleeding...

My mother in law (who’s a nurse) thinks it is a bladder infection. I was thinking it is a pinched nerve...

What do you think?

Please don't be cruel... I'm scared to go to the emergency room. Those doctors are unfriendly and I don't need one of them telling me I miscarried and its time for me to leave... I am waiting for my doctor to open... I am 26, married and this is a planned pregnancy...
