I was due last Thursday. I have already lost my mucus plug. My water has NOT broken. I've been having contractions for the past 2 days.
Yesterday they got to be about 7 minutes apart, so my husband took me to the hospital. I was dilated to a 2 (I was a 1 at my last doctor's appointment... 3 days ago).
They strapped the monitors on me, but the monitor that kept track of the contractions was all kinds of screwed up, so they did not get an accurate reading on the contractions. After being on the monitors for 2 hours, they checked my cervix again, and I was still a 2.
At my last appointment, the doctor didn't have ANY problems finding my cervix. He said he didn't have to push very far in at all. The nurse last night said she couldn't find it... she pushed so damn hard... if she's my nurse next time I go in, I am DEMANDING a different nurse.
My husband is very very not happy with that hospital. The monitor was screwed up THE ENTIRE 2 HOURS I was there; no one offered to change monitors or move me to a different room... NOTHING!
What do y'all think I should do about it? I plan on going to another hospital next time I need to go, but my doctor works for them, and I have an appointment to be induced Wednesday night, so I don't have the option of going to a different hospital for that.
DO I?
