The End of Pregnancy- Visiting the Hospital
When should I go to the hospital? The simple answer to this question is when you are anxious or need more pain relief than Tylenol or a warm bath can provide, and you should bear this in mind at the end of your pregnancy. Whether it is your first baby or your 4th, it's natural to be concerned about arriving at the hospital just to be sent home again. Still, thats better than leaving home too late.
Here is a list that is a little more defined to help you know when you should go to the hospital. It's time to leave if:
-The contractions are coming in less than 5-minute intervals.
-Your contractions are so strong that they distract you from everything else.
-Staying at home makes you anxious.
-Your waters break.
-Bright red blood is discharged from your vagina.
-The baby is moving less frequently than usual.
The first three of the above mean that your labor is progressing normally. Breaking of the waters is generally not a sign of premature labor; but it tends to be an indication that the 2nd stage of labor is forthcoming. Regardless of this, now and then your baby takes a position in your pelvis that creates a small lump of water-filled membrane to develop between the babys head and your vagina. When a contraction comes, the water in this bag is put under pressure and the membranes rupture. This suggests that the child is in a back-to-back position. Back-to-back labors tend to be longer, but eighty percent of the time, the baby tends to turn itself into a better position prior to birth.
If you see bright red blood coming from your vagina at any time during your pregnancy, this is an emergency, and you should dial 911 and request an ambulance.
If the baby moves less than normal, odds are it's just resting or sleeping. Nevertheless, any slowing down of the babys movements may indicate that all is not well. This is not an emergency, however, you do need to phone your doctor and check the baby's heart rate.
