Emma, my wife is currently in hospital for the 3rd time in 2 weeks because of bleeding. She is 37 weeks tomorrow (25th) and the doctors have mentioned inducing Emma. Can you give me information on being induced so I can pass it on to Emma? Emma has been a keen user of Mumsnet for 3 years and has asked me to post.
Scans have ruled out a low lying placenta and when Emma has an internal examination the doctors cannot see anything for the blood. Each time Emma has had bleeding there has been more blood than the previous time. She is still bleeding lightly now after 36 hours. The previous 2 bleeds were like her waters breaking she told me. Emma takes it easy and the bleeding has happened in the night or first thing in the morning. Emma also has a bit of a sore stomach and it feels tender to touch.
Emma is spending her second night in hospital tonight (her 4th altogether). The doctors have mentioned a corrosive ?something? I cant remember what the something was but I am sure you will know and I will feel silly when you remind me. They are not sure though. Our little boys head is not engaged yet and he is fine, great results on the monitor and great movement.
Any information on all the pros and cons of it all will be appreciated, we both live in the real world and like to be informed about what may happen.
Thanks in advance, Kevin.
