Hi girls.
I was rushed to hospital almost 5 days ago now, was put on monitors which showed I'm contracting and my cervix was open and dilating. I was put on the drip to stop contractions (memory loss of the name) for 48hrs which didn't help so I was given 2 injections of steroids and antibiotics. They have since started me on nifedipine tablets for 2 days which also haven't stopped contractions and now my blood pressure has dropped so low they can't give me anymore. I guess my question is shouldn't the contractions have stopped with all the medication they've give me? Can I now refuse anymore intervention as my dr even said if I'm still contracting there's a reason he wants to come out. And also can I ask for an epidural as im in so much pain!!!!! Any other advice would be hugely appreciated, my mind is in such a mess.
