Baby Max is on his way!
 

For those GChatters who've asked me to keep them posted about my pregnancy, I wanted to make sure and tell everyone:

Max Kendell will be on his way tomorrow, May 21st at 7 a.m. I am being induced due to preeclampsia (a very serious complication of pregnancy), so please keep me and Max in your thoughts/prayers. I am going in at 7:30 p.m. tonight, so this will probably be my last post for a while. I will post to let everyone know how things went as soon as possible.

Thanks to everyone who has helped me stay sane throughout this whole ordeal!

Tiffany

Good luck!!! You'll both be in my thoughts/prayers.

welcome max and happy birthday...
good luck today, mom, may it be as nice and easy as these things can be.
congrats.

Just an update,

My OB scheduled the induction, and it went halfway through. But, the on-call OB from her group pulled me off of the pitocinthis morning after only 3 hours because she didn't agree with the induction. So, after two failed IVs, and MUCH pain last night, I was yanked off of the IV even though I was/am having contractions. I was told that my symptoms of Preeclampsia weren't valid. And, I was told to go back to the old twice a week schedule.

This was the same partner who told me my double vision was due to me needing glasses and that my epigastric pain was "in my head."

Thanks for your support everyone. Looks like it may be a few more weeks of suffering. Then again, it's "all in my head."

Oh, Tippie!

We'll be thinking of you and hoping Max comes soon!

co-sign. :)

Oy! :-/

Well, take care of yourself, and I hope all goes well when Max does find his way into the world. :)

Hang in there honey! May it be an easy "eviction" of Max from Hotel Mom! :)

Oh wow! How disturbing! You're in Nashville, right? I need to make a note to not go that doctor if I ever have kids. Sounds like she doesn't have very good bedside manner.

Oh that stinks!!!! If there's anything I've learned from my extensive experience with doctors it's that a lot of them are truly stupid. Of course, that goes for any field where you hafta be really really smart. You can have all the book smarts in the world, but that counts for nothing if you have no common sense (and a lot of people I know are severely lacking in that department). If you say you have epigastric pain, you more than likely do! I was told I just had an eating disorder when I developed IBD. Eating disorder my butt....

Hope everything turns out well in the long run and that Dr. Stupidhead gets whatever's coming to him/her. Can't wait to finally see that little guy!

ZLAM,

Meghan

WAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!!

Your REGULAR, CHOSEN doctor scheduled to induce you, wrote the order for pitocin, etc. You were on the drip for 3 hours, having contractions, and an ON CALL doctor d/c'd YOUR DOCTOR'S order?????!?!?!?!?!

What the hell???? I'm not one for frivilous lawsuits, but someone would be owing me some money!!!! How in the hell could that be good medical judgement? Aren't you within a month of your due date? What are the risks of inducing now versus the risks of waiting? My sister's OB let her have preeclampsia for a whole 3 DAYS before she induced...about 3 weeks early. Absolutely no complications whatsoever.

Course, I know each person and each pregnacy is different. But man, if that were me I'd be standing on the bed throwing things at whomever tried to take that IV away from me!!!

In any case, GOOD LUCK!!!!! I'm thinking of you!

bless your heart...
thoughts and prayers with you.

(((((((((((((((Tippie-soon-to-be-Max's-Mom))))))))))))))))))

Try to relax, and know that your Greek Chat friends are praying for you, Max, the delivery, and Mr. Tippiechick.

We luv ya, Sweetie!!

I think you need to call your regular doctor ASAP. I don't understand why he/she would schedule an induction when he/she wasn't on duty though. Make sure your own doc knows what went on.
