Waiting for the birth of our 3rd baby

I have 3 weeks to go until my due date but I’m already 1 1/2cm dilated and 80% effaced. I was induced with our last 2. First time due to toximia. 2nd time because I was already 3 cm dilated and I can’t feel contractions. This time I’m going to wait and see what happens. I’m very excited to feel how a real birth process starts. I delivered the last 2 naturally and I’m going to do the same with this baby. My body is just weird because during labor, I can’t feel contractions even when I’ve been induced with pitocin. I can somehow block the feeling and I won’t feel anything until the head comes out. Needless to say it makes delivering naturally easy. Now I’m excited to wait and see how labor will go and feel with this baby.

If you have to deliver a baby at Kaiser, be very careful as to who your doctor might be

This article just highlights the problems of child deliveries here in America. It appears that some doctors just can continue to hurt innocent people and even be responsible for their death, yet nothing happens to them. Dr. Safari, a perinatologist at Kaiser has been under federal investigation for causing 2 babies deaths. Every time you deliver a baby it’s a risk especially if it happens at a hospital. It seems like more things go wrong when doctors get involved. In so many other countries, majority of deliveries are handled by midwifes with great success. I wonder when America will realize that the current child birthing practices are major hospitals just aren’t working and are at great risk of newborn deaths. The US has the highest newborn death rate compared to other developing countries and it’s really sad.Read more here regards to this Kaiser doctor in question and be very aware of the risks when delivering at a hospital.
