When I had my first son my labor and delivery were fine, an hour of pushing he came out, no tears or abrasions, when I had my second son I had to get induced, the labor and delivery were horrible, I pushed for 2 straight hours and the OB finally tried to vaccum him out, and he had to cut me and I tore the rest of the way, so I ended up with a 4th degree tear. (instead of 2 holes, I had 1 BIG hole.) The OB said that I wouldn't be able to have any more kids natural, I would HAVE to have a C Section.
My Dr and I have decided to see how things go and have an extra ultrasound at about 36-38 weeks to see how big the baby is and if she's like 5-6 Lbs we're going to try for another natural delivery if she's already 7-8lbs we're going to schedule a C-Section.
My question is has anyone of you had a 4th degree tear and had another natural birth? I really want to try and have my last baby natural but if I have to have a C-Section I will......

So I recently found out I was pregnant 2 weeks ago and they said I am abot 9weeks pregnant but then I had taken tests in january and they all came out negative took more in feb. And they are alk positive. Then one day I got something like my period and the dr immediately took a blood test and said it was low so took another one about 5 days later and it said I was no longer pregnant bur I'm still getting pregnancy symptoms and deep down I feel it was wrong but then I know I'm in denial. So is it still possible to be pregnant?View Thread
Thank you!View Thread
I stopped taking the pill about two weeks ago. Normally, if I missed 1 pill I would start bleeding. It's been nearly two weeks and nothing! I've read a lot that this is considered normal after stopping the pill but is it weird that I haven't started when in the past (everytime!) if I missed just 1 pill I would start?
Thanks!View Thread

Wait for one more week and have a new scan
If no heart beat found , then get the baby removed.

I just watned to know if anyone has had this happen to them? I am late 5 days. My husband and I had intercourse this morning. I went to the bathroom, I noticed pink discharge. I havent't had any bleeding or discharge since this morning? Is this my period?View Thread
She was prescribed cycle-progynova and some other medicines, for like 3-4 days she was OK. Then suddenly she started bleeding and having back/stomach pain. for pain she used ibuprofen. On her 9th day we had our last visit, Dr. did a transvaginal ultrasound and found no residue tissue or any other thing, he said that everything is clean.
On that same day few hours later she started bleeding heavy with clots she was like change 4-5 pads in 10mins, it was late and we had to go to ER.
While in ER she was given an IV with Gentamicin and Oristin that night bleeding stopped, next morning started again then she was given IV with gentamicin, orastin and few hours later estradion 10mg. Bleeding stopped for some time and started again on next day.
She was given 1 amp of ergometril. then next day one doctor said that she should do the CA19,9 and CA 125 test, guess what CA19.9 was OK CA125 was 53.6 normal values < 33.
After these results my wife was divested, we went to a private GY/OB clinic to get a second opinion, Dr. there said "coz of the heavy bleeding and D&C this test is not accurate" and prescribed cycle-progynova, in case of heavy bleeding to take two at once.
History:
My wife had removed a 4cm myoma in uterus 5yrs ago, 1yr ago she had a polyp removed from uterus from the same doctor; so we decided to go to that doctor again today
He check with transvaginal ultrasound and said that there is no residue tissue. uterus has some fluids but it is in normal state;
and prescribed 5 pills of estrofem per day for 3 days with 3 days pause then 1 ergometril 5mg for 15 days.
1. After all those bleeding and D&C and different therapy can those CA125 result still be accurate?
2. Is it any thing wrong on taking 5 estrofem 1mg pills per day for 3 days?
3. Does any one out there might know what had caused all this bleeding if there was no residue tissue in the uterus?
4. Is it normal having this much bleeding even after 13 days of D&C?

I am completely freaked out because I just started a new job in December after being with the same company for 8 years. I know this is awful to think but I don't want people to think differently of me at the new job or treat me differently. I left my previous employer for more opportunity and I'm afraid this will affect my chances here. What an awful thing to think, I know.
I am a firm believer in everything happens when it happens for a reason. I don't have much of a support system besides my husband and daughter so I didn't know where to turn. He teases me and says I'm just being hormonal but this is really hard.
I hate being pregnant because I am so self conscious (which also sounds ridiculous). Not feeling well and being tired all of the time isn't helping.
Am I being ridiculous.. I think it's just the lack of support.. I don't know.. Thanks everyone.View Thread
My husband is not dealing with this at all. He won't talk to me I have asked him after telling him with our pastor's help I was pregnant back in November to go to marriage counseling to see if we could get past our hurts we have now inflicted on each other. He won't go and is very emotinal, full of anger and hurt and many other emotions.. I am stuck with my head and heart not seeing the same thing. My faith is making it very hard to walk away from our marriage and I deseprately want us to try couseling for the sake of peace of mind knowing we did everything to try and make it work. I want to be able to tell our son we really tried, coming from divorce I know the impact it has on children's self worth and self esteem. I am going to therapy, I have started our son in therapy and with the support of my friends and family and my women's group and church I am trying to make it thru this very difficult time. I have struggled to find happiness with this pregnancy which breaks my heart because I wanted a second child so bad, just not under these circumstances. What I need is how can I tell our son that I am pregnant and Daddy isn't going to be Daddy? I have a very intelligent boy that is too smart for his own good and I know he is going to ask some very hard questions. I don't know what to tell him and I don't want to lie and yet I don't want to give him more information than he needs at nearly five. I have asked various people including his pediatrican, and answers are not very helpful. What would you say if you were in my position? =-(View Thread
