[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably not after my second- I had a retained placenta that requires a d&c and I had a small hemorrhage in the OR.

Though I probably would also not have been alive long enough to get pregnant to begin with for other reasons, like how did people get past strep throat, UTI etc back then? [/quote]

Woah. I had the same problem but with my first, and expecting my second now. Do you mind sharing where you delivered and if they offered any explanation? I want to see how I can better prepare this time around (either with scheduled C or vaginal again). [/quote]

I delivered at Inova Fairfax and they did not offer any explanation other than it's just something that happens sometimes. I researched it at the time and thought maybe there is a higher incidence with inductions. For me, it took 9 hours to get productive contractions between the cervix medicine and a Foley bulb, but once it got going, my uterus was like in overdrive as it was only took 3 hours more until delivery. Then my uterus basically gave up and stopped altogether after the delivery despite then adding pitocin.  [/quote]

PP - thanks, that nearly mirrors my induction experience too along with adding pitocin at the end. Not sure whether to go with a scheduled C instead now. [/quote]
