My adventures in labour and delivery

Posted by: texaslovescanada on: April 9, 2009

I spent the day at labour and delivery because the cats got in a really bad fight and I was trying to break them up and after chasing them up the stairs I fell. I hit my stomach and I called the Dr and she said because I am 35 weeks that I needed to come in and make sure everything was okie. the monitored me and the heartbeat was fine but they noticed I was having contractions. Duh I didn’t know what they felt like. lol

So then they sent me down for an ultrasound just to make sure that everything was good and it was, she said that pickle looked good and that she saw hair! I kept having contractions but they said I wasn’t dilated so they gave me a shot of terbeline or turobline or something like that to stop the contractions. That worked for about half an hour and they started right back again and were even worse and closer together. so they kept monitoring me and took blood and checked my stuff and said that I still hadn’t dilated at all so they were going to send me home on bed rest and I have to go back again tomorrow to be monitored to make sure I m not having any problems or to see if I am more dilated and I am ready to have pickle.

I am still having contractions but I am feeling okie and I just have to take it easy the next couple of days and hopefully I will just be able to go another couple of weeks or so. I am really not sure what’s going to happen and I got kind of scared because I was all alone in the hospital all day.

oh, Honey! So glad you and the pickle are ok! Sucks that you were all by yourself, but you’re doing great!
