Spent another long afternoon/ evening in the hospital last night. Contractions were registering on the monitor at 3-5 minutes apart for 3 hours straight in the hospital, with no medical explanation as I’m not dilated. The fear, obviously, is that the intense contractions will undoubtedly cause the dilation eventually…. Just a matter of when. They gave me a shot to try and stop the contractions, which proved to be “not so helpful.” They then sent me home with a prescription for a different medication to try…. I’m been feeling nauseas all week and this morning I’ve been sick. The fun continues. Also the confusion of when to assume this baby is actually coming and when to go to the hospital for “the big show.” Normally, prego ladies go INTO the hospital when contractions are around 5 minutes apart…. Take note that I got SENT HOME FROM the hospital when my contractions were within 3 minutes of each other. The nurse said that I’m just “one of those special cases where normal logic doesn’t apply.” I feel like I’ve heard that somewhere before in my life?? I’m more confused than ever and totally miserable.
Here is my 27 week picture. Yay for pregnancy (said with sarcasm)…
Oh, girly! Hang in there – we are all on team baby with ya right now. Personally, though, I kinda liked team April, too….. miss you and sending lots of prayers to Heaven with your name on ’em. JMH
You look great in your picture. I’m sorry to hear that you had a rough bout of contractions again. Why aren’t those stupid things going away?! Hang in there, you will get through this. I think of you daily and pray your spirits stay high, I know it’s easier said than done.
