VENT...night in L and D....

ugh...i am wiped out..lately i have been contracting but not a consistent pattern but definately getting stronger. so yesterday around 5pm they kept coming strong. a couple hours later they were regular so i called the afterhours servive and of coarse they said to come in. thank god i did....they were coming strong and close...2 ivy bags...nothing...3 shots of turbutaline...nothing...pill turbutaline....nothing...finally switched to another med around 4am and they finally stopped coming consistently...but still coming. so they sent me home with new prescription. we shall see. now i have had alot of protein in my urine so yesterday i did the 24 hour collection of urine. my doctor wouldnt let the hospital do the follow up blood work following the collection of urine...can you believe i had to leave the hospital and go straight to their office to have it drawn. mind you i usually wear my pajamas to the hospital..i know i am bad ( but i freqent Labor and delivery quite often)...lol...but good thing i didnt this time. so i got my blood drawn at the office and they gave me the results from my THIRD time taking the diabetes test...wala i definately have it...OY...GEESH..i know it can be common but i just feel bombarded and have had no sleep. all i need is for them to call and give me bad news about my urine...so thats my story..it was almost D Day...haha. good news baby is just fine 2 ounces shy of 5 pounds at 30 weeks and has a strong heart beat. looks like i will have a big turkey! just needed to vent....

I am so glad your little one gets to bake longer. It is so stressful when things like that happen. It really makes it worse because you are worried. Hopefully your new meds will work and keep you baking.

Good Luck,
Emily

Sounds like a rough night.  I'm glad they were able to get the contractions to stop.  Hopefully baby will bake a while longer.
