Hey all..... Started feeling some strong cramping on Sunday and Monday. I figured that I would wait until my appt with my OB on Tuesday....Tuesday morning I noticed that what I was feeling was more like sharp shooting pains in my lower left groin...they were about a few minutes apart. I went to my OB appt, they checked my cervix via ultrasound (it was fine) and they hooked me up to the monitor. All looked great but I still was feeling the contractions. After my monitoring, I met with my OB...he sent me over to Labor and Delivery since I was reporting feeling something. At L&D, they hooked me up to the monitor and recorded that contractions every 4 minutes. they gave me Tributeline and IV fluids. The Tributeline decreased the contractions but made my heart race. They did not want to give me anymore since I had this reaction. They are doing a urine culture to rule out a UTI, which is what was causing the contractions a few weeks ago. still waiting for the results. They released me on bed rest and my Ob asked for me to call and check in this morning at the office. I went home last night, my uterus calm. I rested on the couch and called the OB this morning. My OB wanted me to come in and check my cervix. My cervix measured long and closed. He said that he wants me on house rest/bed rest until my next appt on Tuesday. He does not want to put me on Tribulteline since it made my heart race so we wants me to rest. He said he wants me to keep my little one in the oven for at least another 2-3 weeks. He asked me to call if I feel regular contractions. I am feeling occasional contractions and more regular cramping but if the contractions get regular I need to call.
this is so hard for me. I am a very independent person. I cannot stand to depend on others. I had 3 different people help me with daughter this morning to get her to swim practice, swim breakfast and her swim meet tonight. I cried when she left for her swim team. I have never missed anything of hers. It is very hard for me to sit at home and know she is there without me. Greg is meeting her there, as he is at work. Morgan made her own lunch and dinner today (sandwiches) and helped do the laundry. She is such a selfless child.
Forgot to post at 32 weeks. Baby measured 4 pounds 9 ounces at 32 weeks. She looked awesome!!!!!!!
Baby's bedroom is almost finished...thankfully I was able to get some stuff done in the room before be putting on bed rest. Morgan and I painted the room a nice pale yellow and Greg did his first major home improvement.....He replaced the baseboards in the baby's room. I am so proud of him. The baby's furniture was delivered today, too. It was so nice to have the furniture delivered and the crib assembled. we did not even have to do it. Greg is finishing up the custom closet. I will have Greg take pictures and I will post them. I cant wait for everything to be done and the baby to enjoy it all.....
Anyhow, that is what has been happening here at my end.
