18-6-2009 - L&D visit--No Fun!!

My mood while writing this blog:
tired, hungry, and sore

So, everyone has been asking me if I've felt any contractions yet with this pregnancy and my answer is always, "I don't know. I've never had one and I don't know what they feel like." Well, now I do. Yesterday, my hubby and I went and bought all the stuff to finish Adelyn's room (which is all done now..just waiting on the mattress for her crib!!). On our way home I got a couple of sharp pains that shot from the top of my baby bump =] straight down. It hurt but it didn't last long. Then, after we got her room set up and were about to eat I started getting cramps pretty bad and after a while my husband made me go to Labor and Delivery. Well, we got there and they hooked me up to the machine and it turns out I was having contractions. For a while they were 5 minutes apart and lasted for a minute each. They hurt pretty bad but I was sure they'd send me home cause they didn't get stronger. No such luck. They made us stay overnight because they wanted to watch them and make sure they didn't get any stronger. They also hooked me up to an IV (I HATE IVS!!!) and some kind of fluid. Idk. Anyway, needless to say, I was miserable and couldn't sleep all night. Then, my doctor came in this morning and told me that even though I was contracting. I wasn't dilated yet so he was going to send me home. Why couldn't they do that last night?? And to top it all, the nurse that checked me (twice) had short fingers and chubby little hands so it hurt sooooooooooooooooo bad when she checked me. After that I went home and went to sleep and didn't wake up till 2 pm lol. Now, the contractions have stopped and while I am glad that they have...I'm a little disappointed. Adelyn is weighing in at almost 6 pounds already and I'm getting more and more uncomfortable every day. He told me if I go into labor at 35 weeks or after (on my own) then he wouldn't stop it and he'd let me have her (I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow). If not, he'll induce the 17th of July which is one week before my due date and is also my little sister's birthday. Man, I hope she comes before then lol.

I wish my baby was 6 lbs. I was measured today and she is over 9lbs. The dic won't let me deliver naturally so I have to have a c-section even though I am 4-5cm dilated and having contractions everyday. My due date is July 20th but we will be doing the c-section on July 7th which won't come fast enough. I really hope that all goes well with you and your little one. It will be over before you know it

Aww bless your heart! That does suck!! At least you know what to expect now. Wait till your contracting and your cervix is opening. You will be begging for an epidural. That ptiocin makes your contractions worse. I will be praying that you will go into labor all on your own, so you don't have to be induced. Keep us updated, girl!!

gotta love those IV's, i had so many while i was pregnant. the same thing happened to me at 32/33wks. i started getting really bad contactions, they IVed me, checked me, i was long and hard, and sent me home.
