04-5-2010 - another update on the contraction deal.

My mood while writing this blog:
tired/hot

A Little more of an update I am sorry of how quick it was...

After three days of full contractions I went it to L&D - They were about 6-8 mins apart.

They hooked me up to the monitor and the nurse was like " you havent had any since you have been on the monitor correct?" I was like "uhhhhh - yes I have" she adjusted the belts and sure enough with in 30 sec. I was having one. They watched me and then came in and said if you have another one with in the next 15 min's we are giving you a shot of trabultaline. ( I had two more in that 15 mins and 1 while she was giving me the shot)

The did my cervical check and I am closed, low, and soft. ((ok help me out here Mommies I dont know what all that means other then it is softening up....)) She told me that since they have given me the steroid shot that basiclly if I kick into labor they are not going to stop it and that Tanner would be in the Specials ( NICU) for a couple of days.

Did a UA dip and no infection or anything, and I didnt have to get an IV YAY!!!

Even after I had the trabultaline I was still having contractions but not as many of the pesky ones, big ones were about 30 mins. I was sent home after being there 3 hours (not tooo bad, and they were slammed last night, full moon)

My OB upped the mg on the trabultaline from 2.5mg to 5.0 mg every 6 hours, yesterday @ 10:30 am but it didnt seem to touch them...

Well I am hoping to keep this little guy in a few more weeks... and trying not to worry to much, and wait out these contractions till labor kicks in.

Thank you for all your help, thoughts and prayers.

Prayers and Luck to everyone !!!

oh my! I am catching up on my messages...I am so sorry that you are having such a tough time girl! I hope that baby Tanner can hang in there for a few more weeks. take care and keep us posted!

Oh my goodness girlie! You must be so exhausted - you poor dear!!!!! By the sounds of things, a couple more weeks is all that is left - especially if they are not going to try and stop it! You are on bed rest though so lets hope it stretches out to at least 3 more weeks - I am just concerned about how tired you are going to be! You're final is when? End of this week or next? You just make sure you sleep AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE when you can and keep hydrated! Have you done any research on labour so that you'll know what to expect - best to be prepared as I found. And are you trying to lie on your left side - we want baby's back to be against the left side as it is the best position for coming out - baby's back against your back is the WORST!!! So no laying on your back or slouching or anything like that! You probably know all this, but just in case, lol. Feel free to ask any questions if you need to - you're almost there sweetie!

Tanner is keen to meet everyone! Tanner you have to stay put for a few more weeks! I can not believe that you are so close to the end of your pregnancy. All the best hun xxx

I really can't believe that it's almost that time for you. I remember when we were TTC together. Tell Mr. Tanner that he needs to stay put for a little while longer, but that you can't wait to see him... :) Good luck sweetheart. Keep me filled in.

Just talk to him and tell him he needs to wait 5 more weeks!!

Wow! Your little boy just can't wait to get out can he! :0P I hope he stays in a while longer too! Can't wait to 'meet' him though! And so nuts to think you are almost done! Seems like just yesterday we were staring at the BFP!
