01-7-2009 - Preterm Labor

My mood while writing this blog:
Overwhelmed

On Monday night I woke up around 1:30 am with a very small amount of bleeding. I called my doctor and he recommended heading to Akron General. We had to wait for my Dad to get to our house to stay with Gracie who's had a fever the last few days. While we were waiting I started to feel some tightness and cramping. I had had cramping last week and went in for a test that is supposed to tell whether or not you will go into labor in the next 2 weeks and it was negative. Well, it turns out that Gabi really wants to prove that test wrong. lol. We got to the hospital and the bleeding had stopped. But I was having contractions about 2 minutes apart. I wasn't dilated or effaced which was good. They gave me a shot of tributaline (sp?) which is supposed to stop the contractions, well after an hour and a half they started back up again. So they tried a second shot. Same thing. So they ended up admitting me. I got a shot of steroids for the baby's lungs just in case she comes early and gave me a pill to stop the contractions. Unfortunately, they have to watch my blood pressure with this pill so I can't go home on it. Well, I sat here all day yesterday thinking that I would be going home today. Then yesterday afternoon I started having strong contractions again. But they weren't picking them up on the monitor so no one believed me. They were getting worse and worse and I was seriously about to have a melt down and just start crying because I knew something was wrong and no one believed me. Well, finally the nurse was in there while I was having one and I told her, so she looked at my stomach and felt it and she could feel the contraction. Thank God! So they got the doctor back in and she checked me and i was 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. Not good. Well, she said she'd check again in a few hours and luckily there was no change. I haven't had anymore bad contractions. But unfortunately I'm probably going to stay here for a few days :( This is the longest I've ever been away from Gracie and everytime I think about her, I just want to cry. I miss her sooo much! And because she's sick and has had a fever I didn't want her brought up to see me yet. I am sooo hoping she gets better because I can't stand not seeing her. To top it all off, she's sick, and when she's sick, all she wants is her Mommy. I feel like such a horrible Mommy sittting here in this bed when I should be home holding my baby. I know I'm doing what's best for my other baby, but its just so hard. Alright, I'll probably blog again later. Lord knows I have the time.

Oh I'm so sorry you are going through this Rosye! I'm sure Gracie will be fine,... remember how worried you were when you had to leave her with a friend and how well she did? Well, let's hope she does just as well this time - you are not a bad mommy AT ALL - you are doing what is best for you and the baby, which is all you CAN do. I'm thinking of you and hoping baby decides to stay in a while longer!!

I'm so sorry to hear about this. Hopefully she stays put! She isn't done baking yet : ) Graci will be ok. Kids are tougher than we give them credit for. Can someone bring in a picture for you or something of hers? Not as good as having her there, but it is better than nothing! Take care and know we are all thinking about you!

Hi Rosye!! I definitely know what youre going through. I'm also going thru pre-term labor and was hospitalized a week. I was sent home but on the condition of complete, complete bed rest. I can only get up to use the bathroom, shower and dr visits. Its definitely frustrating. While in the hospital I was also given BREATHIN for contractions and the steroriods for the babys lungs. While on bed rest, my cervix has closed up quite a bit and we are just praying I make it to 32 weeks atleast. I get a vaginal U/S of my cervix weekly and the detal fibronectin every 2 wks. Be thankful you followed your instinct and continue being monitored. Youre in my thoughts, Hon!!

I wish the best for you and your baby. I'm just glad they didn't send you home like I was at 28 weeks, I still have contractions about 15min apart, but they said they can't do anything... Just hold in there, things will work out for the best.

Awww... I will keep you, Gabi and little Gracie in my prayers and just try to stay strong! I know the hospital is the last place you probably want to be right now, but they will take good care of you and baby! Keep us up to date!
