I think it's time for another update ladies
Let's hear em'.
As for me things have been moving along. Lot's of aches and pains though and of course our lovely trip to L&D the other night. I've been having a ton of BH since 19 or so weeks. Never any pattern, but I could have a lot in 1 hour and then none for hours and hours. So Monday afternoon I noticed I was feeling them a lot more than usual. I'm pretty good at drinking plenty of water but decided to drink more anyway. Just made my bladder more full which caused more contractions. I started timing them in the evening and I was getting them every 10-15 minutes so I decided to go to bed and see if laying down helped. Nope, they started getting to 2-8 minutes apart. So off to L&D we went at 1am. While there they were starting to get a little painful. The nurse checked my cervix, it was closed, but she said I was thinning out and in the beginning stages of preterm. So they gave me terbutaline and thankfully it stopped them right away. Terrible side effects though, my heart was racing and I was so jittery and shaky I could barley hold my cup of water. I stayed till 3am and they felt I was okay to leave. Poor DH was trying to make me feel good but I could tell he was worried.
I guess since the doc put me on a stricter diet Leela decided she didn't want to hang around anymore
The contractions stopped for the rest of the night but started back up in the morning. They are not enough to be worrisome now but I'm definitely having more than I normally was before. Mostly just the hardening, no pain.
Other than that we've been working on the nursery and I have 1 shower this weekend and a 2nd one the following weekend. Thank goodness because it's time to get totally prepared. She may come early.
How's everyone else doing??
