Last friday I went into preterm labor. :(
I was 31w2d.
I brought Lailah to school, came home and napped, picked Lailah back up from school, then watched a couple daycare kids for my mom for an hour. Nothing too much. But I started getting contractions every 3-6 mins for 2 hours. I tried lying down, drinking water, resting... but nothing stopped them. So I headed to the ER. I sat in the triage for 4 hours. -.-
Eventually I was seen - around 9:30 or so. I was checked and I was 1cm dilated and 25% effaced. So they hooked me up to a monitor for an hour and 45 mins. When they came back and checked me again I was 2cms dilated and 50% effaced. So they started magnesium and some pill medication to stop contractions and for brain development.They then brought me down to labor room. All night I contracted every 5 minutes. I finally fell asleep around 5am and woke up at around 8am. I was rechecked and everything was the same so they brought me back to another room.
I was discharged Sunday afternoon around 4.
Then today I went to my doctors office and seen a doctor (not mine though) and she said I was still 2 and 50, so stable. Which is good!
Tomorrow I will be 32 weeks. :) I have another drs appt (with my dr) next Monday, then my progesterone and an u/s next Tuesday. So happy to see baby again. :)
