So.
I went to the hospital to get checked, and had the worst exam of my life. Never has me crotch been subjected to such carnage. I was 1/2 a centimeter and contracting sporadically. Woo. An hour later I was 2 centimeters. I was given some pill that made me feel like my body was melting, can't remember what it was called. Then they put me on Magnesium Sulfate through an IV. I got a steriod shot in my ass to devolop my little one's lungs, and was wheeled down to ultrasound. She looks just fine and does not seem to be under any stress, so that was good. I got to see her making little sucking motions with her mouth, that was so cute! She is face up though, hopefully she will turn in the coming weeks.
I got wheeled back to my room, and stayed there for the next 48 hours without food.
On the Mag IV which btw is the shittiest stuff ever. Felt like I was 2 shots over my limit and would never sober up. *Barf*...After what seemed like weeks of IV's, shots, beeping monitors, and starvation, I finally discharged myself against doctors orders. 48 hours and no food, come on now...I was SO outta there as soon as I knew I wasn't going to be having her. I am offically labled a "difficult patient" and all the nurses fight over who has to see me, lol. I would go hours without being attended to because noone wanted to deal with me, I guess I am not your run off the mill compliant woman...this is horrifying. I hope other women don't just lay there and let the doctors do whatever to them without asking questions and standing up against procedures they don't want!!!!
I have been ordered on bedrest until I reach 36 weeks, (8 more days!!) and have to take a pill every 4 hours to stop my contractions. I am doing much better than I was a couple of weeks ago, but still have some hard days where I wonder if I will be seeing my daughter before the night is through.
I am just hoping I can make till 37 weeks so I don't have to deliver at the hospital...This puts me at August 14, if at all possible. If I can keep her baking until then, I will be STOKED.
If you are interested this is where I'm hoping to deliver my little one..... http://www.womenshealthandbirthcenter.com/photos.htm
It is SOOOOOOOOOOO much nicer and more relaxed than the hospital, I can do whatever the fuck I want here. Eat during labor? Sure! Sit in the pool? YAY! Walk around the garden? Have my baby outside? A OK!
Please baby, stay till August 14!!!!!
