A labor and delivery visit for me today.

Hello all. I woke up at 8am this morning and had contrx every few mins.. I drank my water layed on the left side.. Nada would work. So by 1030 i said time to go and make sure chickpea is doing okay. We got up there at the ER and the lady wanted to argue with me on how far along i am. Hello i have had this pregnancy monitored from conception due to having a procedure to get pregnant! ugh. So she tells me to go to L&D so i did. THen the nurse in L&D says no it is ER for you but the head nurse says oh we know her and she is quite familiar with my history and says no keep her on my floor and take her. Finally thanks! So they put me on the contrx monitor.. Sure as gold they were showing up.. So i got reunited with terb shots. Man those are a walk in the park compared to P17 anyday. LOL. The doc on call wanted my cervix checked on by u/s he said no fingers near it! (p.s. he knows me too! lol) So they measure and the tech.. guess what he remembered me from miscarrying maddy.. i almost cried my eyes out. HE says i remember you on my table and i had to tell you bad news. Oh dude dont bring that up. But then he says. I remember you with your other girls too and let me guess you are having contrx. Yep einstein! So he measures and says OH WE HAVE FORT KNOX! PRAISE GOD! Then says fluid levels are wonderful! Baby measured beautifully. Hb was wonderful! I cried! He says imo and i am not a doc but i can see those bowels are full on my u/s so that could be causing issues. So the nurse calls the doc, doc says it is a combo of my uterus not playing fair games which i will have to deal with this pregnancy. (Nothing new for this mommma.. not a high risk pregnancy for no good reason ;) ) he also thinks that my slow bowel is giving us more complications.. HE wants water intake now up 110oz a day. Umm give me my floaties so i can go on and float down the river. But i will do whatever i have to! I am now on modified br this weekend and pelvic rest until 32wks. Sorry dh no sex for you for a LONG time! Oh gotta tell you his remark to that.. He says good thing we had good sex the other night huh.. OMG ROFL.. Yes dear. (he said it right in front of the nurse!) So i am terb pills and modified rest now.
So that was my exciting saturday when we actually had planned to spend time with friends.. But hey making sure baby is okay is top priority for this momma! :) Oh one thing i did not mention up above is that the tech would not confirm boy or girl but we seen the goods and if my trained eyes are right.. it is another girl. Lidia Gayle will be her name i think. That is subject to change. If you can send me some prayers to make it full term i would be ever so grateful!

Definitely no walk in the park for you, but so glad you're both okay! Here's a tip about the water -- use a straw and you tend to drink more, faster. I hope your bathroom isn't way down the hall like ours is. Uggh!
