[SIZE=12pt]YESTERDAY, I would have updated that all was going great, no more complications and that we were leaving for vacation in Montana on Saturday....today is a different story...[/SIZE]
Last night about 9 I started having very strong contractions (I'm 29 weeks). I got in the shower for about 30-40 minutes and laid on my left side, just letting the water relax me. The ctx didn't stop, but weren't as intense. As soon as I got out, they were every 5 minutes and strong. I called my MW at a little before 11 and she told me to go to the hospital.
Once at the hospital (hour drive with VERY strong ctx), the ctx had slowed, but were still there. They gave me a shot of Breathine, figuring it would stop them fast and we could go home.
No such luck, as soon as I relaxed a bit, WHAM, they were back, even stronger than in the car. Shot #2 of Breathine did nothing either except give me the major shakes (whole body) and the ctx were 2-3 MINUTES long, VERY strong and with only about 30 seconds in between them. They were as strong as when I requested an epidural with Mia! They decided to admit me and knock me out, continuing the Breathine.
Mia handled it all wonderfully, not getting upset and enjoying the attention, even at 2 AM! Steve did super, handling me and Mia
I finally got to sleep about 3:30, waking twice to pee and the ctx were MUCH better. They sent me home on bedrest, again, on Breathine and also Phenergan for nighttime contractions as needed.
We are home and I'm in bed...with my computer still set up on my nightstand from the previous bedrest thank goodness! We were supposed to fly to MT on Saturday, so Steve's on the phone right now to see about changing our plane tickets to Christmas or Spring Break :-((
ALL through EVERYTHING the "Bean" KICKED, PUNCHED and constantly showed how much were ticking him off <g>
