L&D

On Wednesday day/night I was getting some pretty intense pressure in my pelvis, and some contractions. I didn't think much of the contractions, because it's a regular occurrence for me. The pelvic pressure wasn't. It was something I would only feel right before I would give birth to my children. So it concerned me some but I didn't want to jump the gun just in case it was nothing. After it kept me up the entire night, and didn't go away that morning I decided to call my Dr. after some advice that I should. I left a message with the nurse and tried to lay down the best that I could with 4 kids needing to be looked after. I was still feeling this constant pressure, and starting to get uncomfortable contractions. The nurse called back a couple of hours later and told me that I needed to go get monitored at labor and delivery. UGHHHHH not this again. Seems like a repeat of Emma. I went in so much with her. I don't think my body likes to be pregnant in the summer. So after dropping off my kids at my sister in laws house my mother in law drove me to the hospital and Jonathan met me there. They hooked me up to the monitors and tried to find out what the problem was. They said I didn't have any contractions the whole time I was there, but I did. I think they had the contraction sensor up too high on my belly. It's ok, if it showed they would have given me this drug to stop them and that stuff is horrible. They stopped on their own anyway. They did an ultrasound and I got some great pictures. (I'll post them later) Miriam is weighing 2lbs 14oz at the moment. After a while they said they couldn't figure why I was having this pressure and sent me home to go to my dr. so he could do another ultrasound to see if he could solve the mystery. The next day I go to the Dr. and he does an ultrasound and sees that the babies head is laying right on my cervix and the last time I went in which was a week ago she was laying across my belly. So the pressure was most likely from her moving to head down position and putting pressure on my cervix. I have to be more careful and not stand for long periods of time, stay out of the heat, and not carry Benjamin too much. It's going to be hard because I just want to get things done right now. But a baby born 10 + weeks too early is not a good thing. So the drama of this pregnancy continues and tune in next week to see what happens. Hopefully nothing.
