So the last few days have been a doozie. On Tuesday at my normal NST (Non Stress Testing) appt the nurses noticed some pretty regular contractions on the monitors. Although I hadn't really felt anything, they did start to get more regular and tight as I was at the appointment. So the docs decided to refer me to Triage (at Kaiser Morse unfortunately, since Roseville doesn't open til next Tuesday). After being admitted the doctors did a check and found out the contractions were definitely causing me to dilate. I was 2cm by the time I made it to Morse. After some medication which I will probably butcher the spelling of (Nyphetamine?) they were able to reduce the contractions down to practically zero. They also gave me steriod shots to develop her lungs early in case the contractions continued to be regular, but luckily they did not.
So after two days at Kaiser Morse, I was finally discharged this morning on medication. And wow, I cannot WAIT for Kaiser Roseville to open. We were moved around to three different Triage and antepardum rooms - all of which seemed to get worse and worse.
So now I am on strict bedrest until the docs feel that it is safe to take me off nyphetamine and let everything progress as normal. Once they do that, it could be the same day that I deliver, or this all could be a fluke and she may even be past due. Awh the joys of pregnancy!
So, look for my top ten items to do while on bedrest. So far I like the 5 hours of Small Claims Judge shows on TV. Judge Judy - Joe Brown - People's Court ... its pretty entertaining and educational :).
