Hey girls!
Sorry I want online last night, I got admitted into the hospital at 1 am! Some friends and I were driving out to the lake (about a 45 minute drive away) when like.. 10 minutes away I started feelin contractions. I thought it was false labour like before so I ignored it but they started gettin real bad and makin me nauseous so I finally told tim and all my friends were freakin out cuz I was crying and so we drove back into town and went to the hospital. I got to the front desk and they admitted me into the maternity ward immediately. They hooked me up to that fetal moniter thingy and checked my cervix and that.
I am 1 cm dilated and I dont know how much effaced but she said my cervix is very soft and the baby's head is right there and much lower (i dont know what station that is??)
baby was responding well to the contractions so they kept me like that till 2, then they decided to give me a shot of demerol and somethign else (she never hoked me to an iv in case) so about 2:30, tim left the hospital and I went to sleep... Kept gettin woken up every hour by the nurses to hok the machine up and check my blood pressure.
Then I had breakfast
kinda gross toast but I liked the eggs haha! And they checked the fetal moniter again and baby was kickin lots so they said I could be discharged but my doctor told me I might go by the end of this week now yay!!!!
Thought i'd let u all know! I didnt have a chance to get on here and tell u guys.. But if i'm ever gone a whole day (cuz im on here at least everyday) then u'll know im in the hospital! im so excited and scared now!!!! I bet it was all that walkin I did yesterday! Lol! Im still too groggy and what not to go walking (they put the demerol in my right side hip so its still hurts to sit on it) but i'll try some walking today! Lil baby might be here soon! Sorry so long, just thought i'd tell u everything that happened haha!
