Doctor's appointment

Went to the doctor today, gained 4lbs and my BP is up still so we are doing a 24 hour urine and if that shows 300+ of protein we are gonna have a baby on Thursday! I am so ready!

Doctor's appointment

So I am now 4cm and 70% but not in active labor! I am miserable and hope he comes soon. I am having irregular contractions and cramping often so technically I have been in labor since Sunday!

Doctor's appointment

No changes today still 3cm 60% effaced and still contracting, so we are just watching and waiting. I did lose some weight which usually happens before delivery, and my mucus plug is gone as well. We are egar to get things going and hoping he will be here soon. I am ready, getting pretty miserable with the contractions and all. Not to much longer we hope.

False Alarm......

Well all night long on Saturday I was having contractions not strong, but pretty forceful, and very irregular after a bath and some Tylenol they didn't ease up so I called the doctor at 8:30 am and she told me to come on in since I was already dilated. So we got there and I was checked still 2cm 50% effaced so she watched me for an hour, I was contracting irregularly for the whole hour, some were 2 mins apart others were 5 so very inconsistent. After the 1st hour there was little change but she wanted to wait another hour since my contractions were so close together and pretty strong. Well after another hour I was 3cm 60% effaced so she made the determination I was in labor and admitted me. We got comfortable in our room and she started the IV, well after I got 500mL's of fluid the contractions stalled out and after 6 hours of walking, sleeping and very spaced out contractions I was released. So we had a major false alarm, my doctor thought for sure we are gonna have a baby and so did I. Those IV fluids was all it took so now we just wait and see. So needless to say we are still pregnant and I am now having contractions on and off.

I am dialatetd!

Went to the doctor today and I am 2cm dilated and 50% effaced! So he may make an entrance into the world within the next two weeks or so! I hope sooner than later! Exciting! I didn't gain any weight but that isn't surprising seeing we are so close to the end and it's so hot outside. Exciting!

Doctor apt

My appointment today went well, no ketones in the urine, my BP was great and I gained 1lb (total of 17) so things are better. Finally a little good news after a week of pretty crummy news!

Dehydration

So after battling a virus for almost a week it won and I ended up in the hospital to get IV fluids.....I just stayed about 6 hours and they pumped me full of 3000 mL's of fluid and potassium and sent me on my way. My WBC count was elevated which is a little cause for concern but I am feeling better and the cramping and contractions are gone so hope that did the trick. According to my urine and lab work I was pretty dehydrated, I follow up with my OB on Wednesday and I'm gonna take it easy for the next few days.....I have to keep him in there at least a few more weeks!
