I just wanted to let everyone know what is going on with me and this little bundle of joy... well as of right now the little stinker!!
At my last doctor's appointment which was the 4th, I let the Dr. know that I was having off and on contractions and pressure. I was at 2cm and 20%. Wellllll....
I had to go into the hospital on Thursday afternoon, with contractions. I was at 3cm and 60%. After some steroids and the medication to stop the labor they sent me home about 10 that night. I had to come in the next day for more steroids... while they monitored me I was contracting but nothing constant, so they released me. Around 7 Friday night, I was in tears and thought for sure I was in full on labor. After monitoring me, giving me more labor stop medicine, my Dr. admitted me. I am now at 4cm and 75%. Soooooo as the doctor said, I am on FULL... lay in bed bedrest. As long as I go two to three more weeks, things should be good. And I am going to listen, she told me if I have to come in one more time they'll admit me to the hospital! And I so don't want to do that... just that one night was no fun, so uncomfortable.
So we are just wanting... the doctor says as long as I go two to three more weeks, everything should be good. And the steriod shots helped... So... let's hope that this lil one is good with stayin in and cookin a lil longer!!!!

Maybe this will be a great opportunity for you to be waited on! I hope everything goes well and that he/she stays put for a little while longer.
I am so sorry you are going through this. Good luck, and call on us when you need anything.
Way to go Christie! Hooray for a doctor that is letting you stay home! Weeks in the hospital are NO fun! You're little stinker will be okay. Are you on medication to keep you from going [further] into labor? I wish there was something we could do to help. Please let us know. Our prayers are with you and your little one!
Aww what a pain. I don't know how people do bedrest I would go insane, plus I think that doctors don't consider the other kids factor when they say you must stay in bed. But on the other hand forced rest does sound good. :)
Hey Christie- hope you're letting everyone wait on you hand and foot! send me your email so I can send you an invite to my blog - nicole@desertbrilliance.com
