I was at the hospital again on Tuesday... after being there Monday night for 4 hours I called my OB Tuesday morning and spoe with him about whether I should go to work or not.. He told me that as long as I felt fine (and I did) that I could go but if anything popped up during the day then I was to call him pronto..
So I call my supervisor and tell her that I'm on my way.. go to Toyota, return the loaner car, pay for my car and am on my way to work... well it must have been too much for me since I started breaking down in the car. Got myself to work but within 2 hours I was basically in a lot of pain and eating was not helping like it had on Friday.. so I called the doctor and told him in between my tears what was going on.. He told me to get to the hospital as soon as I could.. get there and the nurses there hook me up to the monitors along with the babies.. the babies are doing great.. Me not so great... turns out I was having contractions so next thing I know I have an IV and am getting a shot of Terbuline and am being sent to get a vaginal u/s to check on my cervix and look for any dilation. Luckily there was no dilation and my cervix was still very long.. so I caught a nice nap (woken by the phone since Lee was panicing that he hadn't heard from me since I hadn't talked to him in hours and my cell phone was forgotten in the car - there were 4 very anxious calls from him). After talking to him I called my mom and told her where I was and she came by right away to be with me. I was at the hospital for 5 hours..
I spent all of Wednesday at home, basically doing nothing (ok a little cleaning but it's hard for me to veg out these days). Lee allowed me out to go to knitting group since I won't be there for a couple of weeks at least due to classes that we have already scheduled.
Today (thursday) I am headed back to work and then I have a scheduled visit to the hospital for a NST at 5:30pm.. should be a fun day since I will want to chat with my supervisor about how much longer I can be there. I mostly sit anyway but still it's a long commute for me at this point anyway and I'd much rather be closer to home if possible.
