Trip to L&D[very scary]
Tuesday, all day, I kept feeling crampy, my back was hurting and I noticed I was having contractions every 20 min apart. Later on that evening, they started getting closer. I called Labor and Delivery and they told me to take Tylenol, lay down and see if they stopped. If not to come in. They didn't stop. They were every 15 min apart. I was going to just go on to bed and all, but after talking to Sharon for a while she convinced me that I should just go ahead on in a get it checked out. Afterall, I am only 34wks which is still to early for Baby Reagan to get here. So we loaded up and went up there. They hooked me up and the Baby was fine, my BP was fine and all that good stuff but I was having contractions. They had got as close as 5 min apart. They decided I had a Kidney Inf/UTI. This was bringing on the contractions and would have eventually brought on Labor. I felt dumb for going up there for that, but I didn't even thing of that ALL I knew was I was having contractions. So they gave me this yucky stuff called Monural to drink, and sent me home and now I have to drink lots of water and cranberry juice. I do feel much better, and contractions have stopped. I go back to see Dr. Bingham on Wednesday, so I guess she can check me all out then and hopefully I will be recovered! I seriously thought she was coming, no lie!! Still have a few more weeks left....I am looking like a whale now though, so that is why I haven't posted any new pics lately.
Check up on February 20, 2008
So, I'm 33 wks now.... I went to the Doc yesterday and she checked me, I have dialated to 1 1/2 now.... She said that the baby was head down and had dropped into my pelvis. (As I expected, because for the last few days I can breathe better, but now my pubic bone and pelvis and BACK are suffering.) She said she didn't feel that I would just go into labor or anything, but she still wants me to take it easy like I have been doing. I go in another two weeks and then after that every week. My blood pressure was good, urine was good and my blood levels were way better after taking iron pills like candy. I feel that it won't be long and little Miss Reagan will make her grand entrance! ;) I can't wait to see her precious little face! I'll keep you updated! Muah!
Happy Heart Day '08

She said my glucose test was fine. At two months I was anemic. I have been taking an iron pill in addition to my prenatal vitamin. She said that my iron was stull wayyyy low so now I have to take an iron pill in the morning, prenatal at noon, and iron pill at night!! No wonder I have been feeling really bad lately. Being that anemic can make you tired and have headaches. Hopefully I will start feeling better soon!

Yesterday, I went for my check up at 9:45. I had to drink the yucky super sweet orange drink. Sorta like Sunkist x 4! It was gross, but I managed to gulp it down. I felt a little uneasy after drinking it but nothing too bad. An hour later, I almost passed out when the lady came into the waiting room and yanked my are up and proceeded to take my blood. I felt dizzy and broke into a cold sweat.....sheesh! Anyway, had a bigger jump in weight this time. Not to bad at all, the doc just remined me that the Holidays were over and to get back on my normal eating routine. I asked her if I was having twins or a huge baby or something because everyone seems to think I am huge, which I am in the belly. She ensured me that my weight and measurements were right on the money. She told me to tell everyone that pregnant woman come in all shapes and sizes. I just so happen to be one who carries all out front. She said it definately has its positives and negatives. Positive being that my hiney isnt spread from here to china and I dont have alot of extra everywhere else, Negative being that my back will hurt (and it has been, my sciatic nerve kills me) and stretch marks, since I already know how badly I got them with Kullen. I have been lathering myself in four different lotions so maybe that will help! Because of my history with preterm labor and the pressure already on my cervix, she is going to see me every two weeks now, and she will start checking me. Here is where modesty takes the back burner and about fifty people see your stuff--oh well, better to be safe than sorry. If there is a problem I would like to know ahead of time and not when it occurs. I talked to her also about my swelling. My blood pressure was fine and there was no protien in my urine, so that rules out preeclampsia or however its spelled, lol But she said I should walk a little, (not power walk or walk alot) just a few laps to have a little exercise. I am going to go the Highway dept and walk a few laps after work everyday. She also said to watch sodium!!! I will be a busy girl, getting things ready for her big arrival and being as healthy as I can be! Everyone keep your fingers crossed that my cervix holds up!!! ;)
I'll keep you updated!
