A scare

The title pretty much sums it up, Friday was a little bit (ok a lot of bit) of a scare. I guess I will start from the beginning. As most of you know I had aryssa early, at 34 weeks and a couple hours) because of that I am doin the 17p shot to help prevent preterm labor. I get my shot every Monday until november 14th. Well this past Wednesday I wa having random contractions throughout the day but nothing too consistent so I wasn't too worried. I came home drank a bunch of water and laid down all night. Thursday during the day I was much better and didn't notice any contractions. Then came Thursday night... Contractions woke me up about midnight. They were hard core contractions with pulling and cramping, the whole nine yards. I got up went to the bathroom and tried to lay back down. They continued all night until about 5am. Looking back I probably should have woke grant up and went in to the hospital (given my preterm history). So grant got up as normal and when he work me up he asked how I slept (something he does every morning) and I told him about the contractions. He told me to call the dr and get in. So I get ready for work get aryssa up and drop her off at the sitters. I went to work and pretty much sat there and waited until 8am when the ob nurses were available. I told the nurse everything and she said given my history I should come in for an appointment and they had an opening at 840am. So dr Jamie just walk into the clinic by me and I said good morning I am leaving for the dr. She said you know your body get out of here! So I called grant let him know I was on my way to the dr and I would keep him posted. I get to the office and my dr was asking about the week I told her everything and she said let's check you out. So she checked me and I was 1cm dilated but still firm. That was good news but she still wanted to monitor the contractions. So I was hooked up to the non stress test to monitor everything. I was on there for an hour and man the contractions picked up! The machine picked them up every 1 1/2 to 2 minuets. My dr didn't like that so much so she said let's get you over to labor and delivery and hook you up to some IV fluids. So I got the wheelchair ride to l&d for more monitoring and IV. When I got there the contractions were still evey 1 1/2 to 2 min apart. They pushed one bag through really fast and hooked up another. My dr came to check me again and said there wasn't any change and still 1cm. That was great news because that meant the contractions were not doing any cervical change. But the contractions were still too intense and close to send me home. By that time grant was at the hospital because I was getting scared and the dejavue of aryssa coming early was in the back of my mind. So grant and I just hung out for the afternoon. The dr decided to give me a shot of turb (I don't know the official name) to help stop contractions. So the waiting game was on. This is what happene with aryssa, then my water broke so I was just praying that didn't happen again. My sister was praying, she had a request out on Facebook and I new god wa on my side. I mean aryssa was already a week old at this point so I knew he would be ok, but I still want him cooking! By 4pm my contractions were weak and about 6-9 min apart. My dr came in to check if there was any change and there wasn't! Still only 1 cm and still firm. With that she decide I could go home, but at any point to come straight back in, but said she was confident that I would be fine. So off we went we picked up aryssa came home and grant ordered me to drink water and lay down! He is so demanding! I was exhausted from the night before and the long stressful day I went to bed at 830pm! I got up a lot to pee ( with 2 bags of fluid and drinking all that water) but I didn't feel any contractions :) today we kept it pretty low key grant said I was on house arrest, even though the dr gave me the all clear and to resume normal activity. I told him he can't keep me locked up all day! He then said "Rory lay down" lol anyone that knows my dad knows he can't sit still ever and isn't patient at all! I told him I will drink my water and watch myself. The neighbors asked if we wanted to do lunch and we did (had Hu Hot and it was amazing) we then went to target to pick up some baby things to be prepared and grant was looking at going home outfits, but didn't find anything. We were going to go grocery shopping, but I was getting tired and wore out so he dropped me and aryssa off at home and went by himself. So overall everything is alright now, no contractions since Friday and that is great! My next dr is Tuesday so we will just go from there! Thanks to everyone that was thinking of us and praying for us it means a lot! Keep it going that carson stays put (at least for a week or two more)!
