@Mrs Green Grass: I'm glad to hear the contractions are slowing down! Keeping you and the baby in my thoughts!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Saw your blog post over the wknd and thought of you<3 keeping you in my prayers.
-
I'll just keep updating as I have them:
My contractions were a little more frequent over the night (never more than 6, but they'd prefer under 4). So that means probably at least 1 more day on the mag which is ok.
My real doc is "on" today, so I'll get to see her which is nice.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Sorry to hear about your complications, but am happy to hear that you and the baby are improving on daily basis!! Yay!! Stay in there baby and bake awhile longer. It's a crazy world out here, so trust me, it's to your benefit to stay put for as long as you can!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Thinking of you, and I hope everything turns out ok for you and your baby.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Saw the post on your blog...looks like things are starting to look up (-ish) - hope it stays that way!
-
thinking about you! this happened to a close friend a 24 weeks and she actually had to be induced at 39 weeks!! hope this is the same for you
-
oh no! i was out all weekend, so i'm just seeing this now! sending lots of prayers your way! stay in there baby green grass! you have some growing to do little one.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Hope you continue to feel better and get some rest! Being in the hospital isn't the worst thing in the world!
-
hope all is going a little better!! thoughts are with you!
-
@shoemama: That sounds like a plan to me!
So the contractions were a little more frequent over the night so we're not stopping the magnesium and we actually upped it a little bit (I say "we" like I had any say!). I think I'll pretty for sure be on it until Friday at the earliest.
But I got an air mattress on my bed! My bum is so happy!
I've felt really busy today with getting school stuff together and I had an ultrasound and a visitor so it's been a pretty good day so far, but I'm getting all grouchy with everyone on the phone.
That's the update of the moment...
-
@Mrs Green Grass: tell someone to bring you a chocolate covered cherry Blizzard, stat!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: Yay air mattress! Do you have any decent food or people to play board games with?
I hope the new dose of mag starts working asap! -
@Mrs Green Grass: Sending happy thoughts your way and for more good days ahead! If you're into epic fantasy, try Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan. It's a LOT more women friendly than A Song of Ice and Fire. By friendly, I mean it portrays women in a more positive light.
-
And Thursday is almost here. C'mon baby GG! You want to cook more!
-
Great job mama....my advice is to order ever little thing you can with each meal....puddings, salads, yogurts etc.....it made me feel vindicated ; )
-
@Mrs. Jacks: The stupid hospital counting system won't give it to me until Friday. But I'll still feel good on Thursday too.
The air mattress is changing my (new) life!
So my contractions seem to be worst when DH is here in the evenings (by worst, I mean most frequent, not any stronger). This stresses him out and then stresses me out even more! I asked if talking about stressful stuff like how much attention the dog is getting (yes that's one of my biggest stressors right now) could increase them, but they said it would be more likely that I actually had to go to the bathroom : ).
My ultrasound yesterday showed no major cause for bleeding which I probably already told you so overall, I'm a "boring" patient. I had traces of bleeding yesterday, but not enough to worry anyone. Contractions were pretty consistent at 6 an hour yesterday which is more than the day before (so they upped my magnesium to 1.75) but overnight they were calmer and so far this morning too I think.
I've got a full slate of visitors today...I'm almost worried about it! The first is the sub who is taking over for me. I've met him because he taught a conference I attended, but he won't know me. I'm really hoping I can have someone find my bra before he gets here.
-
Relax as much as you can, lady! Hopefully the visitors make the day go by fast
-
Good job keeping that baby baking! Every additional day is a victory!
-
Poor you! Glad you are mostly feeling okay and hopefully all is well by Friday.
-
@Mrs Green Grass: I'm so sorry that you're on bed rest and in the hospital right now. The last thing you need is any additional stress!
But I did find your last line hilarious, "I hope someone can find my bra for me before he gets here..."
-
@2PeasinaPod: We had to unhook the IV, but I DID wear my bra. My mom had stuffed the bag of clothes way into the farther corner of the room, but the nurse was nice enough to get it for me. : )
-
@Mrs Green Grass: sounding promising girl. Glad things are improving a little - I hope they continue to!
-
Glad to hear things are still going OK. Thanks for keeping us updated. Thinking of you lots!
-
Glad you got your bra. And your air mattress. How's the book?
-
Hope things are still going okay for you and you aren't too bored yet!
-
Ask your mom or DH to bring you a strapless bra next time - that way, you won't have to unhook the IV to put the girls back in their place!
Glad things are still staying steady!
-
Thinking about you lady! Tomorrow is VDAY!!!!
-
How's it going today??
-
@Mrs Green Grass: @winniebee: I was just looking for your post and going to ask the same thing! Do you have any good magazines or books to read? How are the overnight arm sticks going? Do you have any fave nurses yet?
-
Hope everything is going well.. thinking of you!!!
-
Glad to hear you have a line up of visitors today! Make sure you get lots of rest though and dont' over due it! You want that baby to keep cooking!
-
LOL Glad you got your bra!
I'm praying for you honey. I know everything is going to work out. I just know it is!
-
Hey lovely hope you're doing well today!
-
Should I just make new threads or continue on here...let me know your preference.
DAY 5 UPDATE:
I'm only getting stuck twice a day 6 and 6 - sooo much better.
I'm still have small evidence of bleeding; mucusy/red - mostly only when I wipe and not all day.
Contractions seem to be greater in the evening 6-7 hr.
Today has been 3/hr most of day.
I've never had a repeat nurse since this ward is pretty big, but I definitely judge them on a few factors!I started steroids today in case I have to deliver soon. (WILL NOT HAPPEN!) It's 2 butt shots. OW.
Otherwise, it's really wait it out until this weekend and then consider switching to orals, then watching more. They would probably want me calm for a week before they'd let me leave. But I'm not real concerned with leaving, just not delivering.
I love you all : )
-
@Mrs Green Grass: keep updating here so we always know where to look for updates and don't miss new threads! I think about you a lot. I'm so glad the doctors are helping you keep that baby cooking! You are doing great mama!
-
@Mrs Green Grass: did they ice your butt before the shot? It helps!
-
Hang in there. Thinking of you.
-
@krsmall: No...and it was at 6am. It hurt quite a bit right then and for about 10 or 15, then i was fine. I only have to get 2 so I think i can stand it.
-
Thanks for all the updates, been thinking of you and sending good no-labour vibes to you guys. Keep cooking that little one in there!!
