So yesterday I had some bloody mucus. It was very minimal but I decided I would call my doctor today just to let them know what was going on. Well my primary was out and the on call doc decided I needed to go to the ER. My husband and I both thought that sounded a little extreme but I wasn't going to argue with her. So off I went. Well shortly after they hooked me up baby decided to scare the crap out of all of us and have two major heart rate drops. So doc ordered IV fluids and internal and external ultrasound. Baby looked perfect and they decided the heart rate drops were probably just baby squeezing the cord. So that was good news but then they inform me that I am in fact having preterm contractions. Since my cervix is long, firm, and closed I'm not actually in pre term labor. They gave me a medicine that works on smooth tissue and the contractions stopped right away. So now I have to stay on the meds every six hours round the clock. It is scary to me that I was contracting but I can't feel it so I didn't know it was happening. I have a follow up with my OB Wed morning to come up with a long term plan. This baby is so much drama!!!
