Pre-Term Labor

Well I gues if it's not one thing it's another. Yesterday morning I went to the doctor with blood pressure problems..nothing new this happens at least once or twice a week. I got there and they decided they were going to send me to a high risk doctor to get a second opinion on how to treat the pre-eclampsia. They can't deliver this early without a second opinion. I will be seeing the same specialist that I saw when I was pregnant with Kaylee that had me go ahead and deliver. So we will see how that goes..my appointment is next week. So my blood pressure came down and they sent me on my way!!

Around 2:45 yesterday afternoon I started having contractions. I have had a few contractions so far with this pregnancy but they were never closer than 30 minutes apart. These contractions were coming 5-10 minutes apart but they didn't hurt so I decided that I would wait a little while before calling the doctor. After 2 hours of having contractions consistentally every 5-10 minutes I decided I would give them a call. So of course they told me to come in and get checked out just to be on the safe side. I was hesitant to go because I was thinking maybe it wasn't really contractions and I was just crazy..haha!! But sure enough when I got there and the hooked me up on the monitors I was having them. So they monitered me for a while and they weren't stopping so they decided to give me a shot or turbutaline (spelling). They checked my cervix and I wasn't dialating so after the medicine kicked in and stopped the contractions I got to go home.

The nurse said that the medicine will only last for a while and that if it continues to happen they might put me on this medication until I deliver. So we will see..hopefully this was just a fluke thing and it doesn't happen again!!
