Bah.
I had my weekly appointment yesterday, where they checked my BP and all that good stuff as usual. I am 1 cm dilated, and my blood pressure has been pretty high for the past few days so the MW decided to just go ahead and send me over to the hospital for a non-stress test and to monitor my BP for a bit. Once we got over there they got me in pretty quick, checked my blood and strapped these monitors around my tummy. The monitor was fucking obnoxious because she kept running away from it, so they couldn't get a decent reading for long periods of time and kept having to come in and adjust it. -_- After a while my BP went down and the baby was fine, but they told me that my Potassium was really low when they drew blood so I had to have an 8 hour potassium drip through an IV. I HATE IVs. I was pretty pissed about this. lol. The nurse who tried to put my IV in was terrible, she tried THREE times in the same hand before getting another nurse to do it, who got it on her first try in my other hand. I was even more pissed at this point. :P
So, IV was in for a couple hours until they finally moved me into an actual room in labor & delivery where I stayed until around 10:30 pm. When the banana bag was done, the nurse told me that I'm a bit anemic and need to eat certain foods and told me that I need to rest as much as possible to avoid anymore BP issues.
During all this I attempted to call my mother and tell her what was going on but she wouldn't answer the phone. I left a few messages, but forgot that she has been using my phone and didn't have the pin to the voicemail... lol. Apparently she borrowed someone's car and went all the way to the hospital (an hour away from our house) and they told her that I had been discharged already when I definitely hadn't been. -_- So needless to say she was freaking out for a while trying to figure out what the hell was going on.
Anyway, I am making progress as far as dilation goes so baby should be coming soon hopefully. I r hungry!
