Well, we spent about 3 hours in L&D tonight. I woke up this morning with some lower back pain, around 2ish, I started having contractions, and between 3 and 4 I had 3, so, I called Dr., the office was already closed, so I called the exchange and the on call dr. called back. I explained what was going on and he said since I hadn't had 4 in an hour, to go ahead and take another pill, so, I did. Between 4 and 5:47 when I called him back, I had 5 contractions, so, he said, just to be on the safe side, head on out to St. Anthony's. Got there a little after 6, peed in a cup and they hooked me up to everything. The babies heart rates were great, they were moving around like crazy, my blood pressure was 133/82, high for me, but, not bad, and my heart rate was 127. They sent my urine down to be tested and we did the waiting game. They made me drink a bunch of water in case I was dehydrated, and kept threatening to hook me up to an IV. The hospital dr. checked me and I had not dilated, so, all we had to do was wait to hear from the lab. Results came back around 9, I have a very bad urinary tract infection, so, I'm on antibiotics for that. They picked up 4 contractions in the 2 hours I was there, so, rather than taking 2.5 mg of terbutaline 3 times a day, I am now taking 5 mg every 4 hours. Fun. Like I don't shake enough, but, I know I have to, so......anyway, I go back to the Dr. Friday and will update then!
