Sunday was a day that I wasn't expecting to go to the hospital, but these boys had a different plan for me. I was walking up my stairs and tripped onto my belly. I got scared because I was cramping, so I went to labor and delivery. Once i got there they tested my urine, it was good, blood preasure was good. They hooked me up to the heart rate monitor and contraction machine. I was having some minor contractions but nothing they were worried about, but because I fell I had to stay in the hospital overnight (EEEEKKKK, my 1st night at the hospital by myself) Shauna got off work and came to see how I was doing, while she was there I started to get more cramping and pain so they hooked me back up to the monitors, I was having a lot of irritability and cramping. They decided to give me a shot of Terbuline(which relaxes my uterus so I stop contracting) lets just say the shot makes you feel like you are on drugs. My heart was racing and the boys heart rates went up a little as well. The shot worked almost immediately, Shauna left for the night and each monitor after that was good. I got discharged at 1030 so I could go home and get ready for my appointment with my Peri.
The peri appointment went well, the babies are 1lb 3oz and 1lb 4oz, both looking very good and healthy. They will finally start to put on their baby fat weight now so they have to continue to keep baking in the oven. They did say that my fluid levels were increase around the babies and could possibly be why I keep having my braxton hicks contractions. My cervix is still at 3.5cm which is good anything under 2.5cm is a concern. Ive been resting a lot since then and just trying to take it easy, but figured I needed to update my journal because I had a pretty big journey these last two days. Will be posting my 23wk belly pics sometime this week.
