I feel like I could have her any day!

But I probably won’t!  I have been to labor & delivery three times in the last 2 weeks.  Only the last 2 times were actually pregnancy related though.  On Tuesday I starting having MAJOR contractions… 2-3 minutes apart for about 9 hours.  It was painful.  It was the same as what I had when I had Andrew.  I’ve never progressed into labor more than 2 cm, so I have no idea what “real” labor is like.  All I know is it hurt.  I breathed my way calmly through it, went to bed, and when I woke up, things settled down.  The contractions spread out to about 15 minutes apart by time I woke up.  I still decided to go into L&D at Oakwood, just to make sure I hadn’t dilated or anything.  Well, all that pain and breathing later, and I’m still not dilated.

Since leaving the hospital on Tuesday, my contractions have been way less frequent, but I’m in a lot of pain 24/7.  It hurts like hell for me to walk, and it feels like she is going to fall out of me.  I went to my regular NST appointment today and dropped off my jug of pee.  I had protein in my urine on Tuesday so I had to take a big orange bucket home and do that for 24 hours.  I didn’t start it until yesterday though because it was hard to do when I was having contractions!  So anyway, I got my blood drawn, no big deal.  I doubt anything is wrong because in the hospital, I barely had protein in there, so I doubt I have Pre-Eclampsia.  My blood pressure isn’t high either.  So I had my NST, they hooked me up to the monitors… for the first time ever, baby was really quiet and her heart was non-reactive.  Not a big deal either… so for the first time this pregnancy they brought out the “vaz”…. a big grey buzzer and scared the crudballs out of the baby.  BzzzzzzT and all of a sudden she’s kicking, whaling and her heart rate is all over the place.  That’s exactly what they want to see!

I start my weekly appointments next week, yay!  It helps to keep time going on.  It’s hard to believe that I only have about a month left really.  I really like this clinic i’m going too… all the docs and nurses are nice.

So well, who knows if i’ll make it to my c-section date, something tells me not though!
