Well back to Labor and Delivery!

OK OK....I didn't want to go! I am starting to think they think I am crazy down there at Labor and Delivery! BUT the Dr. on call and L and D (they gave me their number) advised me to come in. We had a pretty good day....walked down to get the kids from school and when I got home my tummy was rock hard. I figured it was just something that happens. Well I guess it can be considered stressful on the baby. I called the Doc on call and she said to lay down on my left side and if it doesn't loosen up go to L and D. I ended up taking a long bath and that still didn't help. I then called L and D and they said come in as a precaution. I made them promise they wouldn't think I was crazy! LOL We got there about 8:30 PM. They hooked me up to the monitors and started monitoring the baby and my contractions. I was still having sporadic ones. The nurse then came in and said....Ok why don't you guys go walk for an hour. We are thinking "where?" Bill was thinking downtown and I was thinking to the nearest DQ...lol We figured out before we left she meant around the building. When we got back from walking...I was hurting pretty bad. They hooked me back up and put me on my side. Well....I got the worst pain in my right side and it wouldn't go away! The Nurse that was on duty was new and hadn't seen much....so I was fun to her. When she looked at my swollen feet...she said they were "impressive!" LOL She also said that I had crappy veins because they had to put in an IV. The baby's heartbeat was all over the place and they made us wait to get it under a little more control. They offered me Demerol and phenigrin and I declined...how stupid am I! Finally at 2:30 am they let us go home. I was in quite a bit of pain and couldn't fall asleep. I finally fell asleep around 4:00 and woke at 9:45 am. It was not long enough, but I could only lay on my left side. Went back to the Dr. today and nothing has changed. I am still pregnant! Dangit!
