Yeah for doctor appointments

Today I went to the doctor for my last visit before baby Hoskins comes.

Let me tell you the story...

Yesterday I was having contractions again every 3 minutes. So I called Ryan home from work, we dropped the kids off at my parents house and we headed up to the hospital. When we got there I was check, and was at a 3. 20 minutes later I was checked again and was still at a 3. So we got up and walked for 30 minutes and then was checked again, a three still, but a 3+. The nurse called my doctor and he decided to send me home. :( Bummer.

They gave me nothing to stop the contractions, and told me to go home take an bath and drink lots of fluids. After and hour long bath and 64oz of Gatorade I was still having contractions. I took some Tylenol PM and tried to get some sleep. The contractions continued to keep me awake and even made me throw up a few times. I resolved myself to the fact that I was going to be in labor for the next 3 weeks. :( Double bummer!

I went to the doctor today with fire in my eyes. I just can't function having contractions all day long and try to take care of two young kids and a house. I was weighed at the office and have lost yet another pound, had high blood pressure and a bladder infections. I was at my wits end when the doctor came in. He checked me... I am at a 4 now. He said, "Now you were in the hospital last night right?" A yeah... duh! He then asked me what happened. Um... you sent me home Sherlock! He then took a moment and looked at my chart. Then with some amount of shock said, "Wow you were in labor with your daughter for a really long time. Almost 24 hours? How is that?"

At this point my blood was boiling. So my response was... "Well you see, if I were a pioneer I would still be in labor. My body gets to a 4 and then stays there. For hours, maybe days, weeks or years. With my daughter finally at 4 am I was given Patocin and then she was born 4 hours later. I'm sure that this one is the same way."

He thought for a few moments and said... "If I wold have looked at your chart last night I would have never sent you home." ARRGH!!

So he has given me a prescription for a med that makes false labor stop. If however what I have isn't false it does nothing. If this doesn't stop the contractions I am to tell the nurse that I have been on a med that stops false labor and that she needs to call my doctor. He at that point will instruct them to give me that pit and get this baby out.

If the contractions don't continue then I am to wait until Tuesday where I will just be induced. So the whole point of this long story is that the very last day that I could be having this baby is Tuesday March 4th. Just so that you are all aware that We will have a baby by then if not sooner.
