1st trip to Labor and Delivery

Starting last night I was having some abdominal pain off and on. I did really think much about it at the time. Well I woke up in the middle of the night several times with cramps and finally just gave up on sleep at 4am b/c they were so bad. I was thinking that I must have just eaten something bad or something. Well as I was up, they started to come more frequently so 7:30am I decided to give my OB a call. She sent me into labor and delivery to be observed. We had a really nice nurse and got me all hooked up so they could measure Beany's heartbeat and any contractions. Beany was doing fine and I got to have my first internal exam...boy that was fun. But thankfully she is still locked up tight. I was having a few sporadic contractions in addition to my abdominal cramps but they had me down a lot of water under the threat of IV fluids. I did not want an IV if I could help it. So all and all it turns out I have an UTI and that is what was causing everything. So they sent me home with an antibiotic called into the pharmacy and now here we are. I am on the couch and Michael is putting the crib together. I guess it is about time we got to that! LOL

So thankfully all is fine and I should be feeling better by tomorrow and I was happy to have a good experience with this hospital since it is brand new to me.
