Hospital Visit, Take Two
From Facebook:
"Sooo I just got back from the hospital. I went in early this morning after out-of-control vomiting and the beginnings of diarrhea which my doctor thinks was probably food poisoning.
By the time I got there, I was having real contractions every 2 minutes and dilated to a 2 and soft. She's also engaged and head down. I was started on IV fluids and zofran to help replenish what I had lost due to the vomiting and keep me from vomiting more. Because I'm only 37 weeks, the nurse gave me a betamethasone shot to help develop baby's lungs in case I delivered (which STUNG.) Then she gave me another shot to make the contractions stop (which was even worse.) Later, I was measuring at a solid 3, possible 4. They kept me overnight, monitoring baby and I and continuing fluids.
By the time I was discharged, I had started having Braxton Hicks again but I managed to convince the nurse that I was already due to come back in the morning (for the second dose of the betamethasone) so she released me! It's awfully nice to be laying in my own bed not hooked to anything even though baby might decide she really does want to come now (in which case they won't stop labor again.) Eep!"
