33 Weeks 1 day - bedrest for a reason?...or no reason?...hmm

Well, after waking up WAY too early after getting very little sleep, getting in the car without eating a thing, and getting to my regular doctors appointment on time at 8am. I figured the day could only get better from here...That was totally wrong. An appointment in which I was to get a quick internal ultrasound to check cervical length, abdominal ultrasound to check babys position, my weight charted, along with my blood preasure,and then to just have my tummy measured quick...maybe a few minute conversatoin...it should have totalled 45-60min. Instead, everything went according to plan until I got to my doctor appointment. Everything looked wonderful, and she decided just for the fun of it to pop me on the monitor to see if I was having contractions or anything...my cervix was dialated to a 1cm but hasnt changed in 2weeks. I expected it might happen, but new it would be a on and off thing. I'm suposed to be on the machine for 20min. Well I was on for a total of about 6-10min. My doctor came in, and sent me right over to L&D. She said I was contracting every 3min. She put me on bed rest, gave me a painful steriod shot in my right butt cheek, pumped 2000mL of IV fluids in me, took a cathitor urin sample, put me on the monitor at the hospital, and then took some blood test.

I was there an hour with not one contraction, but I peed 4-5times. . . We missed our appointment to see the potencial new pet. My mom was slightly upset because this is the 2nd time I have gone into the clinic leaving Kylyn with her, and ended up being in L&D for hours causing her day to be completely rearranged. Finally after over 2 hours of laying in bed watching TV, peeing every 5-10min, and haveing zero contractions....I asked my nurse if I could go home. She called my doctor who said I could but had to be on bedrest. ... I basically can lay in bed, sleep, lay on my side, watch TV in bed or laying on the cough, go to the bathroom, shower or take a bath, NOT lift anything over 3-5lbs, drive, and walk only when needed. . .

Seriously? I was put on bedrest for no reason. Dumb. Well, I have too much to do, and get done to do nothing. A highschool friend came over and helped Zack and I paint all the doors and door frames, floor boards, and heating registers in our kitchen. I had 2 braxton hicks total. No problem.

I know I am on bedrest, but I KNOW when I'm having labor contractions...real contractions, I know when Im having a braxton hicks contraction, and I know when I'm not having any contractions of any kind...I know when I need to sit down, lay down, eat, pee, or just take a quick breather. IF something was up I would not hesitate to call my doctor. I trust myself, and my body. So since I left the hospital with a sore butt, a bandaid on my arm from my IV, and some hospital slippers, I went to hugos...yes I walked, and I filled a 1gallon jug of water...then carried it. We were in such a rush to get home and get all the things we needed to get done that day, we forgot to buy toilet paper, shampoo & conditionar, baby shampoo for Kylyn and some other items I cant recall. We got home painted, cleaned, and finally at around 11:30pm I made up a nice foot bath. awww it felt so wonderful. that was one exhausting, pointless day, BUT regaurdless I got ALOT done. Nothing happend. :)
