35 weeks, 3 days
I woke up this morning around 5 am and it took me (no lie) almost an hour to get up off the sofa. And it hurt soooo bad that I was in tears. I went to the bedroom and Chris woke up because he heard me crying. I told him that I was just in so much pain. Well, at 6:30 am I tried getting up off the bed and again it took me an hour to get off the bed. I called the OB on call and he suggested that I come in to L&D and be evaluated (we know where this is going right???). I was in so much pain that Chris said for me to go on in. I had been crying since 5 am over it. I went in did the urine specimen and got hooked up to the monitors. They noticed I was contracting (well, duh I have been contracting every 10 minutes for 3 weeks now!!!) so they checked me and said I was 1 maybe 2 cm and they could feel something hard like a head. They gave me nubain for pain. At some point while I was out, they saw that one baby's heartbeat had decelerated (just once BTW) so they gave me oxygen. When the dr made his evening rounds, he ordered brethine shot to stop my contractions, even after I point blank said no. Well, I was ticked and made the nurses call him back in and discharge me. He told me that legally he could not induce me before 36 weeks which I understand under normal circumstances. However, my body is trying to labor, but is unable to completely labor naturally. He also pretty much said that he wouldn't induce me at all until 40 weeks.
