Congratulations cinss!! She is perfect. The 24th was a busy day at my hospital, lots of babies were born!!
My stomach bug got bad fast. I ended up in labor and delivery for fluids and monitoring once I realized I hadn't peed since 11pm the 23rd.. the puking started at 3 AM and by 2 pm the 24th I was still puking even with zofran and Imodium for the other issue...
So when I got there baby's heart was all over the place, she was dehydrating like I was. I had irritability contractions but nothing too bad the stomach cramps from the flu were way way worse. They rushed a bag of fluid through me and that's when I noticed the contractions were actually coming closer and getting uncomfortable.. I mentioned this but they thought I simply needed another bag of fluids. After the second bag I felt amazing flu wise I wasn't sick at all.. but contractions were consistent 5 minutes apart. So then it was time to get a little concerned about that and they checked my cervix... well cervix is very soft but the contractions weren't doing anything so I was sent home.. I had them all night, finally got some sleep though and they went away at some point..I firmly believe if she was engaged or low enough though she would have been here with how strong some of those got..I have been having some awful "Braxton hicks" :since then but again no progress and I'm sure it's cause she's too high. All this concern of her coming early and I now believe with this she won't be coming till they cut her out of me.. I tried all sorts of spinning baby stuff during the "Braxton hicks" I had last night but I don't think she has dropped any further. i have a hard time understanding a lot of the techniques so I am probably just not doing them right...
