Scary, but OK....

On Saturday, I started having some pains in my pelvic area. I thought that it may just be gas or indigestion but on Sunday the pain got progressively worse. I was in tears all night on Sunday so Jason told me that I needed to call my doctor. I called and the first thing the nurse told me was that contractions can feel like gas pains and that I needed to go to the hospital just to make sure. So off we went. Once I got the monitor strapped on, they could see that my contractions were two minutes apart. They checked my cervix and it was ok which was a relief. They also did another test that could tell if you were going to have the baby within a couple of weeks and that also came back negative. We were again very relieved. They gave me an IV and a a couple of shots that would take my contractions away. They discharged me a couple of hours later.
That night my pain came back with a vengeance. I was up all night long with massive cramping and pain. I have never been in so much pain. All I could do was cry. I went back to the hospital the next day and again my contractions were 2 minutes apart and I was severely dehydrated. They gave me more IV's and another shot. I went to my OB yesterday and he thinks that I will be ok. He thinks that it is my dehydration that is giving me contractions. He gave me a lecture on drinking water and is making me drink a gallon of water a day. And those of you who know me well, I am not a water drinker. It is so hard to even get half of that in a day. I know I have to do it though. I've got to take care of myself and the baby.
I am still having some pain and it hurts to even walk but I think that it is getting a better. Keep us in your prayers, I've got to keep this cute little baby in for a whole lot longer.

Scary Shauni! I hope things are better now. You've had a rough pregnancy, are you ever going to want to do this again? Is someone doing a baby shower for you, if they are I want to be invited!
