July 4th Drama! We had a lot of plans for July 4th but baby changed all that! I went to work in the morning and got off at 2. By the time I got home I had started to bleed a lot. It slowed down a bit so I took the kids to the kiddie parade in the park for an hour. When I got home I was still spotting so I called the dr. who wanted me to come in right away.
I went in to be checked and they ended up admitting me. My cervix is not dialated, but the baby is fully engaged in the pelvis. I was having contractions so I am on some medicine for the next day or so to keep those to a minimum. They also gave me two shots of steroids to help baby's lung development just in case. I was in the hospital from July 4 through the 6th so they kept a pretty close eye on me. I had an ultrasound and everything with baby looks good so we are not quite sure where the bleeding came from.
I think this baby does not want to wait until his due date!!! Let's hope he stays put for a while longer though. Your thoughts and prayers are appreciated! |
