Contractions???

Well, Tuesday turned out to be an eventful day. That morning I woke up not feeling the greatest, but thought after being up and moving around I would shake the feeling. I did not feel sick just real uncomfortable. By noontime I was still feeling miserable, like there was something bound around my stomach and abdomen area constricting it. So intuition kicked in and I called my OB's office.

Later, as I am standing in line at Wal-mart one of the nurses returned my call. She says, "You need to be observed at the hospital." My heart jumped into my throat. The nurse then goes on to tell me that the feeling I was having was more than likely contractions.

So I make it to the hospital, and they keep me for about four hours. Sure enough I was having contractions, due to an irritable uterus. I was given Ambien to help me relax, sent home, put on bedrest for two days, and told to return if I get too uncomfortable again. I am still uncomfortable, but the baby is doing just fine. The baby seemed to be having a good time hiding from the monitors and kicking them.
