3rd Trimester

XP: Joining the bedrest crew

I went to L&D monday for contractions after I got dehydrated from a nasty GI bug. Got 5 liters of fluid, zofran and phenergan, and procardia for the contractions. Was admitted for a 23 hour observation. Fetal fibronectin negative, not dilated.

Wound up going back last night for contractions that were even greater in frequency and intensity. Got terbutaline and procardia, and am "barely a fingertip" dilated.

I had 3 more shifts left to work, but I'm not going to be working them now! I'm taking procardia every 6 hours and am on bedrest for the time being. Hoping to keep these kids in for a few more weeks!
