Why did I go to work today after being in Labor and Deliver until almost 1 am? Seriously, I need someone to tie me down. I think I woke up and sent went on auto-pilot this morning, it seriously never occurred to me that I could have called in sick today until a co-worker said, "why the hell are you here???" Um...good question.
Last night before dinner there was a little bright red blood when I went to the bathroom - I had been kind of crampy and uncomfortable all day. So after a couple hours of resting and drinking water and no change (blood again) we called the doctor and they said to go to the hospital to Labor & Delivery and get checked out. So off we went and spent a few hours getting monitored and all that good stuff. Basically, they have no idea what was up. Baby is healthy, I'm healthy. Cervix is long and only open a fingertip width. Doctor thought the blood was maybe just from the cervix starting to do it's job...something about the tissue from inside the uterus side of cervix pushing through??? There was a very long, complex word involved that I completely forget now... Maybe it's a UTI? Waiting for urine culture to come back. They sent us home and we collapsed into to bed for a few hours sleep.
By the way an internal exam while pregnant is the most horrendous thing. Like oh my god, that fvcking HURT. Oh I just did not understand how that would hurt :-( Fiance provided the best line of the evening with his "and then he put that medieval torture device in your cooch..."

Honestly, I've pooped more regularly in the past few days than I have in months... it's been a bit of a relief! Totally tmi...
