My trip to L&D

khiry720 · April 2013

Finally had a great night sleep last night, for the past 3 days had diarrhea and yesterday the vomiting started but I also started getting intense contractions so after waiting more than 5 hours for my dr to call me back(his office is so going to hear about that next week) Dh and I went in to L & D . Turns out I had a virus and was very dehydrated that was the reason the contractions kept coming so after a few bags of IV and a nauseau med and some muscle relaxers I finally started to feel better. The dr there said she was glad I went in because for the last few weeks this bug is going around and moms are delaying going in and the dehydration is bad causing contractions and dilation very early. So ladies you know your bodies best, if it doesn't feel right then chances are its not so go get checked out and like the nurse told me now with the warm weather approaching and the fun symptoms of third trimester "drink fluids like its your job" hope everyone enjoys their weekend.. Stay hydrated

Glad you're on the road to feeling better!

I had the same thing last weekend and the on call doctor from my office was also less than helpful. Even though she called us right back, she made us feel like idiots and said "if you think she is sick, take her to the hospital". We ended up not even going because how dumb she made us feel. I wasn't feeling any contractions or anything, but the only liquid I could keep down was gingerale. I'm thinking I may switch practices after this LO is born.
