Joining that L&D train

in May 2013 Moms

So last night I was in L&D for a couple hours.  I have been having contractions for the last two days that won't go away with rest, water, a muscle relaxer, or a bath so they told me to head in.  I got hooked up to the monitors and I was having them about every 4 minutes.  They gave me an IV with fluids and ran a bunch of tests.  I'm not dilated, negative FFN, but I DO have a bladder infection.  So they gave me antibiotics and a shot of terba... (can't remember the full name of that one) to stop the contractions.  I didn't have another one for an hour or two but I'm still having them now.  Dr. says to "be a slug" this weekend and take my antibiotics and go in if things get any worse.  

All in all, although it was stressful I'm doing ok.  LO looked really good and I was glad to get to see L&D before the big event.  I'm mostly just worried about how this affects my job and when/if I can return.  The Dr. says that if I go in to work on Monday and I start having more contractions from being at work then I have to go home so we'll be playing this by ear for a little bit.  Being in L&D made me realize how happy I am to be with my doctor at this hospital because I felt very well taken care of.  Hope all your nights were a little less eventful than mine!

    What a scary experience! I am sorry that you are going through this and hope that laying low helps calm the contractions. Sending thoughts and prayers your way!

    I had a bladder infection at 35 weeks last pregnancy, and was having contractions just like you.  Antibiotics fixed me right up, and I went on to continue working and went almost a week past my due date before being induced.  Just wanted to give you some hope that you may be in good shape to go on to have a full-term pregnancy, and be able to work as long as you need/want to.

    Thanks, that's good to hear!  I'm really hoping that's the case for me :)
