I have an irritable uterus

holy effwprd. I just had this whole freaking thing typed, up, and my browser decided to go back a page. Why? I have no idea. It saved the title, very helpful, but not the post.

anger. anger is not good for my irritable uterus, I'm sure.

ok, so I'll try this again. Monday night I started having a lot of b-h contractions. Like, every 2-3 minutes. So I called labour and delivery, and they advised me to relax, have a nice warm bath or shower, and see if that helps. Ok, so I had like an hour long shower, wonderful (as we discovered, the bath thing is not relaxing), had some supper (Deluxe white cheddar mac and cheese), and filled in my mark sheets for school. start counting contractions again (clearly these are not the real deal, as I'm able to basically ignore them) and see that I'm still going at about every 4 minutes. I call l&d again, and the nurse tells me to stay home as long as possible, and to come in when I find I'm too uncomfortable and / or in pain. Ok...I say to her, so wait, I'm in labour?? She sort of laughed, and said yes, sounds like it. I am very near tears. I tell her I can't be in labour, I'm not even 32 weeks pregnant. She's like, oh! come in please!

So I did. They admitted me, put me in a bed, hooked me up to a monitor, checked my cervix (I was 2cm and 30% effaced), so here I stay. It's been a full week now, and I haven't gone crazy. Yet. They sent me for a profile on Friday to see if they could see anything, and the baby is measuring about 2 weeks bigger than my dates say, and I have too much amniotic fluid. This makes me be so ginormous, and makes my body think that I must be just about done being pregnant. So now I have to just stay in bed to keep things calm, because every time I get out of bed, I have a contraction. I have bathroom and shower priveleges, thank god. I range now anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour or so. still too much. But, I'll keep you posted. I probably won't hear anything until Friday, when they're going to do another profile to check the fluid levels again and see if there's anything else to see. Leave me some comments! it's SUPER BORING here.
