Wednesday, March 23rd at around 10:30pm, our baby boy decided that causing contractions would be a good idea! Started with mild bleeding and progressed into consistant contractions. Called the hospital and was told to go in for observation. Get to the hospital around 11:30pm, get hooked up to the fetal monitor. Baby boy is moving around like crazy and his heart rate looks great. I get a full check up, everything is fine but my blood pressure is up a bit. Contractions stay regular but don't increase in strength. No dialation after a few hours, so the doctor gives me some medicne, monitors for a while longer.
Nurse comes in, checks my blood pressure again, it's still high and she says this concerns her. I replied with, "Of course it's up. I'm exhausted and have been stuck in the hospital since 11:30, it's now 4am." I'm put on modified bed rest to make sure baby boy stays where he's at.
We are released from the hospital at 5:15am. Get home, I have a snack and pass out. Corwin doesn't go into work until 9am due to being exhausted.
I've had braxton-hicks since but nothing to call the doctors about. Baby boy is doing fine.
