I'm dilating!

[Guest guest]

Yes, I know it could stay like this for awhile..but I'm still getting excited!

Hubby and I went to the ER Monday night with severe flu symptoms. They kept him

in the ER and took me straight up to Labor and Delivery. I got hooked up to the

monitors and had an IV of fluids and phenergan for my nausea, and the Dr asked

if I'd been having contractions. I said, " No, just stomach cramps from being so

sick. I'm only 35 weeks. " and she said " Well honey, you are having contractions

right now. " She said my uterus was " irritable " and checked my cervix before they

sent me home. Turns out I am dilated to 2cm and am 75% effaced. She gave me a

long list of things to watch for so I'd know when to come back in. I see my OB

next Wednesday for my Group B Strep test. The flu seems to be easing up finally.

Hubby and I are feeling quite a bit better today. We have a ton of work to do

around here because we have to have the house and property assessed, so that we

can hopefully purchase it ASAP.

Has anyone stayed at 2cm dilated for a REALLY long time? I'm curious if I will

make it to my due date- April 20th. I feel like I need to get everything ready

RIGHT NOW. I still have a few things left to do, and I don't even have my bag

packed yet. Guess I'd better get busy, just in case! Just gotta be careful not

to overdo it.

Take care all,
