Default My L&D trip..

So saturday night I got the stomach flu! It was the worst and by the morning I could not even keep water down. I called my OB because I was feeling so bad and they told me that I could try to wait it out at home, and just take my zofran or if it doesnt get better in a few hours go to L&D. So I tried to lay down but my heart was racing. My DH was very scared so he brought me into the hospital. I am so glad that we went because by the time I got there I was having contractions every 3-5 min due to being dehyrated. So they gave me an IV, some IV zofran, and a shot of terbutaline. That made the contractions stop thankfully.I was worried it wouldnt and couldnt imagine going into labor feeling as horrible as I did! They checked me and I am not dialated at all and he head is way up high so that is good. I stayed there most of the day and then was sent home. I still feel pretty bad and have a fever, but thankfully only a few more contractions and I can keep fluids down. I go to the doctor tomorrow, hopefully I will feel better by then. I havent eaten anything for 2 days. I cant wait for this to be over! Atleast the baby is doing great it was nice hearing her heartbeat for a few hours, I think I could have sat there all day and listened to it.
