Default Spent the night at L & D

First of all thank you for all the kind thoughts and replies to my rather paniced sounding post.

I decided to go into L & D, after speaking with my aunt and the hospital and them both recommending I go in to be checked. They checked me and I was 1cm dialated, but the contractions were not reading strong enough, so after monitoring me for a little bit and checking my cervix again and being only 1cm still they sent me home. I feel really bad about making my family and SO worry about me and taking up the time of the hospital, but honestly I would have been up all night worrying if I hadn't gone to the hospital. I have an OB appointment tomorrow and we'll see what he says. The pain I was feeling has since calmed down and I am feeling much better right now, although very tired.

Josh will be here in a week, so as long as this little lady holds off until then I'll be soooo happy!

It was funny, as soon as I got to the hospital, they brought me right into a room to be checked. They were very busy there last night and had two impending c-sections. So one of the nurses made the comment of "we need to get this one checked becuase her c-section would take priority over the others" (meaning me). I was kind of scared at that point. I felt like saying "Um actually I think I'll just lay here for a bit, 12 hours to be exact until Josh gets here, you can just go about your business and forget I'm even here" lol. I probably would have said it if they said I was in labor.

Anyway, thanks ladies

Glad everything turned out to be okay. Just like the rest said...it is always better to have things checked out. Glad you went in and hopefully like you said this little lady will hold out until Josh arrives.

Well, at this stage in the game it's better to be safe than sorry (well, I guess all through out pregnancy really...but whatever) You did the right thing by going in just in case! I'm happy to hear that all went well, that you are still pg at this point and it looks like maybe your SO will be able to get here before any real action goes on. You just tell little Lily-Elise that she only has to wait one more week then she's more than welcome to make her appearance!

So relieved to hear things slowed down for you. Here's hoping it stays calm a little longer. We don't need any more DIM babies BIA.
