[wanttobemommy]

I am sorry that this is so late. I am home I am trying to get as much rest as possible. I do not feel so hot lately. More tired than anything. I am constantly wanting to sleep and DH called out of work tonight because I needed him too. I feel bad because we cant afford for him to miss any work.

But I went back to the OB the night after I went the first time. And DH and I got really upset with the nurse because her opening statement was "well if you are not 24wks the high risk ob wont admit you in Sioux Falls"

So we sat there for about an hour while I was hooked up to the monitor. With no bump to speak of they said that they really were not sure they would even get the contractions I was feeling to register and if they did they wouldnt be truthful. While being monitored I turned up the volume and listened to little mans HB. The nurse came in and looked at the paper and said she only saw three contractions on the paper and that they were only showing on the strip for about 10 seconds each. Since there was some noticable contractions on the strip she sat next to me on the bed and had her hand on my belly feeling for the contractions. She was able to feel some small contractions but was shocked at how much she could feel him moving around.

So she checked me and said that I was in between fingertip and 1cm dialated. And that the tip of my cervix was soft but the base was still thick and firm.

So basically my dr said that he didnt think it was neccesary to put me on any type of restrictions. I put myself on pelvic rest and discussed it with DH. He doesnt like it but I am not ready for a preemie. My next appt is on the 3rd so we will see what my stupid dr says then
