I, along with my OB, decided to spend my Friday night with the good nurses down at Brookwood's Labor & Delivery. I was having a LOT of contractions yesterday. I knew they weren't the real ones, but I was having at least 5-6 every hour for about 5 hours. I didn't think I was progressing in any way (i.e. dialating), but I was a little concerned about how baby was handling all the contractions. I called the doctor around 8:30 PM and he said he wanted me to be evaluated. Thankfully, all was well and after being on the monitor for an hourish, they sent me back home at 11 PM. I was having contractions and what the nurse called "irritability", but the baby's heart rate was wonderful and there was no change in my cervix (sorry if that's too graphic for some of you!). I think it was a result of a very stressful week (sick kids, husband out of town, etc.) and doing more than I should. I tried to get the nurse to write on my discharge papers that Steven had to do EVERYTHING this weekend. He has been very helpful and I'm trying to take it easy. I'd like to take this as a sign that I won't go to 40 weeks. Another 5-6 weeks and I'm ready any time!
