Back in again

Quick post since I'm back in the hospital. Contractions started to really pick up Sunday night. We went to triage to have things checked out, got some terbutaline that did nothing. Repeat Terbutaline just seemed to make my uterus laugh even more. Started on some additional increased Procardia and further monitoring and was admitted. Baby Spot is doing great on ultrasound thank heavens, and while being monitored. No signs of any distress. Only unsettling thing is that they have me NPO and a bag of Mag Sulfate at my bedside that they're discussing using. Just hanging tight for now, and my cervix seems to want to hang tight as much as possible too. Ahhh, never a dull moment, right?

Sara - you can do it! Let's set a goal of September 21st! Okay, and then when you get to that day, you can set another goal. I'm so glad to hear that Spot is doing well!

Meghan said...

Sorry you're back in there and they're contemplating the mag. But little Spot's doing well and that's all that matters. I'll keep you guys in my thoughts!

You're doing great, Sara! Hang tight little girl... you both are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope today is going better and I hope that you don't end up needing the mag (and if you do, I hope that it makes your uterus behave).

Debz said...

It was all the excitment of my birthday coming up wasn't it? I'm the one that's getting older, not you and Ute. So calm down there UTEY. :)

But, seriously, I can only imagine how frustrating it must be for you, knowing you have no control over the situation. As stupid as it may sound, just try to relax as much as you possibly can.

{{HUGS}}

Tracy said...

Oh, Sara...I was just thinking about you and wondering when our next update would come. I'm so sorry you're back in the hospital, but it is the best place for both you and Spot. Hang in there.

I've heard that mag is rough stuff. You probably know better than me. But the prize is worth the battle...

I'll be thinking of you.

Chastity said...

Oh goodness...I'm so sorry you're in the hospital again. It sounds like, considering the circumstances, everything is still OK. Hopefully, Little Girl Spot will hold tight and let many more days pass before she makes her grand entrance. You're in my prayers!!

Not in the Water said...

BTW that was a play on the MacBeth...out damn spot thing. I wasn't being fresh

kaaron said...

Oh Goodness! Hope the contractions slow to a screeching halt. Glad to hear Spot and your cervix are doing well. HANG IN THERE!

astral said...

Hang in there Spot--you still have more growing to do!!! Keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

May said...

Oh, dear. Sorry to hear you're back, but relieved for spot. I spent 9 weeks on the Mag- frankly I thought the terbutaline was worse. Mag sucks at first but your body adjusts to it after a bit. At any rate, it stops contractions like nothing else, and that's the important thing! Good luck!

Becca Daws said...

Praying for you and thinking of you, Sara! What is the next goal or week they want you to make it to?

nancy said...

Hang in there! All the "stay put" vibes coming to you that I can muster.

Geepers honey. Not at 25 weeks......You sound a LOT more together than I was when I was contracting so early.

You know I'm thinking of your little Spot and hoping like hell she hangs tight for at least a few more weeks,
