Right Helllo everyone. I have fifteen minutes to write this before i need to go out so it may be a half done BS.!
4th March:
Was feeling a bit wierd all day and very uncomfortable but thought it was just down to baby boy being stuck under my ribs! Went to Hubby's Chiropractor appointment with him then popped into a work friend. Got takeaway on the way home. Was sitting on sofa feeling increasingly more uncomfortable (but now thinking ths was down to eating too many chips!)
9pm: Decided to have a bath which helped a little bit.
10pm: Went to bed very ratty cos I couldnt get comfortble even with about 7 pillows....
11pm: Kept getting spasms in my back which I thought were just joint pains as they were only on my right hand side.
1pm: Got up to go to the loo. had bad tummy (sorry if TMI) and threw up twice into a bucket whilst on the loo. When I wiped I had bloody discharge (again sorry if TMI). I was concerned about the blood so decided to ring the delivery suite triage. They did not seem that concerned and said I probably had a show but if I was worried I should pop myself in.
1.15am Asked Hubby to take me in (hubby at this point very unimpressed with me as I had left my sick bucket in the bathroom and refused to take me to hospital till I disposed of it!) lol.
1.30am Driving to hospital I decided to time how often pains were coming and was shocked to discover they were very regulary 3 minutes!
2am: Arrived on delivery suite and they put me on monitor. Still having pains but not really appearing on monitor.
3am: SHO (doctor) came to examine me to see if cervix open but she could not tell cos I had a pessary inserted for a clinical trial (preventing premature birth lol). She then called in Reg to examine me and he also did a quick scan to see position of babies.
4am ish(times getting a bit hazy now...) Transfered into a delivery room and giving nifedipine (to try and stop labour) and betamethsone (steroids for babies lungs).
Nifedipine had no effect whatsoever. was given co-dydramol (useless!) and was then offered gas and air.
Gonna post at this point so I dont lose what I have written!
