Hello Bed Rest......I am not happy to see you!!
Last Friday when I went to see my dr for the 3d ultrasound, I had let him know that I was cramping. So instead of the 3D, the ran a nonstress test, did a pelvic exam, and he had a regular ultrasound scheduled. He put me on bed rest till today which was my follow up appointment. The cramping hasnt stopped and now there is a piercing pain in my privates. So off to L&D I went.
After four hours of sitting in a hospital bed and having a couple ultrasounds done (according to the hospital my son the porker is 6lb15oz and os measuring at 37 weeks), my dr came to see me. He told me my uterus is trying to go into labor. So bed rest for the remainder. He stated I could go into labor tomorrow, or at 39 weeks. When I asked the odds of going early. He basically laughed, bc he knew I knew the answer. I told him my mom was going away the first week of May, told me that if she wanted to be a part of the delivery he didnt think that was a good idea. (shes going to loooovee that)
I will be full term in 10 days, so he doesnt want to do anything to stop the process because if moose man wants to come, moose man is going to come. This is just so insane to me, I think I am still in shock, because I have no reaction to what is going on. I am eerily calm. Once it all sets in that my son could literally be here any day, I might stalk freaking out. From excitement of course.
The one thing that terrifies me in all this, was I had a plan. I knew which hospital I was going to delivery at, I've already registered. I knew how I wanted things to go. Well he told me today, he thinks if I go early I should delivery at a different hospital. two reasons: 1. the neonatal at this other hopstal is better 2. he doesnt want to miss the delivery. He has been my OB for 10 years, and he doesnt want to send someone who is on call to my delivery when hes stuck at a different hospital. Now those of you who knows me, know that I am a control freak, so to be told I might have to change things, but keep it up in the air, Yeah not ok in my book.
All I want is for my son to be safe, and for things to go smoothly. SO I will do whatever it takes to ensure that. :)
Heres to up to 4 weeks on bed rest!! EEK
