Had to go in today...

I wasn't feeling quite right and had some cramps, so I called the nurse this morning. She had me come in this afternoon. The PA did an exam, and I ended up having a contraction during it. They hooked me up to the monitor for awhile, and I was having some mild contractions. Baby girl was doing just fine. :) They gave me a shot, had me sit for a couple more minutes, and checked again. It stopped the contractions. The OB did a different exam, and a couple tests to see if I have any sort of infection that might be causing them. I'm to call Friday to update them and get some results, then on Monday for the rest. He has me staying on a pill every 6 hours to prevent contractions and gave me another one, too. He had me come home to rest tonight instead of going to our birthing class. So things are fine, just have another pill to take. The side effects aren't great, but as long as they keep the contractions under control, that's all that matters.
