Over night stay



Well if you have been reading my posts lately, you'll know that I've been having quite a few irregular tightenings lately.
Well yesterday they were pretty painful, between 3 and 9 minutes apart, I had lost a pea size amount of my plug and had a bit of spotting. Which stopped pretty much as soon as it started.

So I phone triage (maternity unit) like I was told to if the pains got worse. I was told to come in to get checked.
Hubby told me to pack an over night bag just in case I needed it.
After dropping our little one off at hubby's parents we went to the hospital.
They did most of the usual checks.
  • Blood pressure, which was 106/65 a little high for me.
  • Pulse, 99BPM
  • Where baby is, he's head down and 3/5 palpable, which I think means 2/5 engaged.
He's heart rate was a little lower then his normal.
Because I was in Friday for the same thing I had to have 2 steroid injections.
when they checked my cervix is was still high and closed. well they said it looked closed and would check internally but never did. My cervix is slowly coming down though.

After a night of on and off cramping I was checked over by the doctor this morning.
Baby is now free so no longer engaged although I think he's popped back in again.
They want to wait till I am 39 weeks before doing my section, which is next Friday. I have been told if I get cramping like it again or any new symptoms then to go back in.
I am guessing that means if I lose any more of my plug or have spotting again then they might doing the section earlier.
