I went to bed Friday night around 10pm. I was tossing and turning and just kinda anxious, and wasn't sure why! I finally passed out about 12:00am and fell into a GREAT SLEEP!...
I woke up at 2:30ish to go to the bathroom, but as I got up and headed there, I felt as though I possibly was leaking or starting to pee on myself.. (I thought JESS get it together..haha).. But as I got to the toliet I realized wait, that is clear and cloudy and def. not pee!.. As I went back to bed, I started to leak again, and thought could this be my water breaking??!!
So I laid there for a few minutes and felt some more leaks, and thought ok well lets see if contractions or anything start... and DID THEY EVER??!!!
about 30 minutes later the contractions began... this time they HURT.. :).. I was feeling most of the pressure and pain my lower back at the time, but they were lasting about 45 seconds and coming 5-6 minutes apart!. Walking around felt so much better then sitting for sure. So at 3:15am or so I went downstairs and told Patrick, I think my water broke and I am having contractions... (he was in such a deep sleep, he said ok go back to bed.. haha)..
Knowing I needed to time them longer and make sure they didn't stop. I decided to go take a shower. I got out of the shower and they were a little closer, about 4-5 minutes apart and it was hard to catch my breath in the middle of them!..
So I called the doctor about 4am.
The Doctor on call said it could possibly be my water, I was still leaking drops here and there, and that I should come into the Hospital to be checked out!
So I woke Patrick up about 4:15 and said THIS IS IT!... He got a shower really fast, and we loaded the car and headed to the Hospital. In the car they were every 4 minutes and we called both sets of Parents!.. Mine only on a few hours of sleep, got up and in the car and headed this way, since they were 7 hours away!..
Patrick's parents were waiting to see what the doctors said etc.
We got there and signed in and all that stuff and got t our room about 5:35am. The nurse came in a few minutes before 6am, and looked at the monitor, they were def. 4 minutes apart and pretty STRONG!...
I had just gone to the bathroom and she ran the strip to test for fluid, I was dry so she said she didn't think it was my water that had broken. She checked me and I was 1-2 cm, 50% effaced and -3 still. She said they would be sending me home to Labor and Progress all day on my own, and to come back when I was 2-3 minutes apart on contractions and if my water did break.
We were BUMMED and disappointed!.. It was after 7:20am when we were discharged, and we stopped and got breakfast and went home.. My parents continued this way, and we called Patrick's parents to head this way at lunch time as well.
This time I was gonna walk and walk and time them like crazy.
I laid down around 10am to take a nap and when I woke up about 11:30am, no more Contractions :(....
AHHH~~`
