Well, the last week I've been having mega Braxton-Hicks contractions. The night before last they had gotten painful, alot of pressure when I went to the bathroom, then some spotting. BP was going up. I laid down, thought if I just relaxed, it'd be ok. I did fall asleep (hard to sleep these days, already). The next day, I felt ok for a little while...then it all happened again. So, I called mom, she came over to stay with Kaitlynne, and I went to MRMC. They took me right up to L&D, hooked me all up, and took urine. The one funny thing was little girl didn't take kindly to having a microphone (heartbeat monitor) on her, kept kicking it off...was cute. Anywho, they finally realized it was a bladder infection. Gave me an antibiotic for that, and FINALLY put me on a BP med. I asked why my doc here couldn't have done that...no answer. They DID call him, too...he told them I was no longer his patient and would answer no questions...jerk. So they had to call the midwife on duty in...she encouraged me to change my HMO so that I could go to Shands instead of Arnold Palmer. Only problem is, lapse in care...of atleast 6 weeks...I can't go 6 weeks without care. So, I'll stick with Arnold Palmer for now...I go next Thursday (hopefully Alex gets to come...don't want to go in blind down there)...going to see what they say. I'm really thinking they will schedule a date..either for induction or csection. Can't very well go into labor here and drive for hours to get there...so we'll see then. Everything is still hurting today..I can't get the meds til tomorrow. They want me on total bedrest, too, but geez...isn't that impossible at the holidays? Doing the best I can. All that matters is baby is good...and I'm not in any direct danger at this present time. Now if Alex and I can just decide on a name for her...LOL.
