Contractions Mood
Friday, January 16, 2009
Yesterday towards the end of my shift I was having a lot of cramping, back pain and abdominal tightening.  I put myself on the monitor and was having contractions every couple of minutes!  My coworkers kept trying to talk me into getting admitted and checked out but I kept trying to resist.  I had one of my coworker's check my cervix and I am already 1cm dilated and 50% effaced.  Since I was starting to dilate I called my OB and she said to get checked in and have a urine sample sent and a blood count sent so I did.  Everything was normal and after laying down for a while the contractions slowed down and I was able to go home.  I'm not ready for him to come yet, he atleast needs another couple of weeks!  I have to work today and tomorrow so hopefully being on my feet all day again doesn't bring the contractions back.

    Sounds like you need to take it easy or you may be meeting him sooner than you thought :) Although I am anxious to see pics of him, he still needs to "cook" a while longer.

    I hope that the contractions calm down a bit, and that if you have to work, you can take it easy! Take care and keep him in there as long as you can!
