Posted update in 3rd tri; for you now too:
Hey girls I went up to the hospital and thankgoodness not labour! Okay so I got up there, contractions went to 2mins apart so I was worried, they did my blood pressure which was 127/75 so pretty good! My heart rate was slightly aggravated at 102 bpm but that was good, down from the 120bpm it was when I left home. Anyway BH kicked in to replace the contractions which was a relief. Doc came in and checked my outside first annndd SHE IS FINALLY HEAD DOWN I am so relieved. Anyway he did an internal (not sure how most of you have felt with your first internal but OUCH! I was yelling and didnt even realise it) and he told me I'm 1/2cm dilated and my cervix is nearly ripe. He also said she is almost engaged, right on the brim
Then he said I was fine, but the nurse came in and decided she was giving me two tablets. For starters she didn't want to tell me what they were! So I held off taking them until she finally told me what they were. So I argued that I did not want meds whilst pregnant and she basically told me I had no choice. So I ended up being partially forced into taking Diazepam. Anyway she said it would make me drowsy; WRONG. Diazepam has the worst problem of making me hyperactive, and it also isn't something I would normally like taking whilst pregnant, considering I now know what it is for!
Well anyway they eventually let me leave but told me to come back in if anything came up again. (the only reason they didn't want me to leave was liability so I signed a form releasing them from lawsuites). Got to leave thankgoodness.
So that is the update, he says there is a high chance I will go early but he thinks I've got atleast 2wks left which is good, more baking for my bun! He also said he expects I'll have about 2 more false labours before the real thing, so that is interesting.
Thanks for all the support girls. I'm glad you helped me out
They gave me diazepam and now I know this:
This medicine may be harmful to a developing baby and it should be avoided during pregnancy unless considered essential by your doctor. This is particularly important during the first and third trimesters of pregnancy and before or during labour. Regular use during pregnancy should especially be avoided, as the baby could become dependent on the medicine and then suffer withdrawal symptoms after the birth. If this medicine is used in late pregnancy or during labour it may cause floppiness, low body temperature and breathing or feeding difficulties in the baby after birth.
I hope my baby won't be hurt
