So I spent last night at the hospital due to having a ton of contractions (every 2-5 minutes) and they were starting to get painful so I went in. I had been having them for about 2 days and they kept getting closer together and giving me back pain. I tried to ignore them, thinking it was braxton hicks, growing pains...etc but it got to the point where I couldn't handle it.
Went in and and after much monitoring and testing said that I was severely dehydrated and had a bladder infection. I honestly had no idea. No painful urination or sympoms and I've been drinking water & juice like it's going out of style.
But the good thing out of my hospital experience was that I got an ultrasound. I was also told my son weighs 2lbs 3 oz. According to all the books & websites, a baby at 26 weeks weighs on average 1lb 7oz. I'm 26w 4days but he's measuring a day bigger
It was seriously the highlight of my experience there because up until now we have been unable to see his face. Little man is always covering or turned the wrong way.
Here are a couple of his pictures! Sorry for the grainy appearance, my scanner is all goofy and I can't figure it out for the life of me.
