I woke up the morning about 7:30 and had a really bad cramp in my side where I had a hard time taking a breath and I was feeling lots of pressure. I just played it off for awhile and got my house cleaned and a few other odds and ends. Then I finally decided to call the OB at the hospital around 11:30(since my doctor is out of town) to see if I needed to be worried about it or not. When I finally called they asked a few general questions like how far along are ya, when was your last appointment, and when the last time I felt the baby move. I told them all the answer, but never really thought about when the baby moved last so I thought about it for a minute and I realize I hadn't felt the baby move since 10:00 the night before. So they told me to come and they needed to put me on the monitor to see if the baby is ok. I got they hooked me up on everything and the baby's heart rate was good but after about 20 minutes he still didn't show any signs of movement. So they went and got this little zapper thing (which made me nervous). The nurse knew my mom and I was were worried when she said zapper, so she explained that it just makes a wierd noise the baby doesn't like. When she did it, the baby jumped and I think it really made him mad because his heart rate went from 130ish to 160ish and stayed there the rest of the time we were there. They kept me there for an hour. While they were monitoring me they checked to see if I was dilated. I told them I probably wouldn't be cuz I went to the doctor a week ago and I was doing anything and with my other two I just didn't dilate until they induced me. But they insisted on checking, to my surprise I was at a 2-3. That made me really excited. When they were getting to release me they noticed that I was contracting while I was there also, but I didn't really notice cuz they didn't hurt at all it just felt like lots of pressure. So they had to recheck to see if I was dilated anymore and if I was they were going to keep me. But of course I hadn't changed so they sent me home, and they said they will be kinda suprised if they don't see before the end of the weekend. I am really glad the baby is ok, it is just alittle scary not knowing if they are ok or not being this far along.
