I'm Going To Be Pregnant Forever....

On Wednesday, December 29, I went to my doctors appointment at 10:30 AM. I was dialated to a 2 1/2 and almost completely effaced. At 2:30 that afternoon, I lost my mucus plug. Lyndon had to go to work, so I took a nap. My parents thought it would be a good idea for me to go to their house, just in case something happened. I started having contractions 15 minutes apart, then down to 10, then down to 7. Since we have a drive to get to the hospital my mom thought I should go in and see if anything was happening.

I was admitted into the hospital at 6:30 that night and was having contractions 2 to 3 minutes apart. I dialated to a 4. At around 2:30 AM, I was still having contractions, but I wasn't progressing and I was exhausted. They decided to give me some medications to help me sleep. After I was given the medicine, I slept 2 hours, but when I woke up my contractions had completely stopped. They had me start walking around the halls at 6:30 AM. Nothing was happening. At 8:30 AM, they gave me an Ambien so I would sleep. I woke up again at 12:30 PM and the doctor decided to send me home.

I am completely frustrated. I am still having contractions, but really inconsistent. I feel like I"m going to be pregnant forever. I was told to come back to the hospital when my water breaks. We are trying lots of things to kick-start labor again hoping something will happen. Nothing is working. We're not quite sure why labor stopped.

I will update more later...
