Just thought I'd update on what's been going on with me since Monday! I spent the week sticking strictly to the doctors orders. Taking Iron, drinking more water, eating more protein, taking my anti-biotics... pretty much everything except drinking the Ensure... That stuff is N-A-S-T-Y! I tried... but I just couldn't do it! After a few days of still feeling awful, blacking out from low BP and adding nausea to the mix from my anti-biotics they had me come back in Friday. Turns out that my dehydration level wasn't ANY better and my Bladder Infection had gotten REALLY bad!!! UGH! SO she switched my anti-biotics and instructed me to down some Gatorade. The low b/p and high heart rates are still from Dehydration.
Saturday morning I woke up about 1am having contractions.. So after a couple hours of them being consistent I decided I should probably call and see what they wanted me to do. Of course they had me go in. Hooked me up... And saw the contractions immediately. They gave me Vistoril again and it took a little longer but they finally stopped and were able to send me home about 6:30 am. They said they'd probably been triggered by the bladder infection/dehydration. :(
So I'm trying to DRINK DRINK DRINK! Eat more protein and sodium! I'm supposed to let them know Monday if I'm not feeling better and I have an OB appointment on Tuesday! So continue to keep Baby Girl and I in your prayers! Only 2 more weeks of stopping contractions! Yay!! Its finally getting closer!
