I have been having these crazy headaches while here at the hospital and some prior too. Sunday was a doozy so they decided to have me get an MRI on my head Monday night. About an hour before going down to get that done I started to have some major contractions. I thought all would be fine but it turned out halfway through my MRI they got much worse. They checked me while on the MRI table but I was still not even dilated and I was only effaced to 40% so they finished with the exam and then sent me back upstairs and was on machines for most the rest of the night. I was having contractions about every 3 minutes so they gave me some morphine and some meds to stop the contractions which they were successful at doing a couple hours later.
Tuesday was just a normal day and then Wednesday morning around 5:00 AM they started again. They were coming every 2 to 3 minutes until about 11:00 AM. The doctors all came in and we decided a c-section would be the way of delivery. I was only 80% effaced and so it was determined that once I got to a 3 they would schedule the OR for me. The perinatologist tried to stay non-bias to my decision but it was pretty obvious she thought c-section was the wiser way to go. We were all ready to have our cute girls and then labor just stopped again. Everyone was completely surprised.
I am not gonna lie, this is starting to get really draining and I am sad to admit but I am now just ready to have them come. I had my second dose of steroids which finished yesterday and I am not sure I can keep going into labor and then stopping again.
Today, no progress. I have mixed feelings about this. They did an ultrasound this morning and the girls weigh 3 pounds 14 oz each give or take some oz.
That is the latest with the Smiths. :o)
