** Possible TMI alert. **
I made an unexpected trip to the maternity center. I woke up this morning spotting. I called in to the doctor's office, and they told me to come in. When I got there, they did the typical checking, and the doctor checked my cervix, and found that it had opened some. That was probably the reason for the spotting. Then I was sent to the maternity center to be monitored. It turns out that I was having contractions that I was unable to feel, in addition to the ones that I have been calling braxton hicks contractions that I could feel. I stayed there all day. They hooked me up to an IV drip. I got medication to stop the contractions, which I now have to monitor. I also got medications to mature Micah's lungs in case he decides that he's really too anxious to see the outside world. And the best part (note the sarcasm), I am on bed rest. I go back Thursday for the doctor to decide where we go from here. Hopefully there will be no change to my cervix, and I can continue to work at least on a modified caseload so that I will have some medical leave after he gets here. Most importantly, I would like him to stay in there and finish developing.
