Bed Rest!!

Yes I am on bed rest, but only till Monday (hopefully). On Sunday night I got up to use the rest room at about 2 am like I usually do, but it was not only urine I had massive diarrhea followed by vomiting. This went on till 8 am Monday morning. I then started to have back pain with a heavy pelvic pressure then labor pains. So around 9:30 am my mom took me into labor and delivery where they hooked me up to fetal monitors. The baby looked great and was never in distress, but I was showing a lot of contractions along with uterine irritability. They put an I.V. in and got me started on a liter of saline along with a dose of Zofran for nausea. They then started to give me another liter of saline. After I had both liters I was starting to feel much better but was still showing contractions and irritability. They then had me go to the bathroom so they could do a urinalysis. While we were waiting for the results they started me on a third bag of saline. My doctor had them check my cervix at this time. My cervix was closed but very soft. This concerned my doctor. He had them give me a shot of Terbutaline which within 20 minutes should stop the contractions. After about 10 minutes the contractions had almost gone away. We got the results back from the urinalysis which showed that I was still very dehydrated after the two bags of saline so my doctor wanted me to have a fourth bag. During that fourth bag I started showing some irritability again but not like it was. My doctor felt ok sending me home but on bed rest until my appointment on Monday. So I guess I have gotten some weird virus which made me have diarrhea and vomit which then made me dehydrated so my uterus got irritated which then caused me to have contractions. So this is why I have been put on bed rest for a week. I will let everyone know how things go on Monday.
