I went up because I was having some bad mentral like cramping so I was worried about a bladder infection. The midwife from my doc's office was there and she told me to come up and they would monitor me for an hour and check my urine. Well that hour turned into almost 4. About 30 min after getting there I noticed that Gage's heartrate was dropping. At first I thought he was just moving and the monitor lost him but then I noticed that it actually sounded like his heartbeat was slowing down, not disappearing. The midwife confirmed my fears when she rushed in and told me to turn on my side. His heartrate was slowing down and there was almost a pattern to it. The monitor didn't show me as having contractions and I wasn't feeling any but they gave me the shot to stop labor to calm down my uterus. It made me shake like crazy but worked and Gage's heartbeat stayed up. They then started an IV to give me fluids and take blood. Turns out I was pretty dehyrated and my white blood cells are pretty high. She thinks that I will have the full blown flu by this weekend.
So now I am back on pelvic rest and considered high risk. I had preterm labor with Mike but not with Kira so I never expected problems this time. I'm counting every little movement now because that scared the crap out of me. I'm nervous because I would have never known his heartbeat was dropping if I hadn't gone in last night, then what would have happened? Everything is ok now though so I am very thankful. I'm going to take it easy the next couple of days and drink TONS of water. Hopefully I can stop this flu before it starts. I have the mother/son dance on Friday and my fathers surprise 60th b-day party I'm throwing on Saturday so I don't have time to be sick. LOL
