Week 34 and Maternity ER visit
I woke up yesterday and had a few symptoms of labor (I'll spare the gory details).....although one of them was that my pants were completely soaked. I called the doctor on call (because, of course, it was Sunday) and she told me to come to the maternity ER. They did a non-stress check (all good) and then checked to see if I was leaking amniotic fluid. The test showed that I wasn't....but she wasn't convinced. I was also dilated 1 cm. So, they put me on the non-stress machine for another hour. All good again. They did another check for amniotic fluid....and found nothing. So, my water hasn't broken. I probably just peed myself. Nice. :) They did determine that I am having very mild (and almost unnoticable to me) contractions every 1-2 minutes. That, plus being dilated 1 cm, are cues to pay attention to other labor symptoms and call right away if I notice anything. Dave came home and immediately went into "nesting" mode and cleaned out his office and organized his files! It was comical!! So, I am home, resting, and back to waiting.....
