Labor and Delivery…NOT
Oh my. Today was a VERY eventful day. I had contractions when I first got out of bed, but did not think anything of it. I figured that they were just Braxton-Hicks. Then, around 3:00 pm they started coming more frequently- 4 in a half hour. I called my OB and they sent me to Labor and Delivery. I very camly told my husband that he had to call in to work and then I took a shower. I don’t know why, but I just had to shower.
We arrived at the hospital around 4:00 pm and I was hooked up to the monitors for a NST. Wouldn’t you know it, nothing. No contractions, nothing. I felt like an idiot trying to explain to the nurse what I was feeling at home. It’s hard to convince someone that you are showing signs of labor when according to all the machines, you are showing signs of nothing.
So, down I go to ultrasound so that they can check up on Mya and make sure that my cervical cerclage (stitch) is holding. Everything is great. Mya is 2.5 pounds with a heartrate of 153 bpm. And she was playing with her feet. Mommy and Daddy are worried sick about giving birth 13 weeks early, and Mya is happy-go-lucky playing with her feet. 
Go figure!
