For a 24 hr period I had some brown spotting when I go potty and thought to call the advice nurse. When I did that this afternoon, they had to transfer to Labor and Delivery as in my 3rd tri they wanted to see me as soon as I could be there. There was only one hitch, Hubby has the only car. So I had to wait for him to come home. The good news at least he didn't have to go hungry, I stopped at a pizza place before all of the mega drama and got a pizza and bread sticks so he was fed.
Back to the story, so when he came and picked me up and we got to the City, hubby dropped me off and I truged to the 3rd floor where L&D is located and got buzzed in. Hubby came in a little after wards by the securty gaurd asking me if he was my Hubby. Of course I said yes (I wasn't going to say no, but I wanted to) and we sat in the waiting room for a few seconds and were escorted in. Hooked up to a fetal moniter and had 1 contraction while I was monitered. Then after a half hour or so the doctor came in and did an internal exam (uncomfortable because of my back and everything that went a long with it) and took swabs to look for some cause that I could be there with the spotting. Turns out that I have a slight bacterial infection (got meds for) and got to see Bumpy's local in my tummy. Breach as of today. It can turn at any point but it's head looked perfect, heart pumping and growing big. The doctor got a picture (super small) and printed it out for me and I got a picture of the fetal heart rate strip. I'll put the pictures up as soon as I can, but can't say 100% when. I got some Meds and was sent home for the night to only return if I have some other issues like real bleeding and labor pains.
For me it was funny because when the advice nurse, L&D nurses and the doctor asked if I was having back or leg pains I stated that I was in a car accident a month ago so it was hard to distingous what was what!
In 7 1/2 months 1 ER visit (1 non baby related car accident), 1 L&D admit (see 1 NBR), 1 L&D triage watch and I still have 2 months to go after this!
