I’ve had the worst headache for about a week now. I tried Tylenol, tea, taking naps. Nothing helped. So I called my drs office to see scar they suggest I take to relieve the headache. They got concerned when I said I was seeing floaters as well and urged me to go to L&D. But I have a one year old so it’s hard to just drop everything at the drop of a dime. The drs office called me back shortly after and told me it’s not something I should take lightly and find a way to get seen that night. I had my daughters dad take and went to the hospital under the impression that they would give me something for my headache then send me home after a few hrs. But it turned out that when I first got there I was contracting every 7 minutes but didn’t even feel them. They did a cervical check and I was closed with a very soft cervix. Soon every 7 minutes turned to 5. I started feeling them but nothing painful. Every 5 minutes turned into ever 2-3 minutes and oh boy was I feeling them and a ton of pressure. I’ve only been in triage for maybe 3 hrs now and went from 50% effaced and closed to 100% effaced and 2cm. I was officially in preterm labor and got admitted. I got a steroid shot to help his lungs mature in case he comes early, antibiotics Incase I have gbs and fluids which were not stopping the contractions like they had hoped. The next step was to give me a pill to stop the contractions but my blood pressure was dangerously low and the pill would only make it lower. I passed out a few times throughout the night from my pressure being so low and I had no idea what was happening and why it was happening cause the drs were/are so lost. My blood is fine, my irons is fine, placenta is fine but yet there’s so much wrong. And to think, I almost didn’t come in cause I thought I just had a headache.
