Hospital
At about 11 pm last night I was going outside to see my boyfriends and so our son could see him as he had just got home from work, we do this everyday nothing new. As I was going down the steps I didn't realize the steps were slippery from where it had rained all day, I honestly wasn't paying any attention to that fact. As I was walking down my feet slipped from under me and I fell straight forward, I didn't fall directly I my stomach more on the left side (mostly where our little girl stays.) I was scared but it wasn't my first fall this pregnancy so I wasn't freaking out like I had the first time. I figured my midwife would tell me what she did the first time which was if I feel her move, don't have bleeding, or leaking fluids I should be fine I didn't have to come in so the first time I didn't go in because everything was fine. This time I felt like I was fine I wasn't going to call my midwife but I had a feeling I needed to call. She told me to go ahead and come to L&D be prepared to stay for 4 hours because that's how long I'd have to stay to be monitored, which isn't bad but my boyfriend has to get up at 5-6 am to go back to work so I knew it would be hard on him, plus our 4 year old would be with us. I started to feel nauseous and I threw up a few times on the way to the hospital, I was burning up. Finally we got to the hospital and I felt fine still, I had period like cramping starting but didn't think much of it. I get admitted thinking I'll be here till 3-4 am to be monitored; until they hook me up and tell me that the pain, cramps and pressure I'm feeling are in fact contractions and tell me my placenta could rupture, so I immediately have an anxiety attack as I'm only 33 weeks 5 days. My midwife told me I would be staying 24 hours and that I'm being hooked to an IV to stop the contractions. Then she tells me my boyfriend can stay the night as I knew he could but we would have to find someone for our 4 year old to go with it's 1 am at this time everyone we know is in bed or at work at this time (we have our plan for when I do go into labor. Either my grandma will have him or my boyfriends dad will have him, they're both taking off work 2 weeks before I'm due to make sure they're home.) So we decided just that my boyfriend and our son would go home to sleep while I stay over night at the hospital and if anything happened I'd call him and he could run our son to his Papa P and wake him up to watch him while he came here. I was crying because I wanted my boyfriend here because I was scared he was fighting back tears because I was crying and he also wanted to stay our son was crying because he didn't want to leave without me and his sister. It's 7 am I can't leave the hospital until 11 tonight and I'm still have contractions here and there not like I was but they're still there. We're just hoping our little girl stays in a bit longer.
