Go! I waited for 3 days of feeling horrible before I went, and it’s a good thing I did. I went in at 27 weeks and had dilated an inch. They kept me for 3 days for observation. Then at 29 weeks (pregnancy fog right now on the weeks), I went in because I was feeling like I had the flu, some contractions, and something felt off. I was there at 8am, did a urine test and then sat there until 12:30, when a nurse finally came through and asked why I was still there. They had forgotten about me and also lost the urine test. They didn’t do a pelvic and put me on the contraction monitor. I later found out that the tech was on her 1st day and had never worked this machine and therefore it showed no contractions. They told me everything was fine and go eat and rest. We lived literally across the street from their office, which was in the hospital. I left, drove to Taco Bell, and went home. My Husband was on 3rd so he was sleeping, so I snuck in and went to lay down. The next thing I knew was that I thought I was peeing on myself, and then it hit me that my waters broke. I woke my Husband, called the OB, and was told to come back immediately, but not to worry b/c they were positive it was my bladder. They took me right back, did a swab test on the fluid (it was obviously not urine) and it came back that my waters did break and I was 2” dilated. They rushed me up to Labor & Delivery where I stayed for quite awhile. Then the contractions stopped, and they checked again and my cervix had sealed shut again. Since my waters broke they told me I had to stay until he came, but regardless, they’d take him at 32 weeks. They hooked me up to a fetal monitor, put me on light bed rest, and I got a ton of shots to help speed his lung development up. He decided that he was coming at exactly 32 weeks, besides being a tiny 4lb, 2oz, he was perfect!!!
So through all of this, I had a lot of things happen and it is terrifying. But, technology and medicine are so advanced these days so if something like that happened to you, the more likely it’ll be a positive outcome. I hope this helps a little. You’re not alone. ❤️🙏🏻
