My worst nightmare happened..
On Friday my husband and I decided to make it our last possible date night we can have before baby comes in 3 weeks.
We were going to watch the new Spiderman movie and then go out to dinner while our oldest was at a sleepover.
I had a drink in one hand and popcorn in the other walking to our theater. Suddenly I trip and fall directly onto my stomach. Next thing I know my husband is picking me up and I tell him we need to go to the hospital. I remember that being the longest 15 minute drive of my life, crying my eyes out and repeatedly apolozing to my baby.
At the hospital we get test done to see if placenta detached or if there was blood in my uterus. They assumed the frequent contractions were obviously due to the fall Kickstarting the labor. All in all, baby was fine and all the tests and scans came out fine. I spent 2 days in the hospital. My contractions are frequent (3/5 minutesapart, but bearable.) And I'm dilated to a 2. But since my cervix hasn't changed in the last 24 hours they decided to send me home and told me to watch for the painful contractions then come back.
I'm traumatized but so thankful that our baby is okay. The whole time my husband was beyond helpful and the nurses were so gentle and kind and of course helpful and informative as well!
I'm home now but finally able to process this whole weekend.
