Beyond angry and confused
I’m 34 weeks and 6 days right now. A few weeks ago they told me I have polyhydramnios. Yesterday I started getting contractions at around 4:30pm and they got progressively worse so I came into the hospital after the on call doc being rude as hell and not believing me until it was getting hard to talk through them. They started out being about 3min and 30sec apart and by the time I got to the hospital around 9:30pm they were about 2min 30sec apart and still progressively got worse and more painful. When I got to the hospital they had me do a urine sample and it wasn’t much because I had gone maybe 10min before we left our house to come here. The first thing the doc said to me in a rude tone was this is all you gave us? referring to my urine sample and I said yeah that’s all I had and she proceeded to say did you even drink water like I told you to? I again said yes and then said but it wasn’t super recent and I went to the bathroom before coming. She then checks me and says if anything I’m a fingertip dilated and that I don’t look like someone who is in labor and that I can either go home after they monitor the baby a few more minutes or she can check me again in an hour. My husband and I talked and decided we’d just leave since she said I wasn’t in labor. Not too long after that the contractions started getting worse but they told me it was possible they would since they had done a cervix check so I didn’t think much of it at first. The nurse comes in after approximately 10 minutes of monitoring and says that the baby is not doing everything they want him to so they’re sending me for an ultrasound. I wait a few minutes for them to come take me for the ultrasound and during the wait and the actual ultrasound itself the contractions got even worse. They brought me back up to triage after the ultrasound and the contractions got even worse so I called the nurse in and told her they’ve gotten really bad and I feel like I’m going to vomit. She said okay let me talk to the doctor and see what she wants to do. She came back in a few minutes later and gave me zofran and checked my cervix again and said there was no change and said they were admitting me for at least 12 hours from the ultrasound. The brought me up to L&D and then gave me fluids because they said I was dehydrated. The contractions got quite a bit better for a few hours until they stopped the IV fluids and have been getting worse again. I asked to go to the bathroom a little before 8am and they brought me to there and there was some sort of bodily tissue or something in the toilet afterward and when I wiped it was pink tinged so I told the nurse and she said it was probably just from when they checked me but next time I went to the bathroom they would give me a hat to pee in. I went again at about 8:30 and there was some smaller tissue pieces and again pink tinged toilet paper and she checked it and didn’t say anything about it. This whole morning they have been telling me everything looks great but I’m having contractions between 2-3 minutes apart again that are slowly getting worse. Honestly this entire time I’ve been here they’ve basically been saying everything looks great no matter what was happening and I am so beyond sick of it. They also don’t seem to tell me much of what’s going on either. As I am about to post this it is 8:50am so I’ve been having regular contractions for the majority of 16 hours and they keep telling me everything looks great and that they’re probably going to send me home when the 12 hours is up. I’m so done with this place.
