A Little Scare

So I am on my 4th day of back pain yesterday and it got to be so extreme that I had to put a call into my doctor's office. They told me it could be a number of things but to take two extra strength Tylenol, drink a large glass of water and lay in the bed. She told me that if the pain hadn't subsided that I needed to go ahead and go to Labor and Delivery. Luckily my hospital is exactly 4 minutes from our house because the pain did not let up and I started freaking out. The nurse advised me that it could be a bladder infection, back labor(Braxton Hicks Contractions) or more Round Ligament Pains. Seth admitted me into the hospital and they were super quick to get me strapped into all the necessary machines and take their tests. Thankfully Madeline was still super active and moving all about with a great heartbeat so she was not at all affected. I wasn't having contractions, although I have had a few random ones at the house, and so we just had to wait to see if it could be a bladder infection. AND it was with a little dehydration!! I have never been so happy to hear that but I never imagined it could hurt so bad and be such a scary thing. I am thrilled to tell you that I am on prescription medication and drinking an absurd amount of water....Seth is making sure of that!! So...all you expecting mothers, drink your weight in water!! The pain should be gone just in time to enjoy a Wigging Out birthday party tonight and Madeline's first baby shower tomorrow!! Tootles!
