I am so sick of hospital food!

I ended up staying at the hospital Thursday and was discharged Saturday morning. The dr. on call said I could go home (to my mom's house) to get a break from the hospital. At that point the contractions were stopped and I was 4 cm dilated. He expected me back Saturday night/ Sunday due to the contractions coming back, but wanted to let me go home, get a shower, relax a bit. Sure enough, I started having contractions (at least 4 in an hour) and there was some blood so I called and the dr said to come to the hospital. I am sure the blood was from me dilating more, though they didn't check and the contractions pretty much stopped. Once I got to Northside I only had around 2 more contractions and that was it. I wanted to go home so badly because nothing was going on but the dr said to stay overnight for observation. It was the worst experience so far. The people were not nice, it took them 4 hours to get me the medicine I am supposed to take every 6 hours to stop the contractions and overall was just a bad experience especially since nothing was going on with me or the baby. We finally go to leave the hospital around noon Sunday. I definitely learned my lesson. I will not call the dr again until the contractions have been regular for over an hour or my water breaks. I am NOT staying like I did the last time. I have bruises and bumps all over my arms and hands from all the blood they took and IVs and such. I am just praying that Logan is just fine and there are no contractions at least until I go to the doctor Thursday. I am being extra good on bed rest as to not stress my muscles and not start the contractions again. I appreciate all the prayers and thoughts and please don't get any feelings hurt if I do not call back or anything... It has been a very rough week and most of the time I am either napping or feeling pretty miserable, so please understand the lack of communication. Have a great day and hopefully I will have a happy update soon!

  3. Aw sweetie, I am so sorry the experience was so bad and the people were idiots. I hope you are resting up again today and everything remains calm until your doctor's visit. You are in my thoughts, doll!
