Adding More Meds
Everyday is unpredictable. Last night things had slowed down to 1 contraction per hour. I was hopeful we had knocked them out. Then, this morning at around 6:30 they had to give me an injection of terbutaline and then give me another one 20 minutes later. The doctors are trying to decide how aggressive to be since the contractions don't seem to be changing my cervix. And, chances are I will need a more aggressive treatment later on in pregnancy. They have decided to add Motrin every six hours to the procardia I am taking every four hours. As I type this I am back up to about every 3 minutes and am not feeling them. So, it is a waiting game to see what happens. I have set a goal to be able to go home by next Thursday. My mother is coming to visit for a long weekend and I really want to be at home. This morning the Dr. said that was a realistic goal. So, I am just hanging out another day!
