Saturday, June 28th at 12:15am we headed back to Labor & Delivery. Since the last time I was there, I had a discussion with my Dr and he upped my contraction count from 7 to 9. That means if I had 9 or more contractions in a hour, I would have to call the preterm labor nurses to let them know.
We headed to San Mateo to pick up Taylor from her grandparents house, since they just got back from a 2 week trip to Yellowstone National Park. On our way home, around 8:30pm, I started my contraction count. I had 11 contractions in about 45 minutes, so when we got home I drank 2 glasses of water and recounted. This time I had 13 contractions in an hour and had to call it in. They told me to head to the hospital to get checked out.
We were praying we would have a better experience this time around, especially since I had an email from my dr stating there isn't a need to do the fetal monitoring, only to check me and make sure I'm not dilating and do an ultrasound to check the babies.
We were seen very quickly and they did a physical check and I am still at 1cm with my cervix measuring almost 3cm, which is still great. They brought in the ultrasound machine and all babies were doing well. I asked what could be the reason for all of these contractions and the dr said that since I'm carrying triplets, my uterus is being overly stretched and can cause it to contract. My urine analysis was good and so was my blood pressure, so they released us. It was really nice to be rolled out of the hospital while it was still dark outside.
With all these contractions, hubby doesn't think we will make it to our c-section date. We will see, only God knows when they will make their arrival.
