Best Moment of the week? I don't know this week has been pretty scary and emotional. On Friday evening I started cramping some and I waited til Tuesday to make an appt. My regular OB is on vacation this week and so I got in with another doc and he basically blew off the cramping. Fast forward to yesterday and the cramping only got worse. I decided to go in to the ER just to make sure everything was okay. I was having constant braxton hicks contractions, RLP, dehydration. I insisted on a US and cervix checked. They also did fluids and a steroid shot to see if that would help stop the contractions and sure enough it did. I see my regular OB on Monday and I am seeing if he can put in a request for a high risk OB.
