Labor and Delivery Update

I went into Labor and Delivery again yesterday. I was not dehydrated this time. I was having contractions and ended up having 2 shots because I started to have contractions again after the first one. I am now on medicine every 4 hours while awake to keep the contractions away. I do not like this medicine. It elevates my heart rate and makes me jumpy. I worry about Madison and how she is handling all of this. I am off work today by doctor's orders. I am also told by my doctor that I cannot go to work if I am cramping at all.

This begs the question... do I quit work now? I am not planning on coming back to work after she is born anyway, but 1-2 months of bringing home a paycheck would be nice. At the same time, I would hate to keep working and then miss a lot of it due to cramping. I would rather my work be able to find someone for my position who they can count on. My department only has 3 people and you really need all three to get through the day.

I have always thought having Madison early would be nice, but I was thinking only a week or 2 not 9. I want her to be healthy and strong. I go Monday for my next ultrasound to see how she is growing. I have a follow-up appointment with my doctor on July 20th. I will be 33 weeks then. All of this has been kind of scary. I now find myself wanting her to constantly move, so I know she is ok. Please pray for peace for me and safety for her.
