While I was at work Saturday I started having contractions that were 5 to 10 minutes apart. They werent painful, just really annoying. It feels like someone starts hugging me too damn hard and I cant breath.
I sucked it up until around 4pm when it just got too damn annoying to work anymore so I clocked out a couple hours early and went home.
Around 6 I started getting really light headed so we called the hospital and went in.
I thought the light headed thing was because I felt like I couldnt breath every 5 minutes but it turned out that my blood pressure was through the roof.
The nurse at the hospital told me to consider the annoying contractions my normal but they were really worried about my blood pressure so they wrote me a note saying "dont work!" and gave me a big orange bucket to collect my urine in for 24 hours so they could test for protein.
Monday I went in to the doctor and gave them my big nasty jug of urine. They checked my blood pressure again and I was back to normal. My doctor told me that while I dont have to be on bed rest anymore if it didnt effect my maternity leave I should just stay home.
So I called my boss and told her I am officially on LOA.
And now I have nothing to do but sit around and wait. I am not good at waiting.
I dont know what to do with myself.
Im going to go drive my car over speed bumps at 45mph...see if that doesnt get her the fuck out.
LOVE it! I've been checking here daily to see how it's going. I'm sure you've been reading up on what to expect and are ready. Within days after having your baby your emotions will run amuck. You'll wonder what you ever did without a child, you'll wonder why you brought an innocnet person into this crazy world and you will feel love like you have never felt it before. Emotional chaos! You'll be a great mom. Good luck - everything will be fine.
