After a couple of lovely days, taking the time to enjoy my pregnancy, at 3am yesterday morning there was a pop and some leaking and TBH is completely scared the crap out of me and I was afraid to move, I was scare that I may have broken my waters.... I evenutally did. Nothing else eventuated and I tried to get some mroe sleep, but wa up bright and early with Nakita, I tried not to think about it during the day and really put it out of my mind and nothing had happened I just had a dripping feeling sporadically throughout the day
Then last night I had a massive bout of Braxton Hicks's, my stomach was rock hard for over 5 hours, when ever I stood up it was very uncomfortable and it wasn't relenting, they BH's went for more than double what they normally go for, generally they have gone for only 1-2 hours at a time.
So I called my OB's office this morning just to let them know, as I have been told to let them know of any changes, I spoke to one of my OB's lovely MW's I wasn't feeling too concerned, as this morning my tummy was softer and otherwise I would have called my OB direct, she then spoke to my OB and they wanted to see me straight away. So I had to ring around to get a friend to watch Nakita and a lovely friend who lived near my OB's office was able to help me out at almost no notice, I was so grateful she was able to help me out.
I got to my OB's office went straight through and had to lie down for 1/2 an hour then they did an exam and there was quite a bit of fluid, but it didn't have the appearance of amniotic fluid and my OB took a sample and put it on a slide and under the microscope to look for a ferning appearance. I was fascintated by the process and it reminded me of my school and first year uni days, especially when the MW said the last slide she was dry snapped! We then had a laugh about when I was an school, breaking a slide because I focussed in too far and didn't realise how close the lens was to the slide went straight through it.
My OB thinks that I have an infection, even though I don't have any other symptoms. So the samples had been sent off to pathology for testing and I get the results either late Monday or early Tuesday, and then she will advise treatment, depending ont he results.
She was also concerned about the change in my BH's so has put me onto Nifederpine, to calm them down, and if I need to use it more than once a day she is going to change the dosage. But as I have only been getting them every few days and it had been almost a week break until last night I am hopeful that we won't need to make any changes soon.
So we will wait and see what happens over the next week, but hopefully we can get everything to settle down again and get back on track :)
In the meantime I will will enjoy this lovely Blackberry and Apple tea :)
