Apparently i cant seem to get a break since being admitted to the hospital way early friday morning. My iron levels have actually continued to go down since i've been admitted and they had been hooking me up to an iron iv, of which apparently i'm the 1 in 100,000 person that is actually allergic to it as it sent my body spinning downhill last night. I started labor contractions, then led to a strange rash and pain moving from my feet up my legs, i kept blacking out as my blood pressure went erratic etc. It was a really scary experience. I'm starting to feel so worn out and dont know how much more "excitement" i can take as i sit here at 4 cm dilated and they keep trying to hold me off. At this point if i DO deliver vaginally there is a good chance i will need a blood transfusion and if i have a c-section i will end up needing one for sure, which definitely has me a bit on edge. I'm not one for drama and i feel like its just one thing after another lately. Quite honestly i'm scare, i'm exhausted, wondering how much more i can take being cared for by drs i dont know. All i can remind myself is that its in God's hands.
Oh honey! Hang in there! I'm not in the hospital but I TOTALLY understand how you feel. I am not into being dramatic either, and yet, I feel like this pregnancy has it imbedded in it! Soon...right?
Sending you lots of :hug: s ~ I am so sorry so much is going on right now :hug: You are in the right place though & I am sure they will do what is best for YOU and your little ones. Hang in there momma :hug:
:hug: Momma!! I am so sorry that you are having to endure all of that! I hope things calm down for you soon!! :hug:
Oh my goodness how scary!! :hug: Will definitely be thinking of you and your babies and hoping that the drama goes away and you can cook these little ones longer.
Have they told you how long they want you to hold off from delivering? 34 weeks? I can't imagine how scary it must be going through all of this. I hope that things start going uphill from here! As others have said, you are definitely in a safe place but it is still a very new place for you to be!! Hang in there... it will be worth it in the end. I have heard people say that difficult pregnancies bring easier babies! hehe! Good luck!!
At this point they said they are only half-heartedly going to try to stop my labor. The big thing is that they are hoping my iron goes up enough before the boys show up. Today the dr said that he thinks i might be able to make it to week 34 and if i do they are going to let things go as they may, so we'll see what happens. Would be nice to have a couple of calm days and get some rest before they boys wont take no for an answer.
