34w3d

So after putting dd to bed last night (well putting her in her room so she can cry and scream since she refuses to go to bed now) the cramping was still happening on and off so I decided to go to the hospital and get checked out.  I ended up having to wait there for over an hour to be seen (I guess Friday night isn't the best time to go to the ER).  Finally got taken back into a private room and hooked up to the monitors.  A few minutes later I started to feel sick.  Not knowing if it was the room being hot, or me just being hot because I was nauseous, but it was almost unbearable to lie there being hooked up.  Finally after the nurse was near the end of asking all her questions and putting them in the computer she asked if I was nausous and I said yes, she gave me a kidney bowl and after a few heaves I threw up, and then threw up some more.  I haven't vomitted all pregnancy and actually haven't vomitted for 3.5 years so I don't know why I became so sick there.  Afterwards a felt better, but it was short acting and 15 minutes later I was nausous again and begging for some antinausea meds. 

I didn't feel any cramping this whole time, though it could be that the nausea was too much on my mind.  The monitor never picked up any contractions.  The doctor came in did a digital exam said I was long and closed and therefore not in preterm labour.  She did say that they couldn't run my urine sample because it had skin cells in it so I had to give another one and they decided to catherize me for it.  That was not fun and I think the nurse most have poked something while doing it because the urine was very dark reddish brownish looking.  They kept me on the monitor for a little while longer before sending me home.  After the catherization I had a huge urge to pee so it was hard to concentrate on anything during this time.  Of course when I was finally allowed to pee it strung from the trauma of the catherization.  They said my urine was normal so must not be a UTI, but will be sent for further culture.  I was just happy to finally leave there, by this time it was almost midnight.

Everything is back to normal today which is good.  I do still wonder why I got so sick when I finally got in there though.  It was hot in the waiting room, but not as bad as the doctor's office on Thursday so I don't know.
