I went to the hospital fully expecting to be sent back home. You see, I thought maybe the was a slight chance my water had broken and I wanted to have them check (water breaking is not always a huge gush like on movies, sometimes its a trickle) . So we went to the hospital. I was begining to feel uncomfortable but I fully expected to be sent home. They ran a test to check if my water had broken, and it came back negative. The nurse said that I was probably heading home. We sat in the little exam room for about and hour wondering why it was taking them so long to tell us to take a hike...
The nurse eventually came back, saying that since my contractions were regular and strong, they wanted to watch me for a few hours. I thought that we would just have to hang out a bit longer, then they would send me home. It wasn't until they came to inform me that they were going to go ahead and induce labor that I realized that I wasn't going home anytime soon. I still couldn't tell why they decided to induce. My doctor was out of town, and what doctor would voluntary take on an extra birth?
to be continued...
So glad that even with the false false alarm, I was able to be there :) That will always be a special treasured memory!
