Labor & Delivery Visit

So I finally saw the inside of Labor and Delivery at St. John's this morning. This morning I woke up with lots of cramping but made it through getting ready and headed off to work. Once at work the pain in my lower stomach had worsen. I had gone to the ladies room and was in there for over 15 minutes... not really being able to move. My co-teacher called in our boss to help. By this point, I was crouched down and crying. She called my OB and they said to go to labor and delivery. I have to admit, it was really scary. I knew I couldn't be in labor but whatever was going on wasn't normal. I was sure Leila was ok because she was kicking the entire time (which didn't help the pain)
Once at the hospital the OB on duty had me give a urine sample. They tested it and came back saying there was a lot of blood found in it. By this point they had me stripped down and into a hospital gown along with having two monitors on Leila. They asked if I had fallen on my tummy or if someone had hit me. Of course, I said no. They watched me for about an hour and also called me regular OB. While there, Leila kept them hopping. She is such a mover that they had to keep unhooking the heart beat detector and chase her once again around my stomach. They were getting quite a laugh out of how hard she was kicking and how often. Every once in a while the screen jumped up as if to detect a contraction but it was only Leila kicking. Crazy how strong she is already.
After running some test and talking to my OB (Dr. Gibbons) They figured out I had a bad bladder infection. The doctor said if I would have waited any longer that it would have turned into pre-term labor. She said it was a really good thing I had caught it and came in immediately. She said it's a lot easier to treat the infection then to stop labor. Right now the main OB offices are closed and won't open until Wednesday (because of New Years) She said if I would have waited until Wednesday to be seen, I would have probably already been in labor.
We are just trilled little Miss Leila is in there safe and sound and not coming out yet. I guess for once, me being a wimp paid off.
