Excited Uterus

So apparently I have an "excited uterus". I am 32 weeks along and everything was going well with this pregnancy. I had a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and my doctor mentioned that I looked a bit puffy or tired. I was probably a bit dehydrated. I tried to get a lot of water on board that day. Thanksgiving was the next day and I was helping out with the food prep and watching Ava and I neglected drinking as much as I probably should have. Then I went shopping on Friday morning. By Saturday morning, when I would stand up, I noticed that my stomach felt really tight. The kind of tightness that I would feel after a walk. But the tightness didn't go away until I laid down. I wasn't having any other contractions except for one big contraction when I stood. I took it easy on Saturday and was hoping it would go away by Sunday. No such luck. I stayed on the couch all day yesterday and called the on-call nurse to see what she had to say. She just said to take some Tylenol and drink lots of fluids and rest and unless I am having 4-6 contractions in an hour that I should just rest. That is what I did. Then at about 1am last night, I started having contractions while I was lying down in bed. I looked at the clock after what seemed to be closely spaced contractions.They were about 2-3 minutes apart. I decided to change position, so I went into the Living Room and sat down in the chair. The contractions were for sure coming on and getting a bit stronger, so I decided to lay down and see if that would make them go away...nope... I went into the bedroom and told Mike. He immediately popped out of bed and said let's go. I called my little sister and she was over within 5 minutes. Luckily, I listened to my ultra prepared husband and we had packed our hospital bag this past week. Our main concern was remembering our cord blood kit. So we packed up the car and off we went. The triage nurse hooked me up to all the monitors and she said that I was having contractions and that they were 2-3 minutes apart. She did 3 tests also to see what was going on.  One was to make sure I wasn't getting a UTI, because that can bring on contractions. The 2nd one was to test pre-term labor. I guess it can predict if you will go into preterm labor within the next 2 weeks. That one came back negative. The last was to see if I was dilating and I am not. The baby is not even moving down yet. I am 40% effaced, which really means nothing. So, we asked why I would be contracting and she said that sometimes dehydration or too much activity can bring it on, but not progress labor, which is what is going on with me. To stop the contractions they gave me some shot. I had to get a 2nd one after 30 minutes because I was still having a few more, but I was good after that. She released me and just told me to rest and drink lots of water and come back if I get contractions again. Let's hope I don't. I still have the one big contraction when I stand, so I have put myself on bed rest. I luckily have the nanny 3 days a week and my mom is coming this Thursday to help out. Mike's mom is coming this weekend so we are going to see if she can come on Thursday so that she can help me all day Friday. She lives in LA. I have one week covered. I am going to take it one day at a time and see what happens. I just hope Noah will stay in at least another 5 weeks. That would put me at 37 weeks, which is considered full term. Keep your fingers crossed!!
