Three days later (after my mom went to the doctor's with me), I thought that possibly something was wrong I
leaked out some fluid and began freaking out. The Internet is a
blessing and a curse because there is so much information out there.
After stressing out for a while I decided to call Kaiser's advice
nurse. I talked to the nurse was told to change my clothes and wait an
hour. I called Scott and told him and he came home. (I laid in bed,
prayed, cried, and poured out my heart to God...while listening to
praise and worship songs starring at a past sonogram) After the second
longest hour of our lives past there was nothing so we decided not to go
in and wait until the morning. BUT, when I woke up there was still
more fluid. I called back and she told me that I was probably fine, but
since I was a first time mom that if I wanted to come in and put my
mind at ease that it was fine with them. Scott and I tried to put our
minds at ease, BUT just could not...We decided that after going to
birthday donuts for my dad that we would go in. We told my parents what
was going on and I was slightly relieved when my mom suggested going in
too. Better to be safe than sorry! We FINALLY got into Kaiser and went
to Labor and Delivery. The nurse who greeted us...took our info. Then
were put in a room, I put on a gown and then waited. Eventually a
nurse came in and told me what they would do to figure out what the
fluid was that was coming out. The put on a baby monitor and blood
pressure cuff on me. My blood pressure was high (no kidding the stress
of worrying about our baby was intense). Hearing the babies heartbeat
was music to ours ears and brought peace to our hearts! The nurses came
in all excited to see us and say are we ready to have a baby today...we
would tell them how far along I was and they nicely said "Oh no we
don't want to meet your baby yet!" We were monitored for an hour and
then they ran test on us. They concluded that the baby is pushing on my
bladder and squeezing out pee. That was the fluid I felt...(SUCH
RELIEF FOR BOTH OF US!!!!!!)
