I had a dr's visit on Monday, July 9th. Doctor asked me if I felt any contractions at all. I said no. She said because I was already 2 cm dilated. I told her I didn't feel contractions, I just felt the braxton hicks every few hours. She said those are contractions. I said, "Oh". This was my first time being pregnant, so I had no idea. She checked baby's heart rates and it was kinda low, so she wanted me to schedule an appointment at 5 am the next day to deliver my baby. I called work to request for time off right away. We were so excited that baby's coming out soon! I kept telling baby to come out on July 7 (so his bday would be 7/7/07). I was supposed to take maternity leave starting on July 16th.
So, we went to sleep around 11 pm on July 9th. We both were excited, so we couldn't sleep. We woke up around 11:55. I was sitting on the sofa and I started to feel contraction again and again, so I timed it. Then I felt wetness (I thought I pee), so I went to the bath room to pee. After that I told my husband, urm I feel contractions about every 5 minutes. Eric said, "Ok, I think it's time to go". We packed our bags and headed toward hospital. On the way there, I called the hospital, and the nurse told me I should wait about an hour to check into the hospital. I told her my contractions are 5 minutes apart. She said they usually recommend patients to wait an hour or two, but if I want to check in now, I can." After I hang up, I was thinking, is she crazy?
