On Wednesday July 20, 2011 I started having Braxton Hicks Contractions around 1pm in the afternoon. I tried doing what I could walking around, taking a nice relaxing bath, doing some yoga, laying down, and nothing was working very well. Around 8:45pm they started getting painful and closer together, and after calling the OBGYN on call and monitoring myself after an hour the contractions were about 8 mins apart and we called an ambulance and headed to St. Lukes of Allentown.
I was checked in around 12am Thursday and they hooked me up to a fetal monitor, and were measuring my contractions. They said everything was healthy and appeared as it was supposed to be. They said the false labor was brought on by dehydration and stress and had promptly hooked me up to an IV and fed me 2 bags of Saline solution.
I had to call and reschedule my check up appointment from Thursday at 10:30 to this upcoming Thursday (July 28, 2011) at 9:15. I'll be able to give more updates then.
