I hope so too. I will be calling the doctor tomorrow for a follow-up.

I saw that post. Wow, this pregnancy is not going well for you right now. I hope it improves quickly and you can enjoy the last several weeks.

Okay, so I just posted the "Spent last night in the hospital . . .", and I have been laying on my left side on the couch per doctor's orders (and because I don't feel like laying in my bed upstairs until bedtime), and drinking down my 3 gallons of water, and I go to use the bathroom and PASS A KIDNEY STONE!! I know that I am prone to kidney stones and that I have been in kidney failure before (1998), but this is too much. This pregnancy has been out of this world!!

So, yeah, I do believe that the antibiotics are working, now. LOL!

Oh my gosh!! I saw your post on the April 2009 board and was worried. Are you feeling better, yet? Have the antibiotics started working on the UTI?

I am due the 15th, but here's how last night went for me . . .

Yesterday, around 3pm I started to feel a lot of pain and burning in my lower pelvic region-near my pubic bone. It hurt every time I would use the bathroom, sit in a seat, or walk. DH and I were at the store picking up our fresh veggies for our fajitas, last night, and I could barely walk. He said that he could see the pain in my face. I decided then, it was time to go home, and I was going to call the doctor because my pain had become excruciating-and I had just talked to my doctor on Thursday about some pains that I'd been having and he suggested a possible UTI or Kidney Stone (which I have had problems with in the past). So, call the doctor and the PA calls me back and tells me to get the hospital-sounds like Pre-Term Labor. When I get there, they hook me to all these monitors. I have an IV, Antibiotics, and some various shots to stop contractions. They do a UA, and take some blood for some blood tests. Apparently, I was in Pre-Term Labor, I had a UTI and that was causing me to be dehydrated. So, my veins kept collapsing on them, and they were really having a time. They finally let me leave early this morning, and I am under strict orders of bedrest and fluids for the weekend. If it starts back again, I need to head back to the hospital. We'll see what the doctor says on Monday, when I call for a follow up with them. Good news is that I was only dilated to a 1 on the outside. Thank God! Aspen's not done baking, yet. That was really scary for me since I had a "perfect" pregnancy with Vail until 39 weeks. I had no idea what to expect, and I was so afraid. I still am pretty scared, and I am trying to take it easy-although, Vail doesn't really understand what's going on. He really hated seeing mommy being poked with the needles, last night, but we don't have anyone that could take him last night-it was so sudden.

Due the second week of April?? Get to know others that are due the same week as you! I have kept in touch with my friends from Vail's EDD week for nearly three years, now. Have fun!
