Here we go again!

Here we go again with the contractions. I had to get a shot today around 6:15 for the contractions. Then I got another one at about 7:30. Then at about 9:15 I got started on iv fluids. They wanted to be able to give me a 3rd shot but my pulse was too high. If your pulse is over 120 then you aren't supposed to get another shot. Mine was around 135 so shot number 3 wasn't an option. The on-call doctor (who is one I totally trust!!) said to start me on iv fluids to see if that would help. She also had the nurse give me an Ambien with my 10:00 meds so that it will hopefully help my uterus relax. At this point the next step is to start the magnesium if the contractions don't stop. I am afraid at the rate I am going tonight I will be back on the mag by morning. We have my weekly ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow morning so we will be able to see what damage this contraction episode has caused. Please say a prayer that we have a little more time for these girls to grow and develop before we have to deliver them. Thank you for your prayers!
