Melissa was a bridesmaid in my wedding and I was asked to be one in her wedding! The festivities began on Friday when I left work, picked up her friend and officiant from the bus station, picked up her wedding dress (huge responsibility!), and drove an hour to the venue. We did a quick rehearsal and enjoyed a delicious dinner with all of the guests who had arrived at that point. Bill got in later that evening since he had to work on Friday until around 6.Saturday morning Bill and I got up and had breakfast together then I went to the salon with Melissa and the other bridesmaids to get our hair done and to spend some time together. I left around 1:45 to get dressed for the ceremony and to bring the officiant from the hotel to the venue. While I was getting ready, I suddenly felt fluid leaking into my underwear. I FREAKED out but luckily my incredibly supportive and calming husband was able to get me under control and I called my doctor. They told me to come back home to the hospital to get checked out. I was so nervous.
We checked out of the hotel and sped back to Syracuse. Melissa was concerned and told me to just take care of myself and the baby. When we got to the hospital, they got me right in and hooked up to the monitors. It was such a relief to hear the baby's heart beating away steadily. My doctor happened to be the one at the hospital so he checked me out and tested the fluid. It turned out that it wasn't amniotic fluid, THANK GOD!!! They think it was probably just a big rush of mucus but not necessarily my mucus plug so they released me less than an hour after I got there.
We quickly got dressed and decided to go back for the wedding. We missed the ceremony, which I'm still pretty upset about, but made it back in time for dinner. I'm so happy that I wasn't really in labor and the baby is staying put for a while longer. Melissa was so relieved that everything was okay and happy to see us back at the wedding. I'm super sad that I missed her ceremony but I'm glad we got everything checked out.
Stay put little guy!
Yes Please, Stay put!No more scares for any of us!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine everything that was racing through your mind at that time. Glad you were still able to enjoy some of her wedding festivities even with the scare.
It was one of the scariest things I've ever experienced. Bill just kept telling me everything would be fine but all I could think of were NICUs and incubators. I'm so glad he's staying where be belongs!
