scared me!

It all started really late SAturday night I began cramping...I thought I had just over done it and continued to rest but as the early morning came I was feeling worse... I got up Sunday morning to go the the bathroom and got very sick.... this all continued throughout Monday.... I called my doctor and the nurse said I had probably done too much and keep resting since I was not bleeding... Tuesday morning I had it... I couldn't take the pain anymore... I headed straight to Huntsville to the doctor... he checked out my cervix and it had shortened so he was afraid I was contracting so he sent me straight over to the hospital..... I was hurting so bad I really didn't ever feel scared until the nurse came in to listen to the baby with the doppler and we kept searching and searching but no heartbeat.... finally we heard it..... then the baby kicked at the doppler and started on the move again... the little stinker would not be still for anything..... :) they gave me some medicine for the cramping and hooked me up to the monitor..... the cramps had already eased up greatly by that time. Thankful no contractions! But my white cell count was up so the doctor wants to keep me overnight to hydrate me and make sure things go ok and I can keep food down.... well I ate supper..... but no luck not even 30 minutes after I ate it was gone. The doctor said I have an intestinal viral infection. NO FUN!!!!! It just had to run its course...... WEdnesday morning I kept down my breakfast and my lunch and three and 1/2 IV 's later he decided to let me go home. I do feel some better. Eating is still very difficult for me. I go back in 2 weeks for another check up...
