Copied from JAMM...
Today has been an insane day. Apparently it is SPD making me want to cry from how much it hurts (Denise & Cathy, I don't even know how you live with this). I also got my first "internal" - sans wand. OMG. That hurt in a way that I couldn't have imagined...
After spending quite some time in the temporary "holding pen" - which was where I had the internal... I was transferred over to the high risk L&D unit. This experience has been quite different from the last time... I guess I'm in pain this time!!! Tonights nurse was pretty pissy with me about having to rest on my left side. At one point dhe wanted to check my reflexes - I was half on my side, but not completely - and she grabbed one leg hit the knee and bent up ankle up... she didn't stop when I sried out in pain. Then chick grabs my other leg and does the same... at that point I just screamed. It hurt SO MUCH...
DH has been here with me, and after an hour and a half of hiding my tears I just couldnt' hide them anymore, so he helped me get up to go to the bathroom, then wouldn't let me lay down my my side. When nurse came in with my 11pm meds she saw the tear tracks and asked if I was ok and why was I not on my side... I just about started crying... She asked what my pain level was and I said it was at a 10. Luis looked at her and said that if I'm crying... it's past a 10. After watching me trying to move around for all of 10 seconds - half - in tears I think she got the point.
The doctor who saw me today - who did the internal - says that Im 100% effaced and 1cm dialted which I know means nothing... theoretically.
So, I'm here definitely overnight. Possibly longer... not really sure about that yet. DH is about ready to ask the peri to keep us in until piggies are here... so, who knoes...
