well, if you really want a shower, and you're worried about falling or not wanting to stand for so long, try this.....turn on the shower head, and sit down....or if you have a lawn chair, use it.....you can stand to get the important parts, but won't have to worry about falling or anything....and it works even better if you have a shower head that is detachable, with a hose.....also, the steam may help with any back pain you're having......
if you have the gas, i'd say if you start leaking more, or contractions start again, then go back......if he could see the contractions, i imagine they're there lol....you could always call your dr, rather than going to the er and going home again.....let him know how far away you are, and esp. that bf could see your stomach tightening and such.....maybe he could call the hospital and ask that you be monitored longer, that way, he knows you're there, and if you actually go into labor, he's already set to be there.....
I'm no pro but that would freak me out I would want to just stay at the hospital sounds to me like your in labor and they should be monitering you. If your that far away from the hospital I would definately not want to leave there.........so I would go back
well there is a closer hospital liek 5 minutes away, but they told me if i was to go in labor they woudlnt let me leave to go to the one where my doctors at, i already had a birth at the local hopsital and seriously there idiots.... so if it gets bad ill go to the one far away and hope its teh real thing because untill the 13th i have enough gas to get up there just once, and i still ahve an ob appoitnment to go to up there on wed.
i hate being poor its making me angry lol!
so far today ive been really eshausted, had diareea(sp?) and contractiosn, but very sporadic ones ones that are close then hours away from each other, till they get closer or water breaks im gonna stay yhome and try not to freak out~!
I know the feeling on being poor lol. I told my doc I refuse to go in unless it is a reg. OB appointment or if my water breaks...or Im having contractions so bad I cant walk, talk or breathe lol. I have 100 bucks in my account to get me till the 1st, and I bet this baby will be here by then.
