I got into bed around 9pm or so to watch tv for awhile before going to sleep and I started getting this constant pain in my groin area. When Dave got home I told him and we decided to call the doctor to let them know. My own doctor was on call that night, made me feel alot better. She said she did not think it was contractions because it was a constant pain but wanted me to come into Labor and Delivery to get monitored. So we went to the hospital. We got there around 1045pm. I had to give a urine sample right when i got there so they could get that to the lab to be testing for a UTI, that test came back negative. Next, they hooked me up to heart monitors to get the babies heartbeats. Both were good, well when they werent setting off the alarms because they were moving so much and the machine lost their h/b's. They really didnt like the straps on my belly and they sure did let me know. When looking at their heartbeats on the paper that prints out, they noticed i was having contractions. So they called my doctor and she came right to the hospital to do some tests on me. She checked my cervix and said it was still closed but soft and did a test to see if i would be delivering within the next 2 weeks and that came back negative(Phew). So i have at least two weeks left, we are hoping for alot longer though. My doctor then went to call the high risk doctor i have been seeing to have him come in to do an ultrasound and do a more thorough cervix check with the ultrasound. Both babies were very active and growing good. Lucas now weighs 2 1/2 pounds, Rachael weighs 2 pounds. Really have grown alot in two weeks. My doctor wanted to keep me overnight just to keep an eye on me so I stayed the night at the luxurious hospital. Dave left around 245am to go home and get some sleep and he came back shortly after 8. By the time he got there, the doctor had already been in to re-check me and said that nothing changed since she last checked me so i was free to go home. They did give me breakfast before i left, wasnt the greatest food i have ever had but at least it was something to get in my belly to give to the twins.
I have to goto the OB this afternoon for another check. Will give that update later.

Oh no! That is not a good situation! I am glad that things are looking good right now! So happy that you are not dilating or anything. Scary huh? Isnt it funny that the babies dont like things pushing on them! Glad they are getting heavier as well...that is always a good sign!
It was scary but so glad that i did not start to dilate. Since i have started to feel them move and kick, they do not like anything touching my belly including me. Sometimes i will rest my arms on my belly just to get them going. Oh i forgot to add, they are both breech now, its okay though because we want to have a c-section so they can stay that way. Yep my little miracles sure are growing, makes me feel good too because it means i am eating enough for all three of us, sometimes i do not think i am but it is reassuring that they are gaining weight and getting big.
