I woke up Friday morning b/c I was having contractions! No pain accompanied them and I wasn't worried b/c I felt Ava moving around and kicking so I just knew she was okay. I called my OB's office as soon as they opened and they told me to go to the hospital to the L&D department just incase... so on I went.
Hubby & I had a trip full of follies! There was a TON of construction and we couldn't get to the hospital as we normally would have been able to, so we found an alternate route! I have never been to the L&D department so it took 2 tries to get to the correct entrance. We got up there and realized that we never registered so hubby went to do that! Of course once we were there in the L&D department a nurse took me immediately to a bed and they were WONDERFUL! She even had someone come up to my bed so we could register, of course by that time hubby had already gone to register.
Everything was fine, I was hooked up to a fetal monitor and a contraction monitor. I had a pee test to make sure I didn't have a urinary tract infection which I guess can cause you to contract? I didn't have any contractions while I was there and haven't felt any since. No urinary tract infection, yay! Ava was great, active as always. So, I think that I was having BH!
Even though it was a little scary to have to go to L&D, that was the only time I was nervous, I am so happy that hubby & I had a good dry run! Now we know a little more about the ropes and I feel good at how quickly and kindly I was attended to by the staff. We found out that the hospital will still be having construction going on when I deliver so we now know the best way to get into the hospital too, not to mention know exactly how to get to L&D.
I think that we are having a tour of the facilities too when I am 28 weeks. I am so glad that everything was okay.

Good to hear everything is ok and it just ended up as a dry run.
Was it Braxton Hicks? They suck.
