Surviving the Domestic Jungle

All my exercise landed me at the birthing center with extreme pain in my right side and contracting. I guess what I wanted but it turned out to be a pulled muscle. They think. I have been in bed for 2 days now and am totally miserable because I am cramping and cramping and NOTHING is happening. I’m bored out of my mind and a little grouchy to say the least. I’m not too thrilled with the midwife experience right now either. When I went to the birthing center, they were playing guessing games instead of testing me for problems. They did the Doppler for the babies heartbeat and no ultrasound (his heart rate went up), the tested my pee when I left. It just wasn’t what they do at the hospital. They would have been monitoring every move my baby made, I’m sure I would have had blood work done and pee tests and basically every other test to figure out what was going on. It was not labor and with the babies heart rate up in the 170′s, I was nervous. The pain was terrible and  was not impressed with their lack of urgency. Not everyone and everything is textbook! I’m really grouchy about all of this because the pain has been for days. Not so much on my right side like before but just cramping chronically and it is really getting annoying. I want the pain to stop or the baby to come! I’m a very whiny baby right now so I’m going to end this post now!!
