Dazed... we sound like two peas in a pod... kind of...
I started having contractions at 23 weeks and was on bed rest too. Looking at your next few kids, I'm kind of glad I only had one. But then again, we had to go the in-vitro way just to get pregnant with our DS.
So the whole story would be:
Four years of trying....
Celebrating a successful IVF... (yahoo!!)
Terrified upon finding out that we had one in the uterus and one in the fallopian tube..
Followed by emergency surgery to remove said fallopian tube...
Celebrating that I was still pregnant with DS...
Terrified by contractions at 23 weeks...
Bed rest...
And an emergency evacuation of the whole town at 32 weeks due to a raging forest fire. Spent 4 weeks on bed rest in temporary lodgings in a strange town while not knowing where my OB had evacuated to...
Returned to town to find that my street had been the final fighting line of the firemen... the other side of the street burned to the ground while our side survived... 244 houses lost in all.
I think someone rewarded me by only making me go through 3 hours of labor! But at 36 weeks DS was really ready to come out.
Just thought I would make you 20 hour labor people feel better!
