Hospital-Scary!

I went to the doctor yesterday with what I thought was bladder infection. I was in pain but not too bad yet. They called in a prescription of antibiotics and sent me on my way. All of the sudden I went from a pain scale of 5 to 10 in just minutes. I quickly called my doctor and asked him to prescribe me any pain medicine a 37 week pregnant can take. He called in something called percocet and that SUCKED! Around 5 pm that evening, contractions started bad and were every minute so Chez rushed me to the hospital (it was just like you see in the movies). They quickly checked me in, began to monitor the baby and my contractions. They also checked my cervix to find that I was 3 cm and 80% effaced. I thought for sure I would be having her that day but once the morphine kicked in, I was feeling better and the contractions subsided. They took a urine sample and said it was a bladder infection and probably kidney stones. I went home still in some pain and scared it would happen again. He wrote me a prescription this time for vicoden and that definitely did not work. Around 6 am, I told Chez it was time to go back to the hospital because now I had a fever and felt ten times worse. I could hardly walk. I got another shot of morphine which helped and this time they saw that I had a massive kidney infection and a fever of 102. I was feeling like I wanted to die and I told them I was scared to go home. The doctor decided he wanted to keep me here for 48 hours, put me on an iv of antibiotics, and give me regular doses of medication. So, here I am in the hospital slowly starting to feel better and hoping that I can get healthy in time for our daughter's arrival.
