False Alarm

At 4 am I thought my water broke.

We waited an hour and called the hospital. They had us come in to see if I was right, or off my rocker.

They did tests and hooked the baby (my belly) up to a fetal heart rate monitor and put a monitor on me to track contractions.

Jr. was doing well and my contractions were all Braxton-Hicks, painless and not the start of labor. I was ready to have the kid, but around 10 am I was starving and thought it best to return tonight. That way I could EAT, have my toe nails painted and baby could have a March birthday like we want.

More waiting in maternity triage... did or didn't my water break?

It didn't. False alarm. I'm off my rocker. Let's eat!
