Remember my "instinct" post?
Copied from my blog:
I lost some blood this afternoon, and called my dad. He said to get it checked out, because it wasn't really something that was "right" for this stage.
I'm dialated to about 2 cms, 50% effaced at least. The first reaction was to keep me in the hospital, put me on bedrest and slowly increase activity if the bleeding stopped. Ideally they want to keep him a few more days, although there isn't any real reason for concern. I also was prescribed monitoring twice a day, to see how baby's keeping up in there.
Before transferring me to a room, they wanted to do the first monitoring. So I was hooked up, and on the walk to the monitoring room, I started getting BH's. While monitoring they turned out to be regular, about a minute or 2 apart, though not very strong or long yet.
After nearly two hours, they released me, and because of the regularity decided to keep me in a birthing room; they suspect it might be more than just some prodomal or false labor.
Edwin just went home to get some stuffs (I hadn't exactly been packing my bags yet, LOL!), and get the computer. Theoretically I should have internet access here, I just need my patient number to be able to log in. We'll see how that goes.
I have the impression that the ctx are getting some more intense and closer together, so while I went here under the impression that I was just going in for a check, I'm now starting to lean to "this might be it".
I'm feeling fine, and the docs don't seem to be the least worried, so I'm not either. If you don't hear from me for a day or so; well, you know where I'm at. Remember that it's 8.30 pm here now, so the next 12 hours of radio silence don't have to mean much.
(Funny coincedence: May 29th is the date on which Edwin and I moved in together 4 years ago
. Who knows if it will turn out to be an even more special date!)

Your due date is so close to mine that I'm sure you were hoping/expecting a baby born after June 1st (37 weeks), but, like you say, we are really so very close now. I'm sure things will be fine!
