False alarms

This baby is quite the jokester.  The night of April 24th I started having contractions around 6.  I went for a walk and the contractions kept coming.  Finally at 8:30 we decided to head into the hospital.  When we got there the contractions stopped.  They had us walk around the hospital for a little bit but the contractions never picked up.  We were sent home.

The next day I went to the doctor and she suggested stripping my membranes to see if things would start.  When I walked out to the parking lot I felt a gush.  I was pretty sure my water broke.  My contractions never started but my mom came up and off we went to the hospital.  They told us my water had not broken but it was more likely the gel they use when they strip the membranes. We were sent home.  I was so frustrated.  You would think that would be something they would let you know.  I was determined I would be pregnant forever.
