Stomach flu while pregnant is no fun




At 28wks and 1 day, Randy and I got the stomach flu. I ended up getting dehydrated and had to go to the hospital since I started having contractions. I didn't fully know what I was feeling as far as the contractions go. When we got to the hospital, they hooked me up to heart monitors for the babies, a contraction monitor as well as an IV to receive 3 bags of fluids.
On the monitor screen, Baby A's heart rate is the top left number, B is the bottom left number and the right number changed as it measured my contractions. I was having contractions every 3 minutes.
The top photo shows the bands that held the monitors into place. The washclothes are holding the heart monitors better under the bands and the top blue band is the contraction monitor.
