My first trip to labour and delivery

My insurance changed from when Enzo was born, and along with the carrier, the hospitals I can visit and be covered has changed as well. What this means is that the new baby will be born in a different hospital than Enzo, as well as in a different city. And I made my first trip to the new hospital last night.

We went out for dinner and when I got home, I started having a lot of cramping, lower abdominal pain, and back pain. It went on for about 30 minutes before I broke down and called my doctor. He told me to head to the hospital. We left the house around 11 pm, got to the hospital and into labour and delivery around 11:20. I spent the next approximately 2 hours lying in a bed hooked up to fetal monitors and having my urine tested. Everything is fine, my cervix is still closed, no contractions. I was told to make sure that I'm getting enough rest and enough fluids and sent on my way with a couple of painkillers. We got back home around 2 this morning.

I'm glad that we're all well, because when the pain began, I was very frightened that something was horribly wrong.
