So we're here at the hospital now. Admitted yesterday at 5:15 pm and as of right now, still pregnant with both twins. Cathy had a lot of pain over the weekend which is what led to me and her doctors forcing her to come here.
She was given magnesium as tocolysis (medication to stop contractions) and for a little while at least, it worked. By 3 am, she had gone from contractions q 2-3 minutes to only having 2-3 per hour. But then the contractions vengefully returned with new underlying, continuous lower abdominal pain.
Cathy got a few doses of pain medicine, but it really only succeeded at making her sleepy. The ultrasound and repeat exams didn't turn up anything concerning, but also haven't revealed the source and nature of the pain. Right now, Cathy is at MRI to evaluate the tissue of the uterine environment and determine whether it's safe to continue carrying the twins...
