The following is the saga of how my twin boys came to be born 8 weeks prematurely, due to the rupture of a tangled mass of malformed blood vessels in my kidney. Found blood in my urine 3x today. Doctor orders immediate hospitalization. Contractions have been noted but no dilation. Testing continues but is limited due to the pregnancy.
Contractions continue occasionally but still no dilation.
All the above continue and surgery is performed to install a stent in the tube that connects the kidney to the bladder to help allow the passage of suspected stone and clots. This is a most unpleasant ordeal. I have not been out of bed since my arrival. I start feeling contractions which come quite steadily about 5 minutes apart. I realize I am now in labor for real.
