Events prior to Hospital

Early Saturday morning at about 4 am Haley woke me up and said "I don't know for sure but my water may have broke." She said she felt a "gush" of warmth and then went to the bathroom and emptied her bladder. We thought no way could she have "broke her water" she is only 32 weeks along. So we decided to wait to see if it happens again or if something changes. An hour later, at 5 am, she said she felt another "gush", so we decided to call her doctor to see what she thought. Her doctor said to go in to make sure everything is OK. We went to Ogden Regional and were checked in, the first nurse had her give a urine sample and then she would check her with a swab that detects amniotic fluid. But since she gave the sample and cleaned up, the test came back negative; not detecting any fluid. The nurse said go home and gave us a sheet on how to determine, "true labor." We went home, but she kept on leaking and filled up several pads of clear fluid with a tint of blood. Haley did not want to believe that this could be happening. After, she leaked a lot, I told her to call her doctor and explain what was happening to her. Her doctor said "go to the hospital and get checked again, it sounds like it may be something." We went back to Ogden Regional and sure enough her water was broke. In fact, when she took her pants off fluid started dripping on the floor. They gave her antibiotics and a steroid shot for the baby to help develop his lungs. They wanted her to hold off for 48 hours, which would maximize the benefits of the medication for the baby. She has been doing awesome and the morning of the 4th they took Haley off the medication that stops her contractions. Now we are waiting for the time when the baby says, "I am ready!"
