Pregnancy Update

I am 17 weeks and 1 day pregnant today - the past week has been horrible but I'm hoping things start looking up from here!

I've been cramping off and on for a week and been in the hospital for it twice now. Nobody can figure out what's going on. I had an ultrasound and the baby and everything else looked just fine. They took blood, urine, etc. and ran all sorts of tests which all came back normal.

I went back to work on Friday just long enough to go to the dentist and find out I need a root canal and then once back at work I was really dizzy and had to go home. I layed low all weekend but Sunday night I was cramping again and Monday it was worse. Back to the doctor yesterday who did more tests, gave me another prescription and told me to stay home in bed for 10 days and see what happens.

I am worried but I'm trying to stay positive. I have my gender ultrasound tomorrow (we had to re-book since I was in the hospital last Thursday) and I can't wait to see if this baby is a boy or girl.
