it seems our baby is in a bit of a hurry. Wednesday night I was feeling a lot of pressure (which is not out of the ordinary lately) and then suddenly some pretty strong cramping. I called the nurses line and they advised me to have someone take me to the hospital. Of course I had the car and Tim was at work so poor BFF and husband had to be my personal driver.
I kept saying over and over how stupid I felt and how ridiculous I was going to feel if they just tell me it’s Braxtin Hicks and send me home. (I always worry that I’m overreacting!) Turns out, I was having contractions! At a mere 28 weeks this baby was trying come out! I couldn’t believe it. They gave me a shot and set me up to a few moniters (baby didn’t like this. every few minutes he would furiously kick at them and his heart rate would skyrocket before calming down again. he has an attitude!). After a few hours my contractions finally stopped and they ordered me to bed rest for a day.
Feeling much better today although I’ve been banned from lifting things or bending over which is a lot harder said than done! I hadn’t realized how many things I lift on a daily basis! Hopefully he will stay in there for at least another 10 weeks and then I will be happy to oblige his pushy arrival.

Well I hope everything works out and he stays put for a while longer. Good luck.

Sorry sweetie. Try to rest and relax. If he stays in till 35 weeks all will be ok. Hugs

Oh my! How scary/kind of exciting I guess. Maybe he’s just giving you some experience for when the “real” time comes! We’re glad he decided to wait!
