So I had a massive migraine after waking up yesterday morning and was exhausted because I got a call at 4:30 in the morning from some tenants complaining that they couldn't sleep because they're neighbors were keeping them up. Needless to say I didn't get any sleep so I was exhausted. So to top it off I am laying there in bed with my husband and I notice contractions... not a big deal... BUT it occurs to me... that was like the 3rd one I've felt in about 5 minutes! Then I start tracking them and I find that I'm having these small contractions every minute. I immediately began histerically crying saying, "I can't have him! Not yet! He's too little!" My husband is trying to calm me down in the meantime. Finally I call the doctor who instructed me to try drinking water and laying on my side that I may be dehydrated, but if they continued that I needed to go in and get checked out. I waited about an hour and half and finally after tracking them and feeling them coming on just a little stronger I went in. I wasn't too worried as I could feel him kicking in between contractions. What a relief that was! So I went in they hooked me up to a monitor which was reading about a contraction a minute so they gave me a shot to stop them... the first one didn't work, then a second and then a third which is all they could give me at that point. Finally the hooked me up to an IV which really DRUGGED me up! I remember the nurse coming in looking at the monitor saying, "You're still contracting. Let me go call the doctor!" By this point I'm really starting to worry. An on-call doctor came in introduced herself and said that she needed to check my cervix. This was about 6 HOURS after I got there. It seemed weird to me that wasn't the first thing they did, but what do I know. Anyway, she checks my cervix and says, "Your cervix is fine the contractions are not causing any change so that's good!" I thought man it's about time! Now let me go home! So they kept me on the IV a bit longer and I finally fell asleep. The woke me up and said, "Your contractions have stopped! We're going to send you home!" I asked, "So I am not in labor?" She said, "No your not, but we still don't understand why your having contractions and every minutes at that. We wanted to make sure the contractions had stopped before letting you go home." The doctor came back in and told me that if they continue, but with pain that I'll need to come in again. Needless to say I was TERRIFIED by the reality that my little boy may be born early. The doctors still don't have any answers for me, but I've been home and have felt contractions here and there, but I guess now I know not to worry unless they are painful. Man was that a quick strong dose of fear and worry. I'm sure it's only an inkling of whats to come. I feel so much love for my baby boy and I will go through as much pain and discomfort that is necessary to keep him alive and heathly. It just made me realize how much love I have for him and that I would do anything for his well being! Even if it means being fat, unattractive, and uncomfortable! :)

I am so glad you and your lil' man is ok!!! That had to be very very scary. I can't even imagine. Yesterday all I could think about was that I was ready to be normal, and not pregnant, again... now I feel bad. Keep us updated! I will be thinking and praying for you both.

How scary you poor thing! Im so glad to hear that it wasn't labor and that hopefully all is well!

I am so glad you did not dilate! That must have been really stressful! When I went into labor with my daughter the contractions were just the way yours seemed to be. Close together but not really painful. Luckily I was 40 weeks and I did dilate! When your water breaks it IS painful though! I hope your contractions subside for now

Wow, that's crazy! I'm glad they stopped them. Lol, in about 12 weeks you'll be praying for them to start again!

I'm very glad to hear that things are okay with you and the little man. I have one question, being a first time to be mommy, what did your contractions feel like?

Oh for crying out loud...isn't it a shame now we have to worry about preterm labor now? I'm so sorry you had to go through this then you'll probably be antsy with each tweak from here on in. What a scare...it seems to me I haven't been able to relax much and enjoy my pregnancy - I'm good for maybe an entire day or two before something else gets on my mind or some other symptom scares the crap out of me... I hope you don't have any more contractions or scares like this. 10 more weeks and we are considered full term! So close and yet so far. Argh!!! Hang in there!!!!!!!
