Horrible Night

[bethsflutterby]

I went to bed fairly early 11ish last night, just because I was feeling particularly yucky/worn out. Woke up at 3am with contractions and a VERY sick tummy.... after several trips to the bathroom, I decided just to stay in the living room and time contractions...they were every 3-6 minutes apart up until 5:30am, went back to bed, and woke up 4 times up until 6:30AM feeling contractions painful enough to make me wince and take my breath away, so....LO & Behold, I decide to keep DS home from school planning a trip to the ER...umm, still a super sick belly, NOW super exhausted, and contractions are painful but no where near as many! :doh: :doh: :doh:
such is life, I am sooo tired and hope all this pain is accomplishing something!:cry: :cry:

Take a hot bath - that helped me. Or stand in the hot shower. Drink some tea and try to rest/relax/sleep. You need to conserve your energy for thing to come! :thumbsup:

Ive taken 6 hot showers/baths since Saturday! :giggle: I did have hubby buy some herbal tea for me though! I am going to go lay down, I am feeling really bad right this moment! :(

Definitely rest and relax as much as you can. I'd keep taking lots of hot showers just like you have been. If it is comfortable for you, I even lay down in the shower on my back with a towel under my head with the water aimed to hit my stomach to help ease the muscles. This way if I'm feeling really tired I don't have to stand but let the water do its work anyways. Or even take something in there that you can lean against so you could squat or something like that. Maybe you already do this but thought it was worth suggesting to you since it always really helps me feel so much better.

Thanks ladies! My contractions are nada now, I see the DR. on Wednesday...so we'll see where we are then! I have a headache(borderline migraine) I guess from my sleepless nights lately, hubby has been rubbing me down at night thank goodness, I was having really achey back and the back of my legs....atleast that is a little better...i just feel period-like crampiness all over! Ugh...still hope the baby stays put a little while longer though! what can I say? After all this time I just want as healthy as a baby as possible!!!! I can handle another week or 2! I'll be 37 weeks tomorrow! :woot:
