Spent the Night In L & D...
Posted: 07-28-06 16:36pm

Hey guys I havent posted in a long time just because I have been rea;;y busya nd been doing a lot of things in the last months that ihave to myself.

On wednesday morning I woke up with pains and pressure in my back so I went to lay on the couch to see if they would go away thinking that I might of just slept the wrong way or something, after lying on the couch for about 1/2 hr I noticed the pains were wrapping around to my abdomen and were like excruciatting pain that would come and go so I told my sister I was liki think I am having contractions so she timed them and they were about 20 mins apart roughly and she was like ok well we are going to take u to the hospital if they get worse or if they get longer so we wiated around for 2 hours or so adn they got longer and worse so I went to the hospital and tehy rushed me by stretcher to the hospital where I will be delivering at and they put an iv in me adn I had to stay the night the contractions went on until 11 30 that night but it wasnt effecting my cervic so I guess these are what they call braxton hicks contractions!!!....Crazy feelings wow!!! I thought I was going to have my baby right there it was crazy they did a prom swab to see if ull have your baby premature and I guess I am going to havea premature baby which dosent surprise me because it runs in my family alot ..Anyways just thought id share my crappy night .. Hopefully I dont have another one like that it is so hard to tell fake labour from real.. Even tho everyone says u will know when its real labour I donno if I will......

Whoever said braxton hicks dont hurt is a liar....


They do hurt and can get pretty bad I actually dilated through one bout they thought I would have my son preemature and the sutbborn kids stayed in past due date lol.

Well I hope things get better, braxtons hicks dont mean baby will premature and even that swab is bs sometimes just be positive/relax. How far along are you I was in the hospital from 26 weeks on with constant contractions.

I went in the hospital monday july 31 with the same thing i'm 37 weeks along. My husband and I stayed the night. It was the worst night of my life with the iv I was in the bathroom every 45 min all night long.
I was having light contractions and dr said I was loosing my mucus plug and could have the baby that night or the next day. Well it's wednesday aug. 2 and i'm home with no baby.
Funny story while I was in there my husband and I herd this poor woman screaming her lungs out, I was like ok take me home now please that scared me to death.
