Warning: A wee bit of TMI inside...
So since last night, I've been having off and on contractions. It started feeling like my period was coming, but worse. I slept for about an hour total. This morning, my husband got up and decided we were to come back home ASAP (we were down at the new house). My MIL flew out the door behind us. The whole ride home, they were about 6 minutes apart, but when I got home and showered, they slowed down (so i am guessing it was a bad case of braxton hicks).
Well, I decided i was hungry, and Carl made me a box of Mac N Cheese. As SOON AS I GOT DONE EATING, i got sick. Everywhere. WTH? This is the 2nd time i've done this in the last 2 weeks. Feel hungry, eat, and then as soon as I am done, i get sick. Carl is beginning to think I hate his food, ha-ha! The last time it happend was with Chicken Stir-fry (my favorite). Now i can not stomach it.
Ok, i guess this was more of a vent then anything. I am hoping that the contractions come back soon, but i am getting hungry again and am afraid to eat anything. Grrr..
Re: Warning: A wee bit of TMI inside...
where is tmi??? LOL
well i hope it is a sign of your body is getting ready.. STart running!!!!!!!!!!! i mean it, it ll come right back :-D
Haha! Ok, so i guess there isnt a whole lot of "tmi inside", but when i made the subject, I had different words in my head for the body of this post. I guess i toned them down a bit, because i know that from being pregnant, there are certain words i dont want to hear / see so i wanted to warn others. Anything to do with being sick was one of them, ha-ha!
too funny
i think its cuz nothing is TMI with me so i can take almost everything..
The throwing up thing that you mentioned happened to me a couple of times late in my pregnancy with Jakob. The weird (and kinda gross) part for me was that after throwing up, I still wanted to eat more immediately afterwards!!!! Yuck, huh?
I think these are all signs that your body is readying itself for labor. Are you drinking lots of water, though? Sometimes Braxton Hicks or cramping can happen when you haven't been drinking enough so keep that in mind too.
I can not believe how far along you are now, Jess - UNREAL!
Laura,
I thought the same thing about the water. So i've been downing it like it is going out of style. Usually I drink ALOT during the day, but we were out alot yesterday so maybe that is what started all of this. Im still crampy now but it is nothing like it was last night. I keep walking around the house, hoping something will start back up again. We'll see what happens.
I just had Carl bring me to Taco Bell a while ago, so maybe the hot sauce will help, ha-ha! I can't believe that im due so soon. The baby is measuring bigger ( i think it is head) so as far as the U/S goes, i'd be due tomorrow, haha! Funny.
