Had contractions today

I started getting them at around 1, and for about an hour I had them for almost every 5 mins.  DH got scared, and was about to drive me to the hospital. We were already on the freeway when I got a hold of the Ob nurse who then told me to just lie down on my side for an hour and drink 32 oz of water. The contractions went away for the most part, and I have only had two minor ones since then.  Feeling better now, but planning on staying in bed for the rest of the day.  When I called them back for a f/u the dr said it is normal, and it is just my body's way of preparing itself for the real thing.  So I guess I was having Braxton Hicks.  My poor DH I think was more stressed out than I was.  On top of that he was trying to fix a busted pipe, and it was leaking lots of water the whole time.  Poor guy.  At least I got to lie down with the a/c on.  Baby is active, too, so I am not as worried now.

  • OH!!! Those suck!!

    (I had so many BHs that I don't even bother telling DH about them anymore. Hope they don't bother you too much!)

    Get some rest!!

  • You poor thing. That sounds way stressful. I never got BH that bad. I hope you are able to take it easy as much as possible.
  • How stressful- i'm sorry :( Glad that you get to hang out with the A/C and just relax a bit though :) GL!

  • Drink some more water for me. I don't want Baby Sush to come out too early. Glad everything is alright.
  • I never had really bad BH, so I can't imagine the scare you had. Glad you're ok!
  • Thanks, ladies.  I just never saw DH freak out like that.  Drinking more water now...
  • I used to get them too when I was dehydrated or over active.  Rest, and drink tons and tons of water!  That was your body's way of reminding you to take it easy.
  • Scary! Glad everything settled down!!!
  • Yikes I'm sorry. I hope you get some much needed rest!
  • Ah BH are so much fun. I'm glad you and baby are ok. Get some rest!
