T&P's Needed

le sigh...

So I've been having Braxton Hicks contractions since yesterday morning pretty much after I got out of the house from the MIL debacle.

They have not gone away.  I've finally been feeling good these past couple of days so I've been taking in as much water as possible so I ruled out dehydration.

But at 17 weeks I should not be having them and as much as I'm having them.

My doc of course doesn't work on Wednesday's but her nurse called back and was very concerned with all of the stress I'm under and highly recommended MIL go stay somewhere else...

She wants me to drink even more water and rest and if in the morning they are still there I need to go in and she really doesn't want me making the 3 hour drive to MS tomorrow.

The funeral isn't until Friday so it wouldn't be a huge deal but still.

I had to finally text H since they were on their way there and he said as soon as he made the arrangements he was driving back to be with me and he would follow me up there tomorrow or go to the doc with me.

I haven't told him that his mom is the main cause of all of this stress but just told him stress and that it started yesterday morning.  This is just a mess because I'm stressing over him stressing and stressing he's not there among all of the other stress.

So T&P's would be good to hopefully help me through the night that they stop and stop for good.

Thanks and sorry so long!

Re: T&P's Needed

  • oh no :( if possible, try and take a hot bath and relax a bit...i know it's hard, now you're stressing over your MIL and everything but also stressing about the BH. hopefully they calm down overnight and it's good the nurse at the dr's office is aware. you and baby will be in my t&p! jfyi, i thought i might have had braxton hicks at 16 weeks (i might have had only one or two) and everything was just fine with the rest of my pregnancy.

  • Oh my.  T&P your way.  Try to take it easy as much as possible.  I know it's hard w/ a one year old - I've been there.  And you need to talk to your H about what's causing the stress.  If anything maybe he can relate a little and maybe understand where you are coming from and you guys can work together.

    I agree with this. It's nice of you to not want to bring it up with your H to not fight, but it's now at the point where it could be damaging to you and your baby's health. 

    Sending thoughts & good vibes your way!!

  • Thanks everyone!

    I am just trying to find the nicest way possible to say that it's his mom haha...and besides the crossing boundaries and not listening to how we want things done I'm walking on egg shells in my house because every look or sentance that comes out of our mouth she takes offense too (this was like this before FIL passed)  I just can't handle it all.

    Hopefully he brings it up and just asks but otherwise I'm going to have to give all the reasons for stress ...

  • Sending lots of T & P your way.  I agree with everyone else - I hope you do bring up the real reason for your stress with your H.  It's not just about his feelings, especially now.
