I’m going to be 34 weeks pregnant on saturday.
Tuesday night i woke up at around 1 am with really bad cramping and i was having a contraction that lasted for about 20 min, after that i fell back asleep.
Wednesday When i woke up i had breakfast and half of a 46 oz bottle of water and then another 16 oz. Then at 11am i had to go to wal-mart to go shopping with my mother in law, and as soon as i stood up i had a lot of pressure down there,and every time i walk my stomach would get really tight and hurt really bad,there kinda like period cramps but worse.
So when i got home i talked to the nurse and she told me to drink another 16oz of water and lay on my left side until i have to leave for my ob/gyn appointment at 4pm.
Well, the pain never stopped i wrote down each time i got a contraction and they were 20 min long and 12 min apart before i got to the doctors office.
At 3pm i was at my ob/gyn’s office and they took me in asap, they checked my cervix which is softer then normal is what the midwife said,but my cervix is closed. They put me on this machine that tells when i’m having a contraction and what the baby’s heartbeat is. They kept me on that for about 30 min,then they sent me to the hospital.
I got to the hospital at 4:30pm and they had me change into a gown,pee in a cup, and lay on the bed, asked me some questions, then they hooked me up to that machine again and gave me a cup of water. I was having pretty strong contractions. At about almost 6 o’clock the ob/gyn came in and looked at the baby’s heartbeat which was rangeing from 147-160,and all she said was baby sounds good. she didn’t even talk about the contractions and she could tell i was in pain,but she claims it’s from dehydration, but i don’t understand how it could be from that, i drink water as much as i can, you never see me with a water bottle in my hand unless i can’t take it to someplace.
I still have the pain all night and right now,their not as bad, but they still hurt.
My next ob/gyn appointment is Oct 29 and i’ll be almost 36 weeks along then.
But i talked to my mom and my sister, they both have kids,and they told me that they should have done more then what they did.
I just wanted to know if anyone has experianced this before in their pregnancy? and did anything help at all?
