On Wednesday night I started to have some pain that I thought was REALLY bad gas and constipation. I was up all night with pain. I could not sleep. I would go the the bathroom to try to relieve myself to try and feel better and nothing. I would walk around my house to try to relieve myself and nothing. I would massage my tummy and nothing. All night I was in so much pain. So on Thursday morning I called the doctor and explained and they told me to take some Tums, Gas-X or Ducolox(sp) which is a stool softer and that that would maybe help. I did as told and Dh and I left to his cousin’s funeral and all during that time I was in pain. Around 4 p.m. still no relief. It hurt to be in bed, it hurt to sit, it hurt to walk. I just thought I had REALLY bad pain. So I call my doctor again and they said that they could not see me until the next day or that I could just go to emergency. So DH takes me to emergency and they put me on they machine and as soon as they do they tell me I am having contractions! 
I was crying I was so scared! They put the heart monitor on me to check the baby and we did hear his heartbeat. They gave me lots of water to hydrate me and they also gave me some medication called Nifedipine to stop the contractions. Then four hours passed and my contractions were not stopping so they told DH that they were going to have to keep me to observe me and keep giving me the medication every 6 hours and they also put me on an IV. Well, DH goes home and I stay the the hospital. The next morning, they doctor comes in a does a pelvic exam to check and see if the baby is determined to arrive within the next 2 weeks. Well, the test came back negative which means that there is a 1% chance the baby will come in 2 weeks. They sent me home with more of the Nifedipine and told me that if I get more contrations, to take 1 pill and that if I start to have 6 or more contractions in 1 hour to call the doctor because I will have to go to the hospital again. They told me to be in bed as much as possible and drinks lots and lots of water, not to lift anything more than 10 pounds and to do only light housework. So here I am in bed right now. My tummy is really tender and I have to walk really slow because it hurts. This morning I was feeling really good and then all of a sudden I started to feel weak for some reason. So I don’t know why this is happening to me since my prengnancy with my daughter had no complications. Please just pray for my body to withstand and for the baby to be healthy and to term. Being in bed is no fun but I know I must do it for the safety of my baby. Thanks for your support.
