It has been a hard weekend. I was doing okay in the past couple weeks and then this week came! Friday I really started having alot more cramping and contractions. They really started to get bothersome. I didn't want to go into the hospital since I had just been to an appointment the day before. And of course it is the weekend (and a holdiay weekend) so the office is closed. I am trying to be a "big girl" and stay out of the office between weekly visits. It is just so hard to ignore the ever increasing discomforts and contractions. I just don't see how I will be contracting this much already and our little baby will stay in. Please pray for us.
The docs feel like the contractions are nothing more than an annoyance at this point since my cervix looks good. I just get concerned when they start ramping up because I don't have a way of knowing if I am in preterm labor when I am contracting all the time anyway. I was just really hoping that the shots they are giving me weekly to "keep my uterus from contracting" were going to keep me from noticing any contractions. I guess I am disappointed to find that I am having all the same symptoms with this pregnancy that I had with Oscar. I really wanted this one to go totally different and better.
So, on an upnote, this has been going on all weekend but hasn't gotten any worse. So I will have to decide on Tuesday morning if I can make it to my Friday appointment without stressing or if I will have to go in for peace of mind before then.
The resting isn't helping anymore either. I am having many more contractions now all day, even while resting. Please pray that I can get a break from the belly discomforts. We really want this baby to make it.
