33 week scare!

Karen

I currently work full time and have a crazy commute. So on my way home Monday afternoon, I didn't feel good. I felt the need to throw up and when I tried it was all acid. I had a doctors appt shortly after my episode but I felt a sense of relief. I went home for a little bit to get ready for my hospital tour with my husband and still felt a little off. I'm like, okay.. maybe I need to go #2. I tried and still felt off..

On the hospital tour I felt uncomfortable, keep in mind it's 8pm at this point. I couldn't stand comfortably, I wasn't thirsty? I didn't need to poop? So we went home and got ready for bed. Both my husband and I work really early so I didn't think much of it.

I tried to get ready but still had weird back and chest pain. I'm like fine, 30 more minutes and I'll explain my symptoms to the on call doctor! It's effin 11;30pm and I'm dying. So I wake my husband up and were right back at the hospital that we just toured (😂).

They hook me up to check if I'm having contractions and WHAT DO YOU KNOW! I was having contractions this entire time!!! But because it's my first pregnancy and the "odd" feeling was so new, I couldn't distinguish it. They gave me 2 shots of Terbutaline to make them stop. It took a while until they did but sh*t they were painful.

The doctor said he would've delivered baby girl but I'm too early (33+2). But if I were at least 36-37 weeks I would've met her :,)

Moral of the story: if you feel like something is off, it's always best to call your doctor!
