Two nights this week, I've been woken up to the most painful contractions. The pain is in my lower abdomen, lower back, and upper thighs. It's REALLY painful. Lol.. I'm a FTM, so this is new to me.. but anyway, my doctor told me that since they've only happened twice, to rest, not lift anything, keep my feet up, and drink lots of water. And if they become more persistent/frequent, to go to the ER. I prayed to get pregnant for almost 10 years, and now I'm just praying to keep this munchkin in for a few more months... has this happened to anyone else? If so, what happened?
