Ended up in the hospital this morning with small contractions. Felt like heartburn all over my tummy and into the back. It's too early!!

So to back up... tried a hot shower, tums, and cereal to see if any of those solved the problem before calling the on-call dr. No such luck. He said to come in.

They put me on a monitor and sure enough contractions. Not Braxton Hicks. They also called it, "an irritated uterus." Ugh. They checked the cervix-closed. Good. Gave me a smooth muscle relaxer Rx which luckily stopped the contractions.

Now I'm home, drinking lots of water. They weren't sure why that happened but suggested even more water than I was already drinking. Tummy still feel agitated but not so bad.

Anyone else have this? I'm a teacher and starting work tomorrow. Ugh. Figures. Not looking forward to it but will take it as easy as possible. I see my OB in a couple of days. I hope things are back to normal by then. 🤞
