Has anyone ever experienced the feeling of Braxton hicks but constantly? Ugh. My stomach has literally been tight ALL day, and it doesn't really ease up much. I don't think they are contractions... but seriously, it's to the point where I'm miserable. I have only been experiencing period like cramping and back aches... but they are bad. I don't know what to do. The last time I went into L&D; even with CONSISTENT contractions and pain like that, I was sent home because I wasn't progressing and I was only at 1cm, 38 weeks 5 days. They gave me a shot of Demerol and sent me home, I woke up feeling horrible the next day because of it. I'm super frustrated because I know if I'm not in "labor" they are just going to send me home again... I don't want to keep going in only to be sent home. But I am in so much pain, I don't know what else to do.... I will be 40 weeks Saturday.
