*longish post* So Sunday was a pretty chill day. I stayed home then later went to my moms house with my kids. Later I came home with my daughter (my son wanted to sleep at my moms which is fine with me since I’m 31 weeks pregnant and she’s my neighbor so getting him to go to school the next day isn’t a problem) and I cleaned the house, bathed my daughter, and made dinner.

Well later on it was about 12am I started feeling exhausted and had some pains that felt like contractions. Mind you my contractions have always been pressure not cramps. I brushed them off at first then decided to time them.

THEY WE 3 MINUTES APART LASTING A MINUTE FOR AN HOUR 🙃

So I sat up and decided to call the on call OB. She suggested I go in to get checked. My hospital is about 10-15 minutes away so not too bad. I just decided to drink a little bit of water and eat a banana and see if it helps🤷🏻‍♀️

It didn’t. The banana made the contractions WORSE. I couldn’t even finish it.

So 3:30am rolls around and I’m still having contractions. I wake up my husband and tell him I have to go into the hospital to get checked. My biggest worry was going into real labor. I had an Ob appt that morning at 10am and was trying to wait it out till then but decided not to. My husband stayed with our daughter who was sleeping and I went in by myself.

I get to the hospital and the nurses are looking at me like I’m full of shit.

Like if I haven’t had 2 kids before 🙃 well after an hour they see my contractions on the monitor and are checking on baby. They determined I was dehydrated and had an infection which was probably the cause of me almost going into preterm labor. They put me on an IV and gave me medicine to stop my contractions then after being there FOREVER I was able to go home (thank god!)

Soooo FUN

So moral of the story guy DRINK LOTS OF WATER! I literally barley drank anything Sunday Because I forgot and that was stupid 🙃
