Wondering about pain, or am I crazy?

[alamommyof3]

Ok, this is my 3rd child, but I never went through this with the other two. I have been having pains about every hour, so I called the doctor and he said, stay off my feet, no heavy lifting. Well I have a 2 year old, who is ALWAYS getting hurt. And ofcourse I have to go to the store, clean house, cook, all the things a wife and mother do. But today I went to walmart with my cousin to get groceries, so someone was with me. Wasnt in there too long. But I started having pains about every 8 minutes. I had to go pay for my items and go to the car to sit down. Well since Ive been home Ive been having the same pains every 12 to 15 minutes. Im just now sitting for more then 10 minutes at a time. But should I be worried or what? Before I went to the store I was having pains that were different then in the store and now. I am 23 weeks and 5 days. What do I do?

Happens to me, too. You can use a power wheelchair while at the store to help. Those floors at Walmart are INSANE and awful on your belly and back.

You should definitely call and see what will work in making sure it's just Braxton Hicks.

Call your doctor and let them know.

In the mean time, lie on your left side and drink lots of water.  Your doctor gave you orders for a reason and its very important that you follow them from this point on.  You dont want to go into preterm labor or be stuck in the hospital for the remainder of your pregnancy.  Do you have a support network to help you out?  A husband is also capable of going to the store, cleaning, and cooking.............
