Dr checkup!

So my Dr checkup was ok..turns out I have been having contractions =/ So my Dr told me that if I get more than 5 in one hour to go to triage and get monitored/shots. The stress from my brother attempting suicide this weekend just pushed me over the edge I guess. I'm at risk for preterm labor =/ I have a scan in two weeks to measure/weigh the baby. I'm only 30 weeks so I'm kinda scared. The baby moved into the head down position too. I have some pressure/heaviness/light cramps and it isn't painful, but it's not comfortable. Every now and then my tummy will get super rock hard and hurt at the very very bottom, then it just stops after 20+ seconds. It has happened 5 times today so far. Now I gotta rest and stay hydrated. Bleh.

Thank you ladies, I'm trying to take it easy, its just hard lol. Yeah her head moving into place didn't feel good at all! And I'm not used to the new movements yet so it keeps scaring me lol.
Awww harribe, I'm sorry =/ yeah it does make it alot harder to stay calm..especially when its my very first best friend. It just hurt my heart so bad to see him like that. He finally woke up  and is now in rehab for a month. I just miss him already.
Ariel-ooooo my gosh, you're almost there! hopefully that Lil angel of yours will stay in just a little longer =)

Thank you all for the support. It's helped me so much!

Take it easy.! Try not to stress no much. I'm trying to keep my lil boy in for another week but just turned 36 weeks today and been having horrible Braxton Hicks today. But some are painful then others I'm on pills to stop my contractions and relax the uterus but it just seem like this stubborn lil boy don't wanna wait. Lol but next week I wouldn't mind any of it. So relax and drink lots of water.

Sending good thoughts your way. My brother attempted suicide when I was in my first trimester, it was awful for my whole family and I was worried about the stress going to my baby.. Its annoying how knowing you have to stay calm makes it impossible to relax!

I hope things improve for you xx

I.understand what you are going through. I'm 32w5d and 2cm dialated and also having contractions. Keep your head up and everything will be fine. You know what to do, stay hydrated, rest, eat right, and keep an eye on it. Let us know if anything changes. Good luck!
