They said I was having Braxton Hicks contractions due to stress :/
I'm on Bed rest for a few days, and They said to avoid stress, which means no business law class for me tonight, nor am I going to work until Thursday.
I fear losing this baby more than anything, my entire family has had issues with conceiving and carrying a full term baby, it scares me to the point of avoiding the discussion of names, and nesting. Is that awful and selfish of me? My husband continues to be supportive, and encourage me to get prepared for our little precious. But it would kill me to have a beautiful room, all decorated in yellows and greens, with the drawers stocked, and there be no baby..
I know, GOD willing, this child will be fine. But the thought that something could happen is always in the back of my mind.
Please pray
I know I'm over reacting, Braxton hicks is something that happens to many women, but I worry still. I just have to learn to settle down as my pregnancy goes on. I've been doing a lot. We're in the middle of moving, and getting things out of storage, I have class, and a job, and I have to let go a bit and just let the ones trying to help me, help.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure things will be fine, but when anyone tells you something is wrong, as minor as it is, it's bound to strike up some emotion.

ReplyDeleteI would be just as worried/scared as you if I had to go to the emergency room while pregnant. You definitly need to relax, and make sure youre drinking plenty of water. I would have actually thought it would have been more dehydration that would have caused them than stress, but do what your dr. says, and relax.
Life will not end if you dont go to work for a few days, miss a class, or dont help with moving. And again, drink your water, and get rest!
