Scary night! Not as rough as some of you have had it though. I salute you all!
I was laying down around 11p and started feeling weird. Mid back pain and pain across abdomen started. It was at the top of my uterus. It started getting INTENSE. I have recently started having BH and this was a million times worse.
I waited for a half hour before having my fiancé take me to ER.. They didn't stop. It was weird because the Pain was so high. I haven't got to practice coping skills for labor, but I tried to keep breathing steady, changing positions, etc. Poor fiancé assumes I know when something is serious with pregnancy... But I am an ORTHO/PEDIATRIC nurse! I was confused just like him.
Get to l & d triage.... Contractions 2 mins apart! Baby HR all okay. Urine and fibronectin came back negative. Finally contractions faded and I'm feeling normal. Have to stay at least another hour. If they don't come back I go home! Scared the shit out of me. I'm only 24w5d. Send me love please!!!

Going home! My uterus is sore from contracting.... Feel like I did an intense ab workout. Some back pain too. But they said the contractions stopped so I'm almost home.
That's so scary. Do you have a follow up with ob soon? Also, did they suggest any activity restrictions? I assume you work 12 hour shifts on your feet being a nurse, just wondering if they wanted you to take it easy for a bit. I'm so glad they stopped and your baby is still cooking.
