Been in hospital over night, really down in the dumps...
Hi ladies,
just been through a really scary and upsetting 24 hours and need to off load as poor hubby doesn't need it....
I'm 27 weeks today and not had the best of pregnancies, last night a got a tight burning sensation at the top of my bump which I thought was heartburn, very quickly it got a lot worse and spread across the top of my bump, peanut is a little bugger sometimes and gets wedged in spots so I thought it was him, I got a hot water bottle and laid down with it on the spot, he was there and moved but the pain then intensified and really kicked in, it spread around into my back and I started to struggle to catch my breath and couldn't sit, stand or lie down. From the first twinge to 45 minutues later I was doubled in pain in the bathroom unable to do anything but cry in pain, it absolutley terrified me, I have never experienced anything like it.
My poor hubby didn't know what to do and really started to panic and wanted to call an ambulance as he had never seen me like it, even in labour with our daughter. We only live a 6 minute drive so I said it would be quicker to drive, threw some clothes off, got our neighbour over to take care of chloe and raced off....
The hospital were fantastic they didn't fob me off or make me feel I was over reacting they took me right in and said they wouldn't take any chances and gave me a shot of steroids to help mature his lungs and admitted me. They said it was either pre term contractions or where I've had a bit of an upset tummy they thought my large bowel had gone into spasm also causing my uterus to go into spasm, it was waves of pain that built up and then went down, like contractions but not, so weird...
Now I'm all for teaching hospitals but I have to say by the third attempt to find my cervix and then nearly putting her finger through it (even the registrar shouted at her saying your gonna end up giving her a sweep and putting her into full blown labour) I had had enough, but held it together...
Then all of a sudden after a really bad 20 minutes it just stopped...all in all it lasted 5 hours... I finally got to sleep about 5am to be got up at 6.30am to start tests...
So after a day today with many blood tests another steriods shot and no more contractions I have finally been allowed home...
The jury is still out on whether it was contractions or bowel and uterus spasms but the blood tests found some issues with my liver which they are following up this week so I'm back weds and thurs...
I have crawled under my duvet, eaten a mars bar and had a good cry...
keep your fingers crossed for me that it doesn't hapen again...
I have had a stern talking to my son but I don't think he really listened...boys!!!
thanks for reading I feel better for getting it out....
roll on May 12th

Big hugs.
After spending yesterday hiding under my duvet with lots of choccy and having a good sob I'm feeling lots better...
I feel better now I've had a few days with nothing happening and feeling more confident that my little monkey is gonna stay in there for a good while yet....
Got blood tests tomorrow for my liver and then an MOT on friday with my midwife...
Jess I can't believe your 15 weeks now...
I did tell the midwife on monday with the awful pregnancy I've had he is gonna be in the naughty corner from the day he's born until he's around 4!!!!!
thanks again for your support girls...
