Ugh today sucked

So today at work my stomach started cramping and aching, suddenly enough to make me gasp and grab my belly. My coworkers were concerned but when I described the feeling told me it was likely Braxton-Hicks (I've never felt them before, but I've been on the lookout). So I go on working and trying to ignore it but then my back and chest started aching as well. At this point I'm still sure it's no big deal, but everyone starts telling me to be concerned and maybe call my doctor or whatever. My grandmother came by work and wanted to take me to the hospital. I kept trying to tell everyone I was fine but they still started freaking me out! Then my manager came in and started complaining about me, and then just sent me home. 

It was basically a sucky day with my prick of a boss and coworkers making me anxious that something was wrong. I just wanted to vent I guess.

Are you doing alright now? It sounds like your coworkers were kindly concerned for you and looking out for you and baby. Pregnancy is mysterious to most people so they just know it can be a fragile time... Seems like you are in tune with your body and that your coworkers care about you !

I'm glad nothing was wrong. But I have to admit, I would have been one of those coworkers. Probably trying to drag you to the hospital by myself if I had to lol.

Hope tomorrow is more comfortable for you!

Lol I do appreciate the concern, don't get me wrong. It's just that these are the same coworkers who say things like "oh you're sick, I *never* got sick!" and "You'll probably have to go on bedrest!" and things like that.
