Update on right side pain: it was contractions!

kirygrl · May 2013

I wrote on here yesterday that stretching helped the pain...well the pain got worse all day until it didn't work anymore and I was hardly able to move during the pains. I called my ob and she told me to go to the hospital just to get it checked out. They put me on a monitor and I was having moderate contractions 2-3 mins apart! I feel stupid I didn't know they were contractions! I stayed there for 6 hours until they got them to stop. First they tried an iv but then gave me two shots of the drugs. When they released they were still 5-6 mins apart but hardly noticeable (I only know that I was still really having them bc the nurses told me)

Trying to hydrate constantly and rest this weekend. So afraid that they will come back! Anyone else had this type of thing before?

Wow. As a FTM, that is one of my concerns... Not knowing what contractions feel like. Luckily all is ok! Good luck.

I guess I know now... For me it was a pain in my abdomen and the top feels very hard...I am having some again so I am lying on my left side like they told me too...I am 32 weeks and one day so hope they will stop on their own
