Woke up in the middle of the night

okashimochi · September 2013

To contractions? I'm not really sure because they feel like menstrual cramps along with pelvic pressure. They've been coming every 10-12 minutes. Baby is still kicking around in there, too. I'm about to call the dr's office as soon as I find the number.

T&P'S that is just BH!! Please keep us updated. Hugs!

SweetLaura286 · September 2013

Keep us posted... DEFINITELY call. At this stage they keep telling me to call them ASAP with anything rhythmic. Even every 15 mins apart.

Princess_Lily · September 2013

My ob says to call with any pattern cramping, even if its 8-10min apart.

Is it continuing?

Try drinking a big glass of water, and lie down on your left side. If they still don't subside after an hour, then I would say an L&D check would be in order - but I'm no OB.

Hope it is just BH and little one stays in there longer.

3Dewdrops · September 2013

T & Ps they are just BH. Not a good way to wake up! =(

I ended up having the baby on the bathroom floor at the dr's office. I don't think it's hit me quite yet. Baby is nice and pink. They have him in NICU. All before 10AM on a Monday morning.

okashimochi · September 2013

I'm still very much overwhelmed. My hooha is sore and I'm hungry

GopherBaby13 · September 2013

Was your doctor there when you delivered?

justMaike · September 2013

oh my goodness that's crazy..how is your Baby doing? Are you in the hospital getting taken care of? jeez I can't believe it. Everything right now must feel so surreal..

Well, Congratulations Mama :]

MsCrispy · September 2013

I'm having trouble believing that this isnt' a MUD. Scares the crap out of me that preterm labor can happen so fast.

If it isn't, congrats and I hope you and your baby are doing well.

Jojo714 · September 2013

Congrats on your new little one, and thoughts and prayers that little one is okay.

tjheld · September 2013

Good luck and T&P headed your way! Keep us posted!!

okashimochi · September 2013

Thank you guys so much! We're both doing well. The nurse said there's no stopping the baby when he decides to come out. Just foop! And he's out!

Mytaras · September 2013

What!?!? That is crazy! Congratulations and hoping you and baby are okay!

My thoughts exactly and then to log back on to update us on it so quickly?

If it is not MUD, Congrats and sending you and the LO lots of vibes.

okashimochi · September 2013

Baby is 4lb, 0oz. And 16 inches long. Born at 9:38. It went by much faster than I thought

LoiseMelibeth · September 2013

When were you do?? This is so shocking! Is this your first? Is LO okay? How are you? Sorry so many thoughts going through my mind!

Congrats!! And sorry I'm on mobile! Take care! God bless the little one! and keep is posted! :-SS

okashimochi · September 2013

Lol there was no time to freak out. After I called the office again at 8:30, I woke up DH, and we got there at 9. 9:30 the nurse calls us back and at that point, there was no break in the contractions. I thought I had to pee so I went to the bathroom, and my water broke. I laid down cause I couldn't move and after 3 pushes, baby was out. EMTs came and brought baby and me to the hospital by 10. I'm still taking it all in

ATXMamaDoll · September 2013

So you were by yourself when you delivered???? I can't believe what you went through! You seem like you are doing so well for someone that just went through this today (and now with a new baby).

okashimochi · September 2013

The bathroom was small so they kicked DH into the hallway. All the doctors and nurses say I'm handling everything really well. It makes me think there's something wrong with me lol.

Dreamingmommy4 · September 2013

Holy crap! Glad you and LO are ok! And bravo for handling everything so well. Keep us posted on how you two are doing and congratulations!

gdom872 · September 2013

Um holy shit! Congrats but I am literally dumbfounded!!

Ari3l21 · September 2013

Congrats hope baby doing well! How many week were you?

okashimochi · September 2013

I was 32 weeks, would've been 33 on Wednesday. People have been by all day so it's nice to have it quiet. Nothing was prepared. No hospital bag, we were still looking at pediatricians, nursery isn't done. No name yet, either but probably Connor. I think I was more afraid than thinking about the pain. During the contractions he kept moving around, so when I wanted to push, I had no idea if his head was down or not. I started crying because the doctor who was helping me wasn't my doctor and she didn't want me to push until she got my pants off. DH had no idea what was going on. They stuck him in the hallway and couldn't see a thing. He started crying when he heard the baby cry out. After I passed the placenta, all I could think about was food. Food and baby.
This whole day was insane. Oddest Monday morning ever. Perfectly odd

mskatiep · September 2013

Congrats one your new baby! I'm sure that was intense! I'm so glad your little one is doing well!

This happens more than people think it does, especially when nurses underestimate how much pain or how close a mom's contractions are. At work the nurse's call them "drive byes" when a mom walks in and delivers.

J&JJ2011 · September 2013

Congrats! Glad to hear you and the LO are doing well : )

PongoLePond · September 2013

I'm gonna have to join the MUD club. I MIGHT have believed you but all you could think about after having a premie was food? There's just too much wrong with this story for it to be real. At least, I hope this is MUD.
