Rest up!!!

con07s · May 2014

Hey ladies... Yesterday I went in for my 24 week appointment and doctor informed me I was having contractions. I had no idea that's what it was! I had three within just laying there for 20 minutes, they sent me to the hospital for monitoring. Contractions continued and so then they did a vag ultrasound to check my cervix. Everything was good with my cervix. Turns out being on my feet working 65+ hours a week and not staying hydrated was more dangerous than I thought. Heads up to get plenty of rest and listen to your bodies! I didn't and ended up having a little scare yesterday.

I hope you are feeling better!

Wow..so you didn't feel them at all? I'm pretty bad about staying hydrated.

Glad everything looked okay with your cervix.

Wow so glad you caught that before it got worse! Rest well

Thanks ladies! I felt my stomach tightening and a couple sharp pains. But now I know

I didn't know contractions could happen this early.

good thing you were at your doctors when it happened! I'm worried about this myself because i work a lot on my feet and have had sharp pains. I don't know what contractions feel like so I'm afraid I'll have them and not know about it

Eek! That's scary. The good news is that you were at the right place/ right time. I hope you rest up and hydrate this weekend!

I was in the hospital yesterday for dehydration too! Glad you're doing better! Drink up those fluids girl!

Glad everything turned out okay. This is a good reminder for me to make sure I rest and take breaks more frequently while drinking more water!

It is good to hear that you are doing much better but this is truly a wake up call for us working mom's to slow down and hydrate

Currently on night 7 of 12 midnight shifts in a row...guess I'd better at least up my water intake.

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

Oh goodness I'm so glad your doctor caught it.

I've been feeling dehydrated and get pruned fingers I always drink a lot it just never seems enough, my husband is starting to nag me about resting more though. It's harder to remember on busy days at work, at least I have a desk job you ladies on your feet must be exhausted

I've had such a dramatic change in the last month. I could be on my feet a lot longer and not get sore but now after 5 hours of standing I notice my feet get sore then back follows... I will be taking more breaks and my husband has been a major help around home too

thank goodness. By the time I get home I need to sit! I hope everyone gets enough rest and water... It isn't anything to mess around with and it can happen when your not expecting it. I'm lucky my doctor caught it!!! Now I have the fun part of tracking my contractions every hour... I also will be going to the doc every two weeks now instead of the monthly visits. Rest up mommas and happy Mother's Day
