This could have been a birth announcement

Happy new years to all of you. I guess my son figured since it was 2015 he could come whenever. Haha. At 33w+3d after 2 days of menstrual - type pain (no bleeding, spotting, loss of mucous plug, or etc) I finally gave in and called my doctor after hours. She said it could be pre-term labour, dehydration, an infection, or nothing. After trying to hydrate and that being unsuccessful I went into L&D.

I thought they would just give me an IV and send me home; BUT apparently I was in labour; active at 7 minutes apart and strong contractions. They gave me several successive doses of a medication call terbutaline which made my heart pound out of my ears. Because my heart was racing, his heart was all over the place too. I wanted to cry just seeing it. My baby was hurting because in wanted to stay home so I wouldn't be the pregnant woman who cried wolf. In the end I'm glad my husband took me to the hospital.

TL;DR: Labour is very different for everyone. It may not hurt or be all set dramatic all so you think. If it feels weird or different: GO TO THE HOSPITAL. We are all so close.

    Thank you, they managed to stop the labour. I'm home now wishing I could nest. Last night was a huge wake up call!

    Glad to hear you're okay and they were able to stop labor. I feel like I'm so much more in tune with everything my body is doing these days, I'm on high alert for labor signs!

    Ugh see this post makes me think twice because I've been having menstrual like cramps but no other signs. My mom and sister told me it was normal. I think I'll call my doc now! Glad you were able to stop labor. Keep that baby cooking a little bit longer!

    I pretty much had the same thing happen and didn't want to go in because I didn't want to embarrass myself if I wasn't in labor. But i did and was. It was a huge wake up call as you said. I'm glad they were able to stop labor
