I thought I was going to die...

At 33 weeks I'm so ready for my boy to be here. I'm ready for cuddle time and to know that he is ok when he doesn't move some days. Well last night I found out how ready I really was. I just ate dinner and settled in to watch Netflix with the hubby. I was feeling a little off and I've been having these back spasms that pulse in my lower back then move up my spine into my head. Last Friday I found out DS is sideways so I figured he's probably hit a nerve or something. I fell asleep and my husband woke me up to get in bed. He went to his office to check his email (he works from home) and I went to brush my teeth. I could barely walk to the bathroom. It felt as if I had a bowling ball between my legs. Made it there and this huge wave of nausea hit me and my stomach started cramping up. **TMI** I couldn't tell if I needed to puke or to go number 2. Constipation has been prevalent through most of my pregnancy and I guess I forgot what it feels like lol The cramps were intense and my back hurt so bad. I sat on the toilet and faced the bath tub in case I puked. For ten minutes this went on without me doing anything but belching. All the while DS was kicking. Sweat was rolling off my face and I turned the cold water on in the bath and splashed some on me. I just read the other day about how some women get incredibly sick before going into labor. I cried out "If this is it God I'm not ready. I'm not ready to have this baby." My stomach started rumbling and I think everything that has been in my stomach since I've found out I was pregnant came out. I thought this must be stomach bug. I took a cool shower to help relieve my back. I was in there for about 5 min before it started all over again. The pain was so gut wrenching I thought I was dying. Needless to say, I didn't go into labor or die lol But it really put things into perspective. I'm a FTM and I don't even know what a contraction feels like or what to expect. I've decided to quit saying I'm ready to have this baby until the need to have it surpasses the fear of pain!

Any other FTM feeling a little panicked or like they dont' know what to expect?

    That's awful! I'm so sorry! I definitely don't know what to expect. What's funny is I'm not nervous about being in pain, I'm nervous about getting half way (or almost completely through) and feeling like I can't do it anymore. I'm not sure what I will do then. Fortunately I have an AWESOME midwife and Doula who will be with me and the best husband on the planet for support!

    Yes! I don't think I have ever been so sick and reading that stupid article psyched me out or something lol

     babyadams8611 I plan on having an epidural because I don't deal with pain well (obviously). My husband has already told me he will be waiting outside. He has a very weak stomach and can't even watch when they give me an iv lol I bet you will be so amped up by your team and plus all of the adrenaline, you will do just fine :)

    I was just talking to my OB about labor. She said that I have to be prepared for it to be the worse pain I'll ever be in. I won't lie that brought tears to my eyes just thinking about it.
