Having to call off work

I've had to leave/call off work for the last 2 weeks because of severe pain in my abdomen. I can't sleep at night because RLS, and the pain in my stomach. My doctor said the pain is normal as long as I'm getting no more than 6 "contractions" an hour. I've lost my mucus plug already but I'm not dilated. I'm 30 weeks tomorrow. I don't know what to do. :(

Re: Having to call off work

  • Get off the internet and call your doctor!
    Also your mucus plus regenerates so don't dwell on that too much.

  • If you are uncomfortable with the advice your dr has given you and you are in enough pain, maybe taking a trip to the ER and seeing if they will monitor your braxton hicks to ensure they aren't real contractions?
    I agree with PP, don't worry about your mucous plug. It is lost in chunks throughout pregnancy and grows back as needed.
  • I have talked to my doctor... I went in and be verified that they aren't real contractions. I'm just in a lot of pain.
