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. :(

    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.
