well i don't know how many of you read my post from last night but....my kids went to my SIL for the night to give me a little break and then my sister is coming tomorrow to spend the week here to help with the kids and the house work (she lives 1 1/2 hours away). so tonight i'm here by myself while my hubbies at work and i'm still having contractions and really bad back pain. my whole body feel sore and i feel sick at my stomach. now tomorrow i get to go back to the stupid hospital for another freakin' nonstress test so i hope that same idiot nurse isn't the one working. maybe this time they will actually do the internal monitor so that they can pick up the contractions this time. i just wish someone would do something....i feel horrible and i'm scared that i'm going to end up having this baby 12 weeks early because no one is doing anything to stop these contractions....i mean they didn't even put me on bed rest or restrict my activities...it was my husband and family that said i wasn't aloud to do anything because this was getting rediculous!
i know there's not really a question here but i'm all alone right now and just really need somebody to talk to about all of this. ↓

Hey! Are you ok? You sound really stressed out. I am on at the moment and am here if you need to talk. I do hope that you have a diff person looking after you at the hospital this time around. You could request for certain tests to be done, you are entitled to that, its patient satisfaction and its important you feel well looked after. I asked for tests to be done at my hospital during my pregnancy and they did them for peace of mind. Its nice you have a bit of time to yourself but feeling stressed and upset is not good for you or the baby. Have you thought about having a nice long shower or soemthing to just try and relax you? ↑

How bad are the contractions? If you are really worried i would go to the hospital earlier. Its for your peace of mind. I work at a maternity hospital and we have people coming in all the time just to get checked. Its so worth it. If you are worried thats enough to take action. Your poor thing, its not nice when you feel in the dark about whats going on in your own body. ↑

plus i told them to use the internal monitor last time and they acted like i was stupid. thats why i'm hoping it's a different woman this time so that maybe i'll have more luck. ↑

um they are pretty strong (brought me to tears earlier and i have a pretty high pain tolerance) but they aren't coming very close together or regular or anything ↑

hmm its a tough one. I know the docs can be really hard to deal with at times...with my daughter she is 3 weeks this coming monday i ws given 3 due dates 12th may, 17th may and 24th of may...when i went over the first 2 dates the doc i saw (through public you have a diff one here each time) she said to me she would wait 2 weeks after the 24th ebfore they would indcue me...on the 27th May i went to the hospital not feeling right having contractions but nothing regular they checked me and i was 5cm dialated sot ehy induced me the next day...when Olivia came out she was 8 pound 2 and the doc and midwife that were in the room said judging by her dry skin and very redish colour she was about 2 weeks overdue. I knew myself she was overdue and had they waited another 2 weeks i may not have her here with me..becasue if i hadnt gone into labour by myself within those 2 weeks the placenta would of gone crap etc...
thats why i pushed to be checked and have a monitor on. Lucky i new the midwifes on the birth ward as i work there...but i new myself my body was trying to get started.
Point being you know your body better then anyone so if you feel worried, uncomfortable or unsure..push for the care you want..even if they thnk you are being silly..dont worry about them...do what you think is right! ↑
