How to Handle Braxton Hicks and Pregnancy Concerns?
Just woke up. I'm still cramping up and had a couple more braxton hicks contractions. They gave me the steroid shot in my butt 😢 it still hurts and I have to get the other half tomorrow morning in the other cheek but if the shots will help Sophia survive if she comes early, I'll live.
She has been kicking around so that's a good sign and the only reason I'd go back to the hospital before I have to is if something bad happens (God forbid). I 100% suggest that I'd you feel weird or different in anyway about the pregnancy like different pains or contractions go to a doctor/ hospital asap. My 2 pregnancies are turning out to be completely different from each other. I pray she stays in for at least another 10 weeks cause then I'll be 36 weeks but. I'm scared and worried I did something to mess up this pregnancy.

@kvanpage21, menstrual cramps. at first I thought it was constipation cramping but I had already passed so it was that and then I had pressure in my pelvic area and I feel like I have to constantly go pee even if I just went. The test they did said the the fluid between my amniotic sack and my uterus was leaking through my cervix.

I was just feeling like this an hour ago minus the frequent urination but it seems to have lightened up

I'm surprised since they said your leaking, one would think they would have you stay there

@kvanpage21, they check my cervix in depth with a trans-vaginal ultrasound and said it 4cm thick and shut.
@kisha no cause I'm only having braxton hicks contractions and they weren't even showing on the monitor but I'm call my doctor and see if there is anyway I can get an appointment set up for this week. I don't want to wait for Monday.

Ugh I've been feeling like this 100% I constantly feel like I have terrible period cramps, I know my baby is already head down because of my 4D ultrasound last week, and my back was hurting so I asked my boyfriend to massage the part that hurt and it made my cramps hurt worse... I have a doctor appointment Tuesday I'll have to bring this up for sure
