in-n-out of the hospital...

Im not having the joys of being pregnant w/ this pregnancy. Ive been blessed cause my life can be much worse or difficult, so i shouldnt complain.... but I am!!! I am only 34 weeks and i went into the hospital to get checked out for "prelabor" directed from my doctor. 2 days ago i had contractions ALL day about every 4-6 minutes apart. I called labor and delivery Sunday afternoon and they told me to drink lots of fluids and take a bath. It seemed to help a little so i choose not to go in. Monday was fine... Today (tuesday) I contracted a little but then i got a bad stomach pain in my tummy. After a few hours of the pain-not going away at all- i called my doctor to see if he wanted to see me. he said go straight to the labor and delivery. so i did...after getting checked and sitting in there for 3 hours + the results are that it seems that I have a kidney stone. :( and that means it can cause the contractions to get worse. about the Baby coming... i look to be OK in that department-so far! thank goodness because 1: im not ready, mentally or physically 2: because it is way too early- the baby needs to continue to grow, develop, and be fully healthy. and 3: if i were to have the baby soon... my mom is going to be out of town and wouldnt be here w/ me and i would need here w/ me :) (Selfish me i know) Like i said it could be TONS worse. I just pray that I will be able to survive the next 6 weeks w/ all the tummy pains plus the uncomfortableness of being prego. I know im a complainer! sorry!!!!

Complain all you want. that sounds unpleasant. Hang in there.

You have earned the right to complain! You need to rest as much as you can and keep that baby cooking! Keep us posted! Miss you!

Doesn't sound like fun. I hope it all goes ok and that your mom can be there when you need her.

Oh hon I am so sorry! I had tons of kidney problems when I was pregnant with Rylee and they had to put a kidney stint in...that was even more uncomfortable but helped my kidney to drain properly. I highly doubt they could do that with you since you are so close to delivery. I feel soooo bad though! Nothing worse than a kidney stone!!! Seriously, even labor...kidney stones hurt worse than labor in my opinion!!!

I hope you can make it to 36 weeks! For me, that's when I breathe a sigh of relief.

That's terrible about the kidney stone!
