Last night getting into a friend's truck I suddenly felt like someone had stabbed me with a burning hot knife in my abdomen, near my belly button. I called L&D, because this was in a different place from my round ligament pains and about 10X more intense. They advised me to lay down, relax and take a tylenol, because it sounded like I had pulled or torn an abdominal muscle. Great.
I slept fine last night and thought it was better. Oh boy was I wrong. Any time I move I feel this same intense pain over again. I called my OB's office, not because I feared there was anything wrong with LO (lots of movement still, with no change in discharge), but because it really freaking hurts and I have work tomorrow. The OB on duty basically asked about LO and said, "OK then, well it sounds like because you are 38 weeks tomorrow you are just getting antsy, you can come in to be monitored if you want, but I think baby is fine."
Well duh hes fine, I am not worried about him, I'm worried about me. I wanted to know if there was anything I can do beyond what I am already doing to make myself feel better, because honestly if this burns with my BH, I can't imagine what REAL labor will be like. Ugh, I hope I feel better by tomorrow, but if not I might not be able to work until labor like I anticipated. Clearly I just needed to rant a bit.
