I know don't get time to post too often, but here goes. I'm 31 weeks pregnant. On Tuesday I was experiencing some tummy pain, on my right side and the middle of my stomach. I kept telling myself it was gas. So I had 3 BM's that evening and still didn't feel well. Even vomitted a few times. Nothing seemed to help. So I kept pacing my house thinking the gas pains would go away. Well it would calm down then flare up again. Finally about midnight I called my OB clinic's on call. She said to go to my local ER and get checked out. I still kept thinking it's just gas pains why go to the ER and waste prescious sleeping time and money. Well by this time I couldn't lay down or sit down. So I finally decided to go just to make sure things were alright. Well my local ER couldn't figure out what the right side pain was, they thought maybe round ligiment pains. But I was having contractions 2-3 minutes apart. That was my Gas pains! LOL!! They gave me shots for the contractions but didn't seem to help much. Finally they called for an ambulance to transport me to the town about 60 miles away. This is also where I Dr at. So when I got there they evaluated me. Turns out my appendix were ready to rupture!! Yikes! So I went in for surgery Wed morning. Things are better with that. I'm still having contractions. I'm still on meds for them. htey have slowed down though. As long as I'm not active they are not too bad. I was discharged today from the hospital. So I see my OB on the 14th and then we will decide what to do. Hopefully my contrx will subside by then. I have meds to take for them still. So it's been an adventurous week! Definetely not fun! But atleast now I can be here with my DH and DD. Oh and everything is fine with my band! Yay! So please pray that my little boy stays put for a while. I'm scheduled for a c-section June 25th. Jess 31 weeks pregnant with a BOY!
