Will be praying for you and the whole family. I hope everything works out well, and I am so glad that you insisted on speaking with the doctor. You are doing exactly the right thing.
When I was pregnant I would get gas pains that felt like contractions. They would take my breath away. It happened at all stages of the pregnancy. I would just have to sit on the pot and wait it out until I went to the bathroom.
Shannon, I am just reading your post from Wednesday now. I really hope to find a more recent post saying you are ok. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts and in my prayers and I'm so sorry you were in so much pain and had to go to the ER.
