So Saturday I was 17 weeks!! That evening I had serve pain on my left side, it felt like my left ovary. To back up, off and on I have been having a couple contractions a night , they do not hurt,  just a tightening feeling. Anyway back to Saturday, I laid on my side and drank some water and I felt fine. I get up the next morning go to church come home and go to the bathroom and I am spotting. Not a ton but bright red and enough to send me into panic mode. So I call my OB and they have me go to labor and delivery. They check me cervix is high and closed but there is blood in there. At this point my uterus hurts and still does when I move. It feels like I pulled a muscle.  They send me home to stay off my feet and have me come to the office on Monday. They take a look on Monday and all is fine.But the doctor states, "You need to go to perinatal right away". Of course they cannot get me in until Thursday. UGH! So I am home and off my feet and my husband acts like it is the end of the world for him to have to do stuff around here. He is bothered by all the running and having to feed the kids. I just really ****** me off. I know he does not handle stress well but buck up. Oh plus I was on tamiflu because my son had the flu and my OB informs me that my PCP gave me the wrong dose. Are you kidding me!
On a happy note I am feeling the baby move a lot more, and by going to perinatal I get to the baby more often. If you made it thus far thanks for letting me vent.

Emily,
I hope you are able to relax for you and the baby's sake... Thursday is just tomorrow so you will get in tomorrow and I hope everything will be fine.  As far as the hubby is concerned when you get up enough energy kick him in the butt and tell him hey you helped me make it you help me care for it, (that goes for the ones you have given birth too also)

btw sorry if thats harsh, I am feeling angered today....

Good luck hun

That's okay I am feeling that way too. I just hate that he feels it is such a bother. I do the things I do around here with a smile because I love blessing my family. I said to him last night as I was headed to bed,If I do not to what they tell me to do they are going to admit in the hospital until the babies born and then what are you going to do.( I don't really think that will happen but I was pissy.) He did not answer.  I know him well enough to know that this is how he deals with stress but it still makes me mad.

I am sorry to hear you are going through all that and hubby is being a butt head!

I snapped at my hubby and told him that the alternative was endangering me and the baby - the tune changed QUICK!

Good luck and let us know how you make out tomorrow!
