On Sunday I was admitted to the hospital. That
afternoon I started feeling pain on the right side of my belly. However when
I’d move from my current position noticed the pain would disappear. It happened
again around 5pm and by 7:30pm the pain had changed to the feeling of heavy period
cramps. I started to worry because this experience was very similar to how my
first pregnancy labor process started. I went to bed to try and ignore it but
by 11pm I was woken up by the pain as it had moved into waves. Any woman who
has given birth may know what I mean by the “waves of pain”. So I called my
parents and they headed over to our place so they could look after our sleeping
toddler so we could head over to the hospital.
I called the midwife and gave her an update of my situation telling her I wanted to head over to the hospital as I noticed the baby wasn’t moving as much anymore and I wanted to make sure everything was okay. During the
examination they confirmed I was having contractions so the doctor checked my cervix to see if I had dilated. I hadn't which was positive because it was still to early for the baby to arrive but I did find reassurance hearing my baby‘s healthy heart beat.
The doctor suggested I be given some drug
to cease the contractions because if I continued to have them my body might
think it is time for labor and begin the process naturally.
Two hours later after taking the drug the contractions seemed to have ceased and I was able to go
home.
Thankfully I haven’t felt anymore of those
contraction but I still get the occasional pain but I don’t know if I’m just
being a baby now because throughout my pregnancy I would get sharp pains. I
guess after this experience I’m noticing any “uncomfortableness” I feel. Baby‘s movements are back to normal as
well, back to doing summersaults all day and night.
On a positive note, I’m 33 weeks today!!

I know you're keen to come out little one but please wait another 4-5 weeks. You're like your mommy either very impatient and or prides in being early than late.
