Family drama = painful Braxton hicks all night

[hartmel]

It is my dads birthday today! He is turning 50!! And for about two month I asked my mom if she is doing something special! (Such as a big party, just family, or no party at all) and always she shrugged it of and changed the subject or my dad said that they are planning on going on a weekend vacation!
Yesterday she texted me (which was one thing that drove me mad that she didn't had the guts calling but texted) asking what time we are coming. I asked then "oh you are celebrating" and got an answer that it is obvious that we will celebrate without an invitation!
I'm 34 weeks pregnant have a SPD and a 12 month old DS. Plus it was our 4th anniversary on Thursday and tomorrow 15th is DS birthday. So because she hasn't said anything we assumed that they are going away and planned to drive to the next big city for dinner..

But it made me all so mad that all night I had Braxton hicks that where so painful I could barely breath or sleep! For about two hours they came every 3-5 min lasting 40-60 sec.. Managed to fall asleep and woke up this morning with still having Braxton hicks, very painful back, cervix hurts, urge to go big for a poo (sorry for tmi) but I can't..

Again she texted me this morning saying that they expect us for lunch! Told her how I feel and now she is mad at me.. As if I'm doing it on purpose!

Sorry for the rant! But since I got pregnant she is gotten worse and worse! I don't even trust her alone with my son. She wants him to eat food where I know he will choke on. When I tell her not to give it to me I get only a comment back "He will soon have a sibling and then you won't have time for him anymore, so you he has to learn to be on his own." and "while he is with me I will do what I ever I want"

There is more but if I write that down I will be on here all day.

I'm so scared that this baby will come early because of the stress. We had her lined up as a babysitter when I go in labour but now I have to find someone else and we don't have any friends or DH family here...

I'm going now to take a warm bath and see if that will help the pain and the Braxton hicks to ease up a bit!!

Well the bath didn't help! DH came in to check on me while I was breathing through a painful Braxton hick.
I'm in bed now trying to get some sleep!

Are you sure it's bh? Not actual labour?

Bh are ment to stop with a bath?

I'd ring the midwife. Cervix pain and urge to poo sounds dodgy...

Um, I could be wrong but it sounds as though you are in labour. Perhaps call your hospital or midwife to check?!

You need to consider getting checked over tbh, it does sound like you could be in early labour

Another vote for ringing the midwife - this doesnt sound like BH to me!

Hmmm that sounds suspiciously like labour. Have you called your midwife yet?

I agree - sounds like early labour.

I had what I thought were painful braxton hicks with just the symptoms you describe. My waters then broke and dd arrived 90 mins later ...

Agree, I really think you should call your midwife. My second labour started with regular, painless contractions.

It sounds like you are in labour! Go and get checked out now!

Hi hartmel, how are you now? It did sound like labour, hope things are ok.

Yup, that sounds like labour to me!

Just an update! Baby is fine and is still in my belly it was false alarm

After drinking a lot of water and resting all day it all got better! It was the stress that had caused it. Have to keep it down and take it easy

My parents are still mad at me for not coming to my dads birthday!

I'm on a light bed rest. Which means we can't even celebrate my sons first birthday today!

Forget your parents - why do people who bring you so much stress mean anything to you?

Please focus on the amazing family you have with your LO and one on the way :)
