The long and winding road. Literally

I went on a short trip to a small town about an hour away to have some much needed fun. I’m 6wkpo and figured it was a safe bet. I was moderately ok on the way down. Nothing a couple ibuprofen couldn’t help. My husband and I took a little stroll on a river path, played SkipBo in the evening at our airbnb and generally had a lovely time. On the way home our GPS sent us down a road we thought seemed a bit winding but since we had only been to this small town this one time, we didn’t realize that it had made us turn onto a back road until it was kinda too late to turn back. So, we got stuck for almost an hour winding up and down a small mountain!!! My guts were sloshing around and with every hairpin turn I was losing my mind. I ended up taking a codeine with Tylenol when I got home and a few hours later I took a couple ibuprofen. I’m still feeling a but inflamed and weird. I hope things settle down after I have a good night’s sleep but holy smokes was that the absolute worst luck. Has anyone experienced something like this? For the love of Pete! What a nightmare!!
