37 & 5. Over exerted myself yesterday, hurting so bad.
I have children on summer break, so laying in bed 24/7 is impossible.
I’m having to clean as I can & cook while sitting due to pressure and pain since 35 weeks.
Yesterday, I pushed through and continued cleaning. Big mistake. I’ve been to the ER 4 times in 2 weeks due to hurting, I can’t tell if they’re contractions or just pain. Every time I go, they say it’s uterine irritability & to drink more water. The thing is, I drink an abundance of water.
They test my urine & say there is bacteria but when it was sent off for a culture, nothing grew.
I’m on hour 12 of so much pain, getting out of bed just to pee is painful. Tylenol isn’t helping. I even hurt while lying down.
I went to the hospital for the 4th time last night & same thing I explained above.
I don’t know what to do. I am in so much pain.
It’s pressure/pain all in my lower area. From my back, lower stomach and when baby moves, my cervix.
I’m only dilated to a 1 on the inner, no leaking fluid, no blood & baby moves fine.
