Just Returned From Maternity Ward!!
Posted: 11-20-07 08:40am

So i probably overreacted but i was feeling a little crampy tonight. Just to be on the safe side i rang up the maternity ward at the hospital and explained what was happening. the mid wife told me to come in.

That i did and she put me on that thing that goes around your belly. I did have a contraction but it didnt hurt so it was just a braxton hicks.

Scary thing was that she almost made me stay in overnight to monitor me! Shocked She is actually friends my parents in law so she was very hestitant about letting me go home without seeing the doctor. Stephen is working away this week so i'm home alone also was another reason. But i really didnt want to so she gave me some pills to help me sleep and for pain and told me that if i wake up in pain to go straight back to the maternity ward!!

Well anyway i'm off to bed, its 12:37am here in my part of Australia. I feel fine now, just thought i would let you ladies know what was happening.

Better safe than sorry i think! Glad things are ok for you. I've been there doing that belly thing 2, or 3 times this pregnancy. lol i feel like a fool when everythings ok, but i would rather feel better than stress!
