Trying to take it easy.

at 04/06/09 10:52PM
Friday I was having quite a few contractions. They were getting pretty strong and I was having at least a few every hour. I went to bed that night and kept waking up uncomfortable, but I would always just turn over and go back to sleep. Saturday morning when I woke up I was having some pretty strong contractions every 3 minutes. After about 2 1/2 hrs of that I called the nurses station at the hospital and asked what I should do. Mind you I went in to labor with Luke at 35 weeks and had to go in and get my contractions stopped. The nurse told me to take 2 Tylenol and 1 Benadryl and to lay down for about an hr. So I did, and when I got up they had really started slowing down. I was so relieved!!! I am only 31 weeks, way to early! I have a few a day now, which is normal. I have really been trying to take it easy, and let Ryan do the picking up of children as much as possible. I have been sitting a lot more to and just trying to rest. So hopefully I can just get to the safe weeks before she comes.

    Yes, take it easy... Let your kids crawl up into your lap while you are sitting for snuggle time! I know it is difficult, but it is best for everyone. Try to relax and let the baby grow a little more...

    Keep resting with your feet up! Drink lots of water! No more painting! I just saw your parents last night and they told me all this! :) I've never heard of the tylenol and benadryl thing - glad it worked!

    The more you have, the more you feel the contractions. Are you getting your 2 hour nap every day? That is an absolute must even if you don't think you need it. If you need someone to watch the kids while you nap, I'll come pick them up.

    I'm only 2 weeks behind you and that would scare me to death! I am ready for her to get here, but the house is definitely NOT ready!
