Not so fun, bed rest.

Went to the OB-GYN today, not fun.
I'm almost 20 weeks but I'm having hard contractions and cramps.
I have to lie down for 2-3 hours if it doesn't go away, and if it does, I have to call the emergency line of the OB-GYN and I'll be examined again.
Worst case scenario, I'll be transferred to the hospital.
Tocolytics (contraction suppressants) can only be given from 24 weeks, really worrying me.
Went because I suspected a UTI, but it's not that.
Could just cry.

    My midwife came over to my house.
    Thankfully, no dilation or anything like that.
    But I did have strong contractions that could’ve also been my ligaments or my pelvis.
    She told me to rest for at least 2 days and not to have sex for now because it could stir things up.

    @you,

    That sounds really tough, try not to stress too much... I really hope you can find some peace...
    Are you getting support from your partner and family? Because that means you can probably do less or nothing around the house right now...

    I'll hear from you

    My boyfriend texts me every 2 hours to see how I'm doing and he does all the household chores.
    My daughter is 12 and has been asking "Mom, do you want a drink? Mom, do you want a sandwich?" all day long, so I'm being well taken care of.
