I feel a little more paranoid with this pregnancy given the history we went through last year. Being that this is my 3rd child it seems like I should be "I have been through it before, so I am a pro", but that is so not the case. I really forget some things, I am constantly looking up things in my book. On Sunday night I started feeling more nauseous then usual, and my medication was not helping like it usually does. Then yesterday, I still felt sick and started having contractions through out the day. Nothing painful, just uncomfortable. Then last night I had 3 in one hour. Being that I am only 24 weeks pregnant I thought I better give the nurse a call. She said I should come in.
So, I went to the doctor........they took my blood pressure, my weight, and listened to the babies heart rate. Then the doctor came in, asked me what was going on then he basically told me that I wasn't having contractions, and it was to early to worry about anything. To early to worry? I am more worried because it is so early! I then told him that I went into labor 6 weeks early with my daughter, he interrupts me to say "you had contractions, you didn't go into labor. We can't stop labor." Well, whatever.
Okay, I am done venting......I am glad that he said there was nothing to worry about, baby measures well and heartbeat was strong. I will continue to put my faith in God, and trust that he has both of us in his hands. I am ready for these next 16 weeks to be done, so I can hold my healthy baby.

It's hard not to worry. I should know seeing as I inherited all of my mom's parinoia :) DOn't forget to drink lots of liquids because dehydration can cause contractions. I was having them every 5 mintues all night while I was pregnant because I was so dehyrdated from having the flu.
Sometimes I think doctors make you feel bad for being concerned. Who cares what they think! We are the ones that are paying them. So if you want to go in EVERYDAY for peace of mind, then I say, by all means do it! That is ridiculous that he made you feel like that. You will be just fine and so will your baby. I feel the same way, and I am so early. I was praying the other day and I just said, "You know Lord, this is beyond my control, I will trust in You!" And that, is really the best thing for everyone :)
