SO, found out pretty quickly what that was yesterday. Just didn't know that's what it was called until the nurse in Labor and Delivery told me.
yeeaaahhhhhh...this is how my day went....
Ran a couple errands. Very productive. Last stop was the grocery store. I had been having this pain, but mild and on and off for days. While shopping, all the sudden I had to limp because the pain was so bad. So I quickly hurried to finish, got home. Made four tearful walks to the car to get the groceries. Then called my doctor. They actually told me to rest and drink water, "we'll see you at your appointment on friday". But I was persistent. It was really painful! So she told me to go ahead and go to the ER and that they would send over my records. If I was dehydrated, they would re-hydrate me...yada yada yada.
Unfortunately, Aaron was on duty that night, so he was an hour and a half away, but I called him and asked him to come home. He came as fast as he could. I waited for him on the couch while watching The Office. If I'm having a bad day there are two things on TV that will always make me feel better- The Office and the movie Father of the Bride- part I or II. ...which, wow, I can't believe I don't own.
Aaron got home finally, and I have never seen him run up the stairs quite so fast to get changed haha. At least I know he'll be good when I go into labor. Though, I think I was more calm than him. It was the drug bust episode on the Office. Michael was conducting one of his famous meetings in the conference room. He gave us some useful statistics, "look to your left. Now look to your right. One out of the two people you just looked at will die of drug use at some point in their life. Did you know that more people will do cocaine than will read a book this year?" Ah, Michael's words of wisdom.
ANYWAY....so we get to the ER. Since I'm past 20 weeks, they send me to labor and delivery. They even took me in a wheel chair. That was nice since I could barely walk.
Longer story short, they listened to the baby. All's well. He sounds awesome and is as active as ever. We got to hear him swimming and kicking. Then they hooked up the contraction monitor to my belly to make sure I wasn't having contractions. That thing was tight! The baby did NOT like it. He kept kicking it. An hour later, they come in...soooo you're having round ligament pain. We called your doctor, and he says just rest, take a warm bath and you may take two extra strength tylenol every 6 hours for pain.
I felt stupid. But the nurses were all very sweet. They said that it's better to be safe than sorry. I totally agree and am glad I went, but still.
So I'm just drinking a lot of water today. Resting. And counting my blessings. Could be worse.
We ended out the night with a couple wendy's frosty's and el pollo loco. Yumm.
