Crazy Night

It was the craziest thing it all started with a backache last night very low in my back I thought it was sciatic nerve pain and tried to sleep it off. I woke up with what I thought was terrible heart burn ( which I've experienced a lot with the end of this pregnancy ) and the top of my stomach was hurting really bad too. It woke me up at 10 and I tried drinking lots of water and using the heating pad a little on my chest to alleviate some of the pain. It didn't work though and eventually my back started aching and tensing up and even my ribs were hurting! Pretty soon I started feeling as though my stomach was having really intense muscle spasms / charlie horses and a few minutes after it'd stop my back would start mimicking the same pain. I ended up vomiting quite a few times - which I neverrrr do not even pregnant! At 1 AM it wasn't getting any better and nothing I did could help so I called the hospital to talk to the on call Dr. to see what I could do to give myself some relief. He told me it sounded like contractions - which I didn't think they were because they were so high up and I know real contractions are down low in your pelvis. Well he told me if I had more than four in an hour to come in so at 1:40 we went to the hospital. Of course as soon as we got there whatever had been happening stopped completely and I was SO embarrassed! They brought me to labor & delivery and hooked me up to the monitors anyway and monitored me from 2 - 4 and none of the same pains happened again. They did an internal exam and my cervix is still closed but the baby is head down and in my pelvis. I just hope whatever it was doesn't happen again. The on call Dr. told me some people can experience labor for weeks. My mother had to have her gallbladder taken out a few years ago and told me that what I was describing sounded a lot like the attacks she was having. I have an OB appointment tomorrow so I am going to mention it and ask if there is anyway they can check if that is what might have happened. I've had a really bad backache all day but no stomach cramping or tightening. Whatever I was experiencing felt a lot more intense than when I was in labor with my first son. I was just so embarrassed that everything came to a stand still when they hooked me up to the monitors! The baby's heart rate was great though and he was moving A LOT the Dr. on call told me she thinks I have a " wild child ". When she did an external exam she said she thought his head was on one side of my body and his feet were on the other - transverse. Then a few minutes later when she did an internal exam she said she could feel him head down and in my pelvis she was shocked lol He is very active! My cervix is closed though and no sign of dilation or thinning. I will definitely be talking everything over with my Dr. tomorrow though and hopefully figure out what happened.
