She told me that it was probably just stretching because I had just had an ultrasound on monday (for spotting) and my cervix was long and closed so she didn't think anything could've changed. I accepted this answer but they continued throughout the day and by night it hurt to move. I was laying on the couch almost in tears (mainly because of fear). I contemplated going to the hospital but decided to wait it out and by about 10pm they were pretty much gone.
Friday I go to work and do ok until about 1030am and boom I start having a painful one. I sit down and they go away a little, but not completely. I called my doc to tell her I want to make an appt for next week because I feel that waiting until the end of the month is too long and although I had an US on monday, I also wasn't having these pains on monday and I wanted to make sure everything was ok.
She called me back and wanted to see me that day. Of course she didn't want me to come in when I called on thursday my day off, but now that I'm at work, she would like me to come in... I was a little annoyed about this.
So I had an US and just as she thought my cervix had not changed at all. She even put pressure on my belly to see if it would funnel and it did not. This was a relief! She said that I probably am having contractions because my belly is growing at such a fast pace so all of my muscles are probably spasming and cramping but that at this point it's just an irritable uterus and isn't making cervical changes, so I just need to take it easy as much as I can but no major restrictions are necessary (work). So, I'll just continue to wear my belt and try not to worry about it.
