Should I Pack a Bag?

Damn you feeling of imminent doom and destruction.

I have a doctor's appointment at 1:30. Growth ultrasound (!), cervical check, and probably a fetal fibronectin (my third!) to see if I'm going to pop out these babies in the next 2 weeks.

As of this morning?

Contractions are under control- CHECK!

Buuuuut, I'm having a little trouble in the bowels. Seems this could be a sign of pre-term labor (read- DOOM! DOOM! DOOM!). It also interferes with my water drinkage as my stomach is a cesspool of gurgles and misery.

Also, I'm feeling a little pelvic pressure here and there (DOOOOOOOOOOM!)

My conundrum? To pack a hospital bag or not....hmmm....I think my little chant, "Long, strong cervix" may not have worked the magic I was hoping for.... Damn, Fuck, Shit, Piss

  1. Maybe you ought to pack one *just in case* - one less thing you'll have to worry about if the shit hits the fan... and for your sake I hope this literally does not happen! You show those bowels whose boss!

  2. Just wanted to chime in to say don't ignore pains that feel like gas/constipation! I ended up going into preterm labor at 26 weeks, after ignoring what I thought were gas/constipation pains. Obviously, everyone is different, but just keep it in the back of your 'doom' thoughts to go in if your 'gas pains' start coming regularly.
