Unexpected doctors visit.
Well if you didnt see from my status this morning. I had to go to the doctor this morning. Lastnight I had what I think might have been contractions I had about 4 in 2 hours. It was pain, almost like a cramp or contracting, in my lower tummy. The first one I got I was bending over and it happened and it felt like Brayden was going to come out I had so much pressure. Well by the time I went to bed I had 3 more. I finally went to sleep and I didnt get anymore, but after I got up and was getting ready for work I realized I hadnt felt Brayden at all this morning. So I went in and they hooked me up to the monitor and told me to push a button everytime I felt him move (I was like if I felt him move I wouldnt be hooked up to this monitor). Anyways they monitored me for a good while and said his heartrate is fine, Im not having any contractions, and hes moving around, but for some reason I couldnt feel him. We're guessing its because of my anterior placenta....and they said I was probably having Braxton Hicks contractions. So they said to call and they could hook me up to the monitor again if I didnt feel him at all today or tomorrow. Well I get almost back to work and he starts kicking me like crazy. So I guess he was just being a little stinker today making mommy worry herself crazy for nothing. They also went ahead and did my sugar test today. So I wont have to go in at all on Monday for my original appointment. My next app. is in 2 weeks but they scheduled it on Jan 5th and where I work theres 9 of us and 3 of us are pregnant and one of the other girls already has an appointment that day. So I called to reschedule we'll see how long it takes them to call me back. Well I guess thats it for now. Hugs Monica.

So glad to hear everything is okay, that must be a scary feeling. little Brayden is already showing mommy who\'s boss.
that\'s scary, but don\'t worry it\'s normal to be scared. I\'m happy everything is good tho and always check when you feel something not right going on.HUGS!
Little boys are stinkers..he is breaking you in. GLad all is ok!!
Glad everything is ok. Just wait those Braxton hicks will get more frequent the further along you get. Jordan did the same thing to me once. Except for when we got there he started kicking as soon as they hooked me up. I felt so silly
Glad everything is ok. Hope it continues to go well.
Glad that everything was fine at your apt. What a relief! And your little man is attacking away. Woohoo!
Yay! Glad everything went well at the docs and that you and Brayden are fine. I know how scary it can be when we can\'t feel them moving.

I am HAPPY to here that your little oneing well.YAY
Sometimes I go for hours without movement and I start to worry as well. But then later, I feel all kinds of movement. Glad things are going well.
