Too much stress

Finally It's the 6th and DH should be home tonight!!!

I can honestly say that the last couple of days have been some of the worst ever, not only was I super stressed out about him not being here but I also became aware that I had what seemed like constant Braxton hicks contractions, not fun.

And I can't sleep anymore....
It was so bad that on Saturday night I only slept for 40 min the whole night, every time I moved I would have a contraction.
Eventually phoned the clinic in the morning to find out what to do, according to the nurse it's false labour so all should be ok

By lunch time it felt like the babies head was stuck between my legs, could not stand up straight and had shooting pains traveling up the v jay-jay.
By 5pm I had kinda regular contractions of 5 min apart, and a really sore back and period like cramps.

DH called his cousin to pls take me to hospital as he was really worried.
So off to the hospital we went

So turns out they were only Braxton Hicks but seems like I have an irratable uterus, thus the tightening every few minutes.
Had an internal scan to check if I was dilated( OMW that was so sore!!!)
Seems I'm not dilated yet,but babies heads are def pushing hard on my cervix.

So good all in all, guess all the stress just got to me...

What was nice was getting to the maternity floor and hearing mostly South African accents, the nurses where amazing and so warm and friendly, it was so calming to hear them and feel like I had a little bit of home with me.

So today seems better, still have contractions or tightening of the uterus every couple of min still can't stand up straight and still have the shooting pains, but I'm feeling better

So if all goes according to plan the boys will be here in a week !?! Lol

Saw a mommy being wheeled out of the delivery room last night, with her sweet little new born, wow how surreal to think that will be me In a couple of days.

I feel so unprepared,so overwhelmed by the idea of having 2 babies, so scared of life as I know it changing forever ....but most of all so very, very grateful for these two little boys, that are making our dreams come true ...
