yelling at me that I wasn't having a contraction and why am I screaming Oh man, I feel your pain with that, my nurse did that with me, she was like "Your not having a contraction, why are you screaming?!" They dont get it, that with an infection its like ten times worse, I as well had choriamniitis, and that they seriously need to understand that I had like these pains that felt WORSE than the contractions between contractions. I don't think the monitor moves fast enough to record all the contractions,to be honest!

But I am so glad that your baby is fine. *huggles and cuddles from someone who was in your almost exact shoes* baby in NICU, nurses treating you like crap, a HUGE audience...extreme pain..uterine infection *more huggles*

my son's an absolute sweetheart and a fighter, I'm glad he pulled through.

I understand why nurses may get a little tetchy with uncooperative patients but I was scared not uncooperative.

how long was your baby in the NICU? did you have any complications with the infection? I was very lucky that I didn't :o

Yea, I wasn't scared, just wanting to do it my OWN way not theirs, and it was sort of scaring me. And I tried biting back the fears, but oh man when those ctx started getting like CTXCTXCTXCTXCTX I got horrified and I couldn't fight the fear anymore, so I was literally tensing up and screaming

It sucks...I know! I totally blame the super heavy period on the infectin and my body still trying to kick it out.
