I am 35, will be 36 weeks on monday. I went into preterm labor at week 28 buy they were able to stop it. They gave me Meds in which I was instructed to stop taking at last appointment. The doctor told me at my appointment afew days ago that if I go into labor they won't stop me.
I had ONE contraction 30 minutes ago and made the mistake of telling DH about it. He nagged at me to call the doctor and I told him no. I don't feel it necessary for one single contraction. If they were happening in a pattern or were consistent, then I'd consider giving the doctor a heads up. But until then, I'm not worried. He got pissed and said he would call on his own then. I said fine, but that it's not necessary. He gets off of the phone with me and calls mommy!!! He calls me back and said he called his mom and that I HAVE to call the doctor and that I HAVE to time my contractions because I'm only 35 weeks blah blah. He knew what the doctor told already told me. I was so pissed he called his mom and disregarded what I was telling him. He chose her knowledge over what I was telling him. I hung up the phone because he was throwing a fit and wanted to call my doctor. While i wait for his call back, I sent him this:
Guess what DH. I'm the fucking pregnant one. I KNOW what I need to do. I know what is necessary. I know when I need to start timing them. I can make my own medical choices about my own body. I am the one who will push this baby out. If you wish to support me and my choices Id appreciate that. But until then, don't tell me what to do. I will tell you what to do concerning my pregnancy and If you can't be supportive or keep the things I tell you private then you will wait in the waiting room.
Was I too harsh???
