November 5th... Tue Nov 3rd I tried going to sleep, but started to have horrible back pain. Called doctor at 2:30am and she told me to take Tylenol... so it's 3:00am hubby had to go out and get some. Next morning Wed I went to NJ to help my parents move along with my Tylenol. That night again no sleep horrible pain that at 5:00am I said I can't take the pain and my mother takes me to the hospital.
So Admitted to the hospital Thur Nov 5th. I was in sooooo much pain I just kept saying i'm dying my back is braking. I could not lay down. Needed help getting to the bathroom. It was pain I never experienced before. Went through a painful U/S. Turns out that I have a very bad UTI and baby seems to be positioned on my right kidney and fluid is remaining in my right kidney because of that. They gave me 2 types of medication via IV, which I hated. Then Tylenol every 6 hours which was not holding off the pain. I was basically screaming in the hospital out of pain. So in between the Tylenol they were giving me 1 Percocet every 4 hours..and had to move that up to 2 Percocets. Along with antibiotics. HORRIBLE!
Then, out of no where in between my back pain they tell me your in labor! I was getting contraction after contraction but at the time did not even feel one bc of how severe my back pain was... I was in shock. 35w pregnant. I'm calling hubby to come now to NJ. I was fingernail open. I asked for anepidural to be ready for me when it is time. They started the blood work.Thankfully they stopped labor! And the next day Fri I left the hospital still in pain. Since then I only took 2 Percocets bc I am afraid for the baby. I am still in a lot of pain the second Tylenol wears off. Now I have alsohorrible heart burn made me throw up yesterday. I just want this pain to go away it's like anightmare. I don't know if to cry or scream anymore   Doctor says hopefully he will stay in there for another 2 weeks. - 34w6d
