small accident, a little worried.

i have not been on bg in a while, i was in a small fender bender today, and i have been moving alot of things in between houses trying to get all of my things in one place for my big move at the end of november. I know I have probably over done it a bit, and i am really stressed out at the moment.

I called L&D because i have had ALOT of tightening in my belly today and some decently strong cramps, they said not to worry unless they didnt subside by monday, but did not give me any advice aside from take it easy.

Any suggestions as to what i can do? i have been drinking water like crazy thinking i may just be dehydrated, and i have been lying down since i put my daughter to bed. Any advice is welcome. thanks.

I'm at 38 weeks right now, and know that I should be taking it easy. It's just easier said than done. On days that I stay on my feet running around I have cramps and tightening. I know the exact pain your talking about.. OWCH! But after lying down your muscles relax and it's better the next day. Don't do this very often! But you're okay for now. Just rest mama!
Your uterus is a really strong muscle, so any finder binder or lets say, your dog jumps on you..etc.. you are most likely just fine, but be SURE to tell your Doctor!

thanks. and yes, definatly easier said than done, my daughter is two and a half, and well quite the little rambunctious terror hehe, but i love her, she's a keeper hehe  
Hoping i'll feel better tomorrow, cuz i have my baby shower... (ahhhhh)

OH GOD! That day was stressful as hell.. for me atleast!
I was so excited to have it and see everyone, but was SOOO glad when it was over!

A nice warm, relaxing bath might help you unwind and untighten those muscles.  Have fun at your baby shower tomorrow!  

thanks ladies, and a bath sounds like SUCH a good idea... wow, i didnt even think about it, but man now i want one, hehe a nice warm bubble bath  

I was in a fender bender too at about 25 weeks...and i was feeling cramping and sharp pains so i went in to l&d...it turned out that the accident hadn't caused any problems....i had the cramps and pains because of a really bad UTI....but i was told by my doctor that if you ever get into any type of accident your supposed to go and get checked out...just in case...but nothing happened to me in my little accident.

Just keep drinking a lot of water and rest for a few days!! I called L & D and actually went there but Thank Goodness nothing was wrong!! I am 33 weeks now. I was so paranoid. I moved around that time too. I was always worried. Just take it easy and drink a lot of water!!!!!!!
