False Labor Friday Feb 16th

On Thursday night I decided to take the castor oil. We had finished cleaning and everything was in order and ready. I was expecting it to taste bad, but it didn't. I waited a little while and nothing. I thought this is a waste of time. Keep in mind though that for the last week and half I had been experiencing lower back pain and cramping. So we went to bed and as usual I was unable to sleep. I had also been waking every morning between 2a-3a. On Friday morning I awoke at about 2:30a and I was hurting. I got out of bed and decided I must just have to go to the bathroom, but that was not it. Then I began to cramp more, so I dealt with it till about 5a when Jason usually wakes up and he came downstairs to find me almost in tears. I was having pains and then it would stop. Now I will tell you that having not felt labor pains its hard to know what to expect. I did call my mom and Jason called into work and told them what was going on. My mom was getting ready for work when I called and told her what was going on she stayed on the phone and would help me count when I would have the pain. We established that they were 5mins apart and I told Jason by this time it was almost 7am so I decided to just wait and call the dr's office. I called at 9 and was told to go to the hospital. When we arrived and after being there a while the pain subsided and they gave me Iv fluids and something for pain. I was having contractions but they were not strong enough. We went back home and Jason told me that we should try to go walk that evening. So whole weekend Jason took me to the mall so I could walk, but all the while I was still not feeling good the cramping was still there and I just felt bad.
