Don't over do it!

So Friday hubby n I went to Ikea to get a dresser for our little man. Walked around and just decided to get my exercise.  After, it was lunch time and I wanted a salad so we stopped for lunch.I'd been having braxton hicks at Ikea and hadn't felt little man move so had a but of ice cream to see if that'd wake him up. Nothing. After lunch and went to a store across the street. Got back to the car cramping and still nothing. Came home and drank a big glass of ice water and laid on my left side. Still nothing.  I also realized about that time my cramps also had some contractions and they were about 4 min apart. Called in and was told to go to triage (first step to labor and delivery ). Turns out that my fibroid that's the size of a softball is blocking most of his movements and I just overdid it. So be careful!

So glad you both are ok!! I also have a fibroid well 2, one little and one the size of a softball too, sometimes I feel him all day long, sometimes while Iam working, feel him a little less, but then when I lay down he starts again, sometimes its scary. Did not know that the fibroid could block his movements. Have an appointment next week that i turn 30 weeks, I will ask the dr if that could happend to me also. Thanks!!! Hope everything goes great for you all!!!! God Bless!!!
