a set back

This is going to be a not so positive post. I slowly lost all my positive energy aftser "Dr. Scary"'s ultrasound report. But first off, let me say thanks to everyone who have been showing lots of support to Paris and myself. It is comforting to know we have you guys in our back rooting for us. Thank you. And one simple thank you is not enough for me to shhow how thankful I am even with this negative situation. I will be all over soon. Things got crazy around dinner time. Especially today it was out of control. I was contracting like crazy and I felt most of them. (Normally it is okay if I don't feel them) but I felt quite a number. So the nurse had to give me this stinky shot. This shot literally stink my skin and the bad part of this is, it raises your heartbeat so much. There was a point today I couldn't talk because I was shaking so much. (For my coffee lover, think about when you have the 10th cup). But sadly, it didn't improve the situation, so they had to increase the drug that constantly drip in my body. According to the nurse,the situation got better and I have less contraction. But I can tell you I am getting weaker and weaker by minute. Really? I thought hospital is supposed to help me feel better. I guess this is only restrict to babies here when you are in the labor unit. Let me ask you here, what's the best method to cope with set backs?

  1. Ugh, sorry to hear about your night! What is the drug that they are giving you? (Just curious.) Are they able to give you anything to calm you down as well?
    When I am trying to cope with set backs, I try to focus on just getting through small goals, like, I'm going to make it through this minute, I'm going to make it through this hour, now I'm ready to get through the rest of day, etc. It helps me to focus on stuff minute by minute. Also, I watch my favorite movies that make me laugh, like that stupid "The Man Who Knew Too Little" or "Girls Just Want to Have Fun."

  2. NatNat--- Sorry to hear about this! I'm glad they got the contractions to calm down. When I have setbacks, I close my eyes and imagine the future when I'm going to be happy and doing something I love. Visualize something good! And, yeah, watch your favorite movies!
