I’ve been 38 weeks pregnant, and last night I started experiencing pain in my lower back. I timed it, but I couldn’t tell if it was regular or not. In a bit of a panic and to distract myself, I posted a quick story with a hot water bottle on my back to my close friends. This morning, my husband’s cousin recorded the screen and showed it to my aunt, and now it’s reached my mom. Now everyone is saying “rush to the hospital,” while also throwing shade by asking “why are you sharing such personal things?” To be honest, I shared how I’m feeling, not the moment of giving birth, but if the contractions really increase, I’m confused about when I should go to the hospital.
