my first experience with contractions

happened today. I was at wal-mart with a client when i realized my back was KILLING me. bad bad bad. and that I had a ton of pressure in my butt. we kept going and got out of the store. on our way to dollar general my stomach got as hard as a rock. it was about 12:35...didn't hurt other than some cramping really low. she ran inside. took forever. i took her home. 12:46..happened again as i was walking into the house, with lots of pressure down low. 12:55..my dad gets back from lunch with my mom...happening again. no pain just tightening all over my stomach. i laid down..more weird pain going on. 1:05ish..happened again....1:15ish again...1:20...had another one...ack that wasn't 10 minutes that was only five...read my hospital sheet it says to call if i get 5 or more in an hour...but to rest to see if that helps. 1:30...happens again...nerves start...i packed a suitcase real fast..at this point they let up a little and i couldn't tell if they were still happening. 1:45 i head out to get my client still getting small strange feelings..decided i had better call the hospital before too long..so i called and talked to a nurse...she said it was up to me..i met requirements for coming in but that if they didn't hurt i could wait an hour to see if they stopped since we have a drive..but to most certainly come in if they got stronger or i had bleeding or my water broke.. .they kind of went away even more while my client was in with the dr from 2:30-2:45....the baby was just way up in my lungs pushing so breathing was hard. so ever since then my stomach has gotten hard a couple of times...still have some strange pain going on but baby is moving as much as normal and i have a NST tomorrow so we can make sure all is well...

first nst went good as soon as the baby woke up.....it slept for the first 20 minutes so it didn't show any heart accels but then once it woke up we were good to go!
