"I assume you're not talking about the kind of stomach cramps you get from bad food?"
I shake my head 'no' adn try to explain what happened. Of course, his reaction to me slipping on some ice has a bad effect on his vocabulary enough to make me flinch. Is he mad at me? I've noticed my balace has been waning as of late the more into this pregnancy I get. Though, that's not what has him upset. It's the fact that this lingering feeling has been going on all day, but it's not been painful at all until I almost fell.
"My back hurts all the time... as well as everything else. It didn't seem like a big issue. It was just something else to get used to. I'm already twice the size I used to be." I somewhat groan about the weight I've put on. I don't like to fuss at all about anything going on unless it's a dire need to and it wasn't until a few minutes ago. The look on Matthew's face is starting to worry me just as much as I am him I think. Even when I ask if I need to go to the hospital, he's clueless as I am.
"What exactly does it feel like...?"
"Like just a constant feeling of tightness in my stomach sometimes more. Sometimes less. I don't know how to explain it." I tell him as he helps me over to the couch and as I lay down the feeling of it doesn't get worse at all. That has to be a good sign. Doesn't it get worse if I was to be in labor? Why does this feeling not go away, then?
"You look like a scared father-to-be..." I have to mention, giving him a pitiful smile and reach out to touch his face. He's frozen to a T, but I'm sure my fingers are just as cold as his face. For a few moments, I take in a few deep breaths and even try to close my eyes but the feeling still don't go away. It's just a constant cramp, so I curl up and turn to my left side. My hand drops from his face and I reach for his hand and pull on it until he gives and I place it toward my cheek.
"I'm nervous, Matthew... really nervous. What if she comes early? We're not ready. I'm not ready. I'm not even sure that I'm ready to be a mom yet..." This is all starting to feel all too real. The weeks are flying by and soon enough it's going to be 'time'. I just don't know what to do. I reach out to him and motion for a hug.
