33 & half weeks pregnant... Moved house last week and have most likely been overdoing it. Just bent over to reach in the bottom of a box... And my back just felt like it gave up. I'm now sitting on the floor and cannot get up. 
DH is on overtime at work and not answering... I don't know anyone in this new town... What should I do? Wait for DH to get home and try not to move? Atleast bub is keeping me company by kicking... But if I try and move it hurts so bad...atleast I have my phone within reach.

Oh, I'm sorry! Keep calling your husband's phone. My back spasmed a few weeks after giving birth and I ended up on the floor unable to take care of the baby. Being in pain and helpless is terrible. My back felt much better when I numbed it with ice. Maybe a trip to a chiropractor might help?
-
Oh my gosh!! Im so sorry!! How long until DH would come home? Is there another way to reach him, like calling a main number and they can get to him?
-
@Mrs squirreld: Ow! I'm so sorry you're in pain. Do you have any water close by? I'd try to take it easy and not move too much. But hopefully you can keep drinking liquids while you stay put for a while. And then maybe slowly try to get up and get to a soft chair. Definitely take it easy. Moving is stressful, and I'm sure it's easy to forget that you're not superwoman - I know I do
-
In his line of work (he's a cop) he could be hours or home in 10 minutes...I only have the emergency number he gave me in case I go into labor and I don't want to call that.
I've left him a msg to call me ASAP... But if he's busy on a job he won't see it.
-
@sweetooth: no water... But I'm hoping if I just try and relax long enough ill soon be able to get up or atleast crawl to the shower which isn't too far away & I'm sure the hot water would help.
-
@Mrs squirreld: OMG, I'm so sorry!!!! I hope it's nothing too serious! *hug* Hoping your husband gets home soon (or at least gets your message) or your back starts to feed better!!!
-
Thanks. I'm thankful for HB company and a fully charged phone!!!
-
Oh no!! Hopefully dh calls you back very soon!! Maybe just lay down and take a nap.
-
Oh no! If he's a cop you should call the non emergency police number and talk to dispatch. If they can't get your husband to you they should send someone else by to help you!
-
@Mrs squirreld: I'm sure a hot shower would help. Move slowly if you make your way to the shower. And in the mean time, just talk to your little baby and breathe. I agree with @cmomma17 , is there anyone in the police station that you could call with a non emergency to see if they can reach your husband or send someone else to help you?
-
@sweetooth: @cmomma17: no one else would be able to get in my house is locked... I don't want to create a drama at the station... I don't know anyone there yet. I feel so silly!!!!
-
Ouch! I'm so sorry. My back locks up on me to sometimes after bending over or squatting down and the pain makes it unbearable to move. What I usually try to do is roll over to my side and try to get up from a crawling position- puts less stress on your back. Hopefully you'll get a hold of DH soon!
-
@Mrs squirreld: I understand. But don't feel silly at all. Your health and the baby's health are super important. I'm sure you know your body best. So if you can continue to lay there, and then slowly move that should work. But definitely make a call if you're in severe pain.
-
@Mrs squirreld: This is not silly, and no one else who has ever been pregnant or who has had a pregnant wife would think this is silly! You are 33 weeks pregnant! If you can't move, I would definitely call your DH. He would probably want to know what happened, and want to come home to help you. (((hugs))) doll - I hope you feel better soon!
-
@Mrs squirreld: Oh no! I threw out my back once after moving into my new apartment before I was married. Thank goodness I left the door unlocked that one time (we had a second floor apartment) so that my DH could get in to help me!
Try to take very small movements when you can. It's going to hurt like nothing else for quite a while. If you can at least get yourself into a sitting position, you might be able to scootch across the floor to get a little more comfortable? Ahh...I'm so sorry this happened to you while you're 33 weeks pregnant!
-
Holy cow! Call the nonemergent number. They would never think that you are silly! Poor thing!
Hopefully your DH will be home soon!
-
@Mrs squirreld: that's not even close to being DRAMA!! I worked with cops for many years and they love to take care of each other's families! They will be able to get in your door. I hate picturing you stuck on the floor all day
Don't be afraid to reach out for help - just think of it as a great way to get to know some people! -
@Mrs squirreld: You are pregnant and you have legitimately fallen and can't get up. This IS an emergency! We love you and all but your DH probably wants to know if his lovely and expecting wife is immobile on the floor. Dial, woman!
-
Yeah you need to call dispatch sister. That is not dramatic. My first thought was you should call an ambulance so obviously you are way less drama than I am!
-
Sorry ladies I didn't update. DH only just got home. I managed to crawl to the shower about 30 minutes before he got home. Needless to say I should have listened to you all. DH was very upset I didn't call the number he gave me and told me off for thinking it was silly. I'm in bed now, it's 1am and hopefully I will feel better in the morning.
-
I'm glad you're safe and your husband is home - sleep well...
-
@Mrs squirreld: Very glad you're safe and sound and that your DH is home. Rest up and feel better!
-
@Mrs squirreld: Awe! I was gonna tell you to call the number he gave you but didn't want him to panic or for you to get in trouble. Glad you're tucked in. Feel better, mama!
-
I'm so glad you are okay. I am only very very new to the LEO community, but from what I know, just like @cmomma17: said, LEO's are very protective of each other's family. Family always comes first.
-
@Mrs squirreld: I'm glad you are safe and in bed. I hope your back feels better tomorrow!
-
I am glad he was able to come help you. Please rest up and feel better soon!!
-
@Mrs squirreld: Oh my gosh girl. I agree with your DH. That was definitely a reason to call the emergency line!!! I'm glad to hear you are in bed and resting now. I hope you feel better in the AM. *hugs*
-
My DH would have felt the same as yours! Let him take good care of you
Hope you're resting up and feel better soon! -
Hope u are resting and feeling better!!
-
@Mrs squirreld: you poor thing! I'm sorry this has happened... make sure you get plenty of rest and take it easy from now on!!
-
@Mrs squirreld: Oh my goodness, Mrs S, I'm so sorry this happened to you!! Why oh why didn't you call the number? You poor thing, I'm hoping you are getting some good rest now. Big hugs.
PS - 33 weeks?!! OMG! You're on the home straight!! I'm so excited!!
-
Feel better!
-
Wow! What a day you've had, very glad to hear you were rescued eventually, so sorry you had to go thru all that though!
-
Well that was a terrible night. Horrible pain in neck, muscles locked up in my leg. I'm off to the hospital physio now to try and get some relief
-
@Mrs squirreld:
Take care, mama! I hope you feel relief soon.
-
@Mrs squirreld:
I hope the hospital visit helped.
-

-
I hope you can find relief!
-
