Ok, picture this: I’m in my room and just standing in front of my TV, I suddenly start to get an intense ache wrapped around my entire lower back and stomach. Also, my stomach starts to become distended. I sit down on my bed, leaning up against my pillows to try and alleviate some of the pain or pressure - no dice. I go into the living room, my mother takes one look at me and realizes that somethings wrong. She offers to take me to the hospital - I decline, no insurance and all. The pain gets worse, I can’t stand straight, I can’t sit straight, I can’t lay, so I sit in an almost ‘U’ shape. I start to contemplate going to the hospital after all. Then, almost as suddenly as it started, the pain starts to go away. Mysterious. I describe the pain to my mother. She said that it sounds like I was having a contraction. Umm, yeah, totally without child, not even a remote chance, so an actual contraction clearly couldn’t happen. Then my mother said that I may be having sympathy pains for Cinn. Ugh. I can’t. If this was what a real contraction feels like, I’m considering adoption.
