Thought I was in Labor... I think

Tonight, I awoke an hour ago (around 3am) to such intense pain in my entire abdominal area. 

I couldn't tell if it was gas related or pregnancy/labor related. There was so much pressure and nothing was relieving it. I tried getting on all fours, downward dog, standing straight, leaning over on the bed, sitting on the toilet, rocking back and forth, and of course, just pushing on my stomach all over. No luck. 

I started to freak out a little since I didn't feel the baby move at all. I then felt my entire stomach and the whole thing was hard. So my first thought, is this a contraction? Braxton hicks? Labor? Orrrrr, just gas pain. Is the baby okay? Should I go to the hospital? Maybe fetal distress? 

The thoughts that run through your mind are endless. 

I just sat, breathed and prayed. Prayed for the baby to be okay no matter what. I said to myself, I will go through any amount of pain, as long as I know you are okay. And sure enough, it subsided a little and I went to lay back down. He began a little movement and now he is moving all over. Thank God! 

The power of prayer is so amazing and God is always looking over me and this baby. God is good, God is great, God is simply amazing. 

Thank you God. 

My prayer: "Lord, watch over this baby with all your heart and soul. Protect him from the world and may he always be a child of yours. Let him grow and love and be a follower of Christ. Let him show the world the power of God and be a spreader of the word. Let his heart always be filled with your love. Amen."
