I awake around 7am to find everyone still fast asleep, except Yeontan who is snuggled up in the crook of my arm. Surprisingly, the babies had slept through the rest of the night. I decide to take a quick shower and then, I plan to prepare breakfast for Yana so she can eat and refuel, hopefully before the babies wake up.
It's amazing how things have changed in the past few months. Less than a year ago, I would have been all over her, waking her up for our usual morning quickie, but babies can throw all kinds of obstacles in the way of maintaining an active sex life.
"Dr. Tiffany, I've been having contractions pretty much nonstop for the past hour. Isn't it too early for me to be in labor? I still have eight more weeks left," Yana spoke frantically on the phone while I rubbed and kissed her belly to soothe her.
I could literally feel the intense tightening under my hands and lips about every three to five minutes, so I was quite concerned as well. We'd read about Braxton Hick contractions, but these were coming fast and furious and seemed so much more serious than the ones described on the apps.
"Yes, it's definitely too early, but what you're experiencing are likely just Braxton Hicks. Do you remember the 'practice' contractions we talked about? They will become much more frequent now that you're in your third trimester. They're helping your body prepare for labor."
"Yes, but these are so different than any I've ever had before. They're really strong this time."
"It's okay, Yana. Can you take a deep breath with me? In through the nose and out through the mouth, okay?" I could hear Dr. Tiffany though the speaker so I began taking breaths with Yana.
"Is Taehyung there with you?"
"Yes, he's right here. I have you on speaker."
"Oh, great... Taehyung, I need you to do a few things for me to help Yana, okay?"
"Okay," I replied sitting up and listening more intently so I didn't miss anything.
"First, make Yana a tall glass of water. We need to make sure she isn't and doesn't get dehydrated. Then run her a warm bath, and have her relax in it for at least 30 mins.
"Okay, I'm on it."
"Yana, while Taehyung does those things, I'm gonna ask you a few questions. Have the babies been moving around at all since these contractions started?"
"Not that I can remember," Yana answered nervously.
"Okay... Taehyung, before you run her bath, make her a light snack so we can wake those those babies up and get them moving around a little."
"Okay," I responded as I handed Yana the glass of water.
"Now Yana, were you moving around a lot today before these contractions started?"
"Well, umm..." she paused looking up at me with concern," Tae and I were making love, but we thought it was okay. Did we do something wrong?"
"No... no, of course not. However, there may be times, especially in a high risk pregnancy, that it may be necessary to stop sexual activity until the babies are born since sex can trigger contractions in a number of ways."
