I hope your little one staying put for a few more months. Good luck at your appointment tomorrow. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they don't make you do bedrest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265574 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:31:21 +0000 banana 265574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hang in there @mamamoose!! Sending you good thoughts! The next thing you know, you'll be holding a beautiful baby in your arms! Stay strong! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265571 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:29:21 +0000 MamaMoose 265571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone. Not feeling great today. Achy back but I honestly I think it's just from tossing and turning all night. Just feeling really stressed because I can't decide what's just normal pregnancy pain and what might be a sign that the contractions are coming back/increasing... so I don't know whether to call or not. I don't want to be annoying and call for no reason (or get the bill from going to the ER AGAIN) but I also don't want to not go in if I need to be seen. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265403 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 09:05:31 +0000 LuLu Mom 265403@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you, dang that baby for playing tricks on you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265367 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 08:21:21 +0000 mrsjyw 265367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you!!! I'm glad that everything is ok! I had a minor scare last week with a really bad BH contraction and thought it may be preterm labor. These Nov babies are causing us a bit too much excitement! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265281 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 04:12:57 +0000 mediagirl 265281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thinking of you! I hope your OB says everything is ok. Honestly, if it wasn't and if they were more worried, they would have had you in Tuesday, right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265278 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 03:49:41 +0000 looch 265278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Rest up mamamoose! Thinking of you and your little one and that you get some reassurances when you see your OB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265257 Tue, 21 Aug 2012 00:36:58 +0000 red_seattle 265257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds very similar to my situation starting when I was 29 weeks pregnant. If you want to chat, PM me. I don't want to scare you with all the stuff that ended up happening between 29 weeks and 36 weeks, so I won't describe what happened here, but do PM me if things develop more. </p> <p> And, for what it's worth, Baby X ended up being born at 40 weeks and 1 day. Everything could turn out just fine. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265168 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 21:01:47 +0000 PrincessBaby 265168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad to hear the doctor was not too concerned! I REALLY hope that on Wed at your appt everything is totally normal!</p> <p>I have to admit this is my fear right now (24w4d) so my heart aches for you to have had a scare!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265158 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:48:58 +0000 MamaMoose 265158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I'm realllly hoping not to end up on bed rest like you did. The ER doctor didn't mention it. So I guess we'll see what my OB says on Wed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265127 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 20:20:08 +0000 immabeetoo 265127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I hope that the medicine takes care of it - that sounds nerve wracking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265102 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 19:52:19 +0000 winniebee 265102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had preterm labor and it was scary!

The doc honestly didn't seem too worried but it's still stressful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265051 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 18:48:40 +0000 ChuckNorris 265051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My goodness! Prayers to you and your baby! How far along are you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-term-contractions-bleh#post-265050 Mon, 20 Aug 2012 18:46:47 +0000 MamaMoose 265050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So yesterday I had some bloody mucus. It was very minimal but I decided I would call my doctor today just to let them know what was going on. Well my primary was out and the on call doc decided I needed to go to the ER. My husband and I both thought that sounded a little extreme but I wasn't going to argue with her. So off I went. Well shortly after they hooked me up baby decided to scare the crap out of all of us and have two major heart rate drops. So doc ordered IV fluids and internal and external ultrasound. Baby looked perfect and they decided the heart rate drops were probably just baby squeezing the cord. So that was good news but then they inform me that I am in fact having preterm contractions. Since my cervix is long, firm, and closed I'm not actually in pre term labor. They gave me a medicine that works on smooth tissue and the contractions stopped right away. So now I have to stay on the meds every six hours round the clock. It is scary to me that I was contracting but I can't feel it so I didn't know it was happening. I have a follow up with my OB Wed morning to come up with a long term plan. This baby is so much drama!!! </p>
