I know a lot of docs recommend immediately laying down when this happens, and then calling the doc if they don't stop. Be careful! I hope it doesn't happen to you again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-experience#post-24125 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 01:09:12 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 24125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm glad everything is okay now.

Glad you're okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-experience#post-24119 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:53:24 +0000 Killer b 24119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yikes! That is scary. I had my first preterm labor experience at about 35 weeks, and was booming out contractions at 8-10 minute increments. I went to the hospital and had to get two shots of tributerol to stop them. It sucked. Mine was brought on by a migraine that lasted for 3 days straight. I had to get tested for PIH and everything. </p> <p>I'm glad you're okay! Definitely hydrate, take some tylenol, and a good long soak in the tub if it happens again. That was always my best bet for stopping the BH contractions. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-experience#post-24117 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:41:47 +0000 His Barista 24117@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So. I had a bit of a scare while I was at work yesterday. I began having really bad cramps in my back...bad enough I wanted to take something. I had only been at work for about half an hour. I didn't think too much of it at first and worked through them for about an hour. When one of my other supervisors came on the floor I asked her what contractions felt like. I read that since I am 25 weeks I can start having braxton hicks. One she told me what they felt like I freaked and began timing them. They were about 15 minuets apart. Cramps that would come and go. I called a nurse in my doctors office and she didn't make me feel better.<br /> She immeadiatly asked why I was at work and told me I was close to Preterm labor.<br /> I was able to go home and lay down/ hydrate and that eased the contractions.<br /> It was such a scary experience! I had been pretty active over the weekend and working through them made them worse. Now that I know what it is though I know to sit down and drink water.<br /> Anyone else have an experience like this? Since this is my first pregnancy I have been really paranoid. </p>
