Scary night Thursday...

So Thursday I was so tired after cooking dinner I laid down to sleep early. I woke up around 11:30 or so with contractions. Now I  have been having the here and there, but these were pretty consistant. I got up to pee and walked around a little, changed positions, and they didn't go away. I even took a hot/warm bath to relax and they were coming often. I counted them like every 7 min or so. We called the Dr and of course they had me go to the hospital L&D. When they got meon the monitor the contractions were every 3 min. They weren't horribly strong, but they were there and I could feel them along with a lot of pressue... So they gave me a lot of fluid (even though they said I wasn't dehydrated) and a shot of terbutaline. The contractions stopped for like an hour but then came back. They gave me another shot and a pill called procardia. It worked. I was sent home in the morning with a Rx for procardia which I now have to take every 6 hrs till I'm 36 weeks. I was so scared he was coming... So I'm back on strict bedrest most likely till I have him. I hope this medicine works and I don't have any more issues... Preterm labor is no fun!!

How scary, glad they were able to stop the contraction. I guess your little guy is not very patient:)
Just take it easy, relax and stay off your feet before you know it, he will be here and keeping you on your feet all day.
Good Luck:)

So glad you and baby boy are ok.  What a horrid experience, but great that all is under control.  Bad luck to be back on bed rest, though.... hang in there.  We're getting there...

How scary, I feel the same as leighanne with the contractions. Glad they were able to stop them and I hope these last five weeks (+/-) go by quickly for you.
