contractions & baby still very active

[hizqueen]

I'm having increased contractions and frequency. I'm 36weeks with baby #5. Dr says she thinks the baby will be healthy if she comes now, but I'm nervous about that. Debating whether to go in to l&d fearful that they wont help me slow this down. Recorded 6 contractions in then last hour.

Update: Went in 2/14 Contractions got to be 6-8min apart, back pain was severe. When checked i was still a tight 3, and cervix tilted a bit. I was given trebutaline and got the shakes as if in was really cold. Contractions knocked way back to random and not so hard. Today heartburn is extreme and back pain is trying to return. Anyone know how long trebutaline is effective for? I really would like to keep her in till daddy can be home for birth.

I delivered my son at 36 weeks and he weighed 6lbs 1oz and was happy and healthy. He didnt have any issues at all. So if she's ready to come she will be fine! No worrying and get to the hospital. :)

Honey, GO TO THE HOSPITAL,  you can't stop the baby from coming at home and if she does come and there is something wrong that can help her there, I doubt you have an incubator at home, if she's ready, She's Ready. Good Luck, and give her lots of love
