How can I stop contractions?
I'm 25 weeks today and started having contractions this morning. It makes me nervous for my baby girl, but we live 45 minutes from the hospital, so I'd like to try to stop them at home. Since they started I've started drinking water and I've just now started laying down... is there something else I can try?
@katiejessica123 forgiven :)
Sorry I didn't mean to sound nasty .
Drinking red Raspberry leaf tea.
I started having them at 29w. Whenever they start lay on your left side drive tons of water and go pee often, keep your bladder empty. If you went to the er that's what they would do anyways then if it still persisted they take stronger measures so at that point definitely go. So far it's worked for me every time I just over work myself and stress and I think it's my baby girls way of telling me sit the "f" down and take a break lol.
If they had persisted, I would have gone. But I would hate to drive that far for nothing, so I wanted to see if they would stop.
It sounded more like she was saying the idea not to go was stupid. Somebody's got the pregnant hormones ;)
Well I think calling a fellow pregnant mom a stupid is a little unnecessary. Can we just be nice to each other?!
But Anyhoo, I think I'd want to head to the hospital with contractions at 25 wks. That would make me nervous. Good luck :)

Or do u mean vrwxton hicks?
I've only had one since then and it was much weaker, so I'm just gonna keep up with lots of water and take it easy today. I'll call my OB tomorrow just so he knows what was going on, but thank you all for the advice. Hopefully there won't be any more
Lots of water
If your having contractions at 25 weeks you really need to get to the hospital as you will need to be monitored and may need medication to stop contractions..by all means do try a bath first yes coz if that works then its braxton hicks your having but if it doesnt go immediately to the hospital
If it's just on the morning your uterus is probably dehydrated. So make sure you drink plenty of water.
I'll try it. Thank you
A warm bath. If they continue you should go in.
