I went into preterm labor for the first time a week ago Friday. It was very "light", though and they said it was more like "uterine irritability". We wouldn't have even known about it (I didn't feel any contractions, except a few BH) if we hadn't gone in for some scary bright red bleeding after sex. They did say no more sex, though, which is causing some emotional irritability, lol.
I will let you know when I do deliver or if I make it to the 39th week which is when they will do a scheduled C-section.
Have you or anyone else here gone into preterm labor?
I went into preterm labour with my last bub at 33w6d. This resulted in a flight to a major hospital, stereroids, and tablets to stop labour. I was not having contractions but something just did not feel right. I was having nausea and sweats and lots of discharge. I was only at hospital for an hour before the contractions started. My waters had NOT broken.
I then went on to deliver my son 41w2d. This was after walking, sex, castor oil, pressure cleaning the exterior of house, blah blah blah. I tried everything to get him moving. In the end he came when he was ready, long after I was ready.
My first child was two weeks late.
I went in at 18 weeks with #2, was put on meds. Ended up being induced at 39.5 weeks.
This time - I started PTL at 31 weeks and we are still here. So we'll see...
