pre term labor

[steph0607]

Well ladies I had quite a scare today..I started leaking fluid today so I called the doc and they told me to come to the hospital to get checked..when I got to the hospital they checked me and I was 1-2 cm and having contractions every 2-3 mins..they gave me a shot to stop contrctions and watched me for a couple hours then sent me home..hopefully baby will stay put for awhile longer

my belly is " tight as a banjo" as my husband says but I'm cramping so bad. he told me to just takeit easy.

[MrsPincince]

Oh my steph!. She's ready for the world huh?! Tough lil one..hehe..Just hang in there. keep your feet up like you say and just do nothing. Hopefully they stop. Keep us posted! (((Hugs)))

[steph0607]

Still having some contractions but just trying to keep my feet up and rest..I think this little girl is wanting to come early but she just can't come this early!

Ashleyfife: is everything ok? What did the doc tell you to do?

[ashleyfife]

you and I both yesterday :(
I posted on the pregnancy 18+ form yesterday about it. :( I think my baby boy is very impatient lol. I had a little water breakage not much though. hope you're okay.

oh, also there is usually disability you can do through the state that covers pregnancy and maternity leave, so look into it just in case!

[coffeebuzzedliz]

well take it easy and hopefully your body will stop all the contractions. bedrest would not be fun, but at this point you really want baby to stay put so if you have to you will live through it, but I get it, if I had to go on bedrest  it would not be good for our finances!! Do you have disability insurance/leave? I signed up for long term and short term just for instances like that that.
GOOD LUCK!!

take it easy and prays that everything will last a little longer!

They can't really do anything about me being 1-2cm just said if the contractions start up again to come right back..the doc wanted to put me on bedrest but I kinda argued with him..I told him that I am already working light duty and I can't really afford to be off of work that long..so he told me no lifting and take it easy but if this happens again there will be no discussing it I would be on bedrest...so hopefully baby girl stays put for awhile longer

[MrsPincince]

Wow! That's wonderful that they were able to stop the contractions......try to rest and not do so much! Take is easy:)  did they put you on bed rest?

[kimmery]

also glad they stopped the contractions! i'm also on bedrest for being at risk of preterm labour. feel free to send me a message if you want connect. take good care and rest rest rest!

[StephRox13]

Yikes! Glad they were able to stop the contractions! Take it easy and try not to stress out. (easier said than done I know). Good luck to y'all, I'll be praying for you.

So glad you and the baby are doing fine- what a scare! Take care of yourself

[mum2beagain]

Take it easy and keep that bub safe inside you.

I hope the shot worked and the lil one stays put for a couple more weeks. I would have been scared as well. Did they do anything about you being dialated to almost 2cm?
