Early Labour.

Hey August mommies, had some period like cramps a few mornings ago and was referred to L&D to just have a check up, turns out I was having regular contractions.. I was given medication to slow them, which worked for a short time, but they started again, i was given muscle relaxants and shots to mature bubs lungs.. I'm so greatful labour was stopped for now and bubs can cook for longer but it's now likely that our little bub will be here possibly earlier than August, we are now high risk, and I am not allowed to work anymore. Just goes to show you can have a completely normal pregnancy and BAM something can just happen. Crazy stuff. Hope all you mommies are healthy and your babies are well xxx

That happened to me on my last pregnancy. Went into labour at 29wks & after 2days was allowed home on bedrest (a little hard when I already had 2 small children). Anyhow, all went well & I went into labour again at 38wks. Im very paranoid about it happening again :(
Rest up & good luck. When are you due? I'm 6th Aug.
