Preterm Labor

[MandyPriess]

I started cramping yesterday around 4 PM. It lasted all throughout the night, so I went to the hospital this AM. Turns out I was having contractions 3-4 minutes a part. My cervix is thinned, but not dialated. They did a fetal fibrobectin test which came back negative, so they released me. I'm 33 weeks and wondering if anyone else has had this happened and what happened in your case (ie when did you deliver, did you continue to contract, were you on bed rest etc). Also, I've had a little bloody discharge since leaving the hospital.... Probably from the test?  Thanks :)

yea it looks smaller just b/c the baby descended but usually if you go to 40 weeks you gain more pounds and it still looks big

33 weeks is early but they have amazing things to help you and baby if you deliver early so dont worry they say 37 weeks is full term so if you can hang on you will be ok

Try to stay in bed and not do so much

Also, last night my baby dropped! It is weir my tummy looks a lot smaller. Noticeably smaller... They didn't seem to think it was a big deal. Did your tummy look much smaller when your baby dropped? Does 33 weeks seem early?  This is my first pregnancy in case you couldn't tell lol.
