    Im sure by now most of you know that Ashley is my SIL...she will update when she is able to get home, but she went into the hospital this morning with contractions a couple minutes apart. They are trying to stall her labor, but those kiddos are pretty persistant so we will see if she comes back on with or without the babies! Be thinkin about her....

    Thanks for the update (no, I didn't know she was your SIL, lol, how cool!) I thought since she was on yesterday, that things must have been stalled for her. She is in my thoughts! She made it longer than I did with my pregnancy, and we avoided the NICU. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she experiences the same thing should those babies arrive soon.

    I am TIRED!! Woke up DH at Midnight in a bunch of PAIN.. Off to L&D.. We got there and my contractions were 2 mins apart!! :blink: I was also dialated 1 CM, without effacement. They gave me a shot a Terb (awful stuff!!) and 30 mins tlater the contractiosn broke thru at 4 mins apart.. Then they gave me another shot of Terb... and contractions broke thru not even ten mins later.. Still 4 mins apart then they were getting closer.. I thought we would be having babies!! Then they gave me a Terb pill about 6:30 am and then i was trying to get comphy to get some sleep.. (hahaha sleep....) after relaxing for about 4 more hours.. still no more dialation and i was sent home with contractions about every ten minutes. It was 11am before they let me go and i was starving.. I am still not feeling well from the Terb and I am still shakey.. but at least i am not in pain like i was last nite!

    No babies yet!! We still have to wait for another week or 2 (hopefully!)

    Oh gosh ~ what a crazy day for you! I am sure that you were just ready to have them since you were there!

    Well, my thoughts are with you and I hope that you ate something wonderful and are getting some rest!

    That is great that you got the steroid shots, and that you are able to hold out a bit. Even an extra day or two, to give those shots a chance to work, would be wonderful. Glad you are home, and hoping to get another update when you get the chance. And the terb will wear off, promise!

    UGh those terb shots are the worst!! I'm glad that you are home and those babies are still hanging in there. If you can make it another couple weeks that would be awesome!! Take it easy and try to get some rest.

    Glad you are home...have to say I'm surprised at the interventions taken at 35 weeks... It's more ideal to deliver after 36 weeks, but just surprised they were concerned enough since you were at 1cm and seemed to be sticking there. I went into L&D at 35 weeks after having a bout of the stomach flu... I had ctx coming on every 2 minutes or so and I was at 2cm...they did nothing but observe me for like 4 hours, then I finally convinced them that it was due to dehydration, so PUHLEEZE give me an IV so these things will stop...they finally gave me an IV and watched me for another 4 hours... the ctx petered out A BIT, then they sent me over to the perinatal center to get a NST and BPP done...and from there they sent me home... No terb shots or anything.. thank God...they sound like they aren't much fun!! But regardless my docs were pretty much sitting around just waiting to see if this was the real thing....if it had been they would have given me my c/s that day without arguing over it. But maybe my docs were bored that day..and yours were busy! LOL!
