My first trip to L&D

Well I didn't have a chance to post about my uneventful 35 week appt on Tuesday. My doctor said that I was unchanged and that I would be sticking around for a little longer. Wednesday evening I started having contractions every 6 minutes and they were quite stronger than what I had been having. I told my husband I wanted to go lay down and see if they went away, they didn't. We headed up to L&D and they monitered me for about 6 hours and told me that I wasn't having any cervical changes, so they sent me home. They said that I might be in early labor and it may take a few days. No one told me that it was possible to have contractions for days. I am still having them, but they are not as strong. They put me on modified bedrest and I have to go back tommorow so they can check my blood pressure. It was a little elevated and they were concerned. I am glad to be back home, I had forgotten how uncomfortable those hospital beds are.

 

Good luck and hang in there! I agree those hospital beds are so not comfy!

 

Oh wow.....Any day now! Heres hoping those little fellows will enter the world healthy and strong!

 

I have been having nonstop contractions since 32 weeks. There about 7 to 10 mins. apart with know cervical change. I is so uncomfortable :huh: sometime I just can't stand it. Dr. was stopping them with the mag. since the Terb. wasn't working but when I went to the Dr. Tuesday he said he will no longer try to stop them. I have been on the mag. in the hospital about 4 times for days. So now I'm still having contractions, just waiting for them to get closer with change or to be induce or c-section. Hang in there momma, I'm right with you!!

 

I have started having some contractions that are pretty strong already. I get tired of having them all the time. I do drink lots of water also. I had some the other night that were 5 minutes apart but went away after an hour or so. You are almost there. These last few weeks are very hard. I am realizing that now.
