Thread: Update...

Yeah, I ended up at L&D... but things still look good. Woke up with contractions every 4-5 minutes. Fetal fibronectin is negative and I am going to have a cervical length check later this week. It has at least been 7 weeks since my last trip. If I can just make it to 34-35 weeks I won't worry about those BH anymore.

Yay to making it so far. You are doing amazing. Everyday in there is an amazing thing. Hopefully you don't end up back in L&D until it is really go time (around 37 weeks!).

As for the mini van, we couldnt do it. Not yet. So we got an overpriced SUV that the kids are destroying! Thank goodness we got all the upgrades just for them to be ruined!

Good luck and KUP

Agreed, good luck!

Tiffany, I had tons of BH's with my twin pregnancy and spent lots of times at L&D. It's quite common, especially the BH's, etc. Hang in there...you'll be 34 weeks before you know it.

Lots of rest and lots of water!!! I was lucky that my BH were not too bad. I did drink about a gallon of water everyday though. My girls were also pretty small, which I think helped. Take care.

Ugh, sorry, it's rough. I was contracting all the time from 16 weeks on. It got worse and I was pulled out of work at 26 weeks with a shortening cervix. BUT I made it nearly to 38 weeks with lots of bedrest. So take it easy! It's too easy to do too much. Will you be kicked out of work yet? I felt like the hardest time to take it easy was when people were trying to be nice and entertain me ... don't lift a finger for anyone, and kick them out of your house entirely the minute your contractions get out of control. This part is ROUGH! You can do it!!!
