Answer

I worked up to 33weeks,  always on my fert at work... started having back pain which you can have back labour..... went in for an assessment for my back and found out that i was 3cm and had preclamcous due to high blood pressure and protein in my urine.... after 14hrs of labour..... had a c-section and had my twin boys... my advice is to take it easy and keep your feet up

Answer

I'd drink more water personally! I drank 96oz of water every day when I was pregnant with just one baby. Shoot for at least 8 glasses of 8oz of water. That's 64oz. If you feel Braxton hicks contractions (stomachs tightening but with very little pain) drink water and change positions. I didn't have twins but I had lots of Braxton hicks contractions in my 2nd and 3rd trimester.

Answer

I'm 32 weeks with twins, & have two kids, I started having contractions at 28 weeks 2 days & dilated to 2cm. They gave me medicine to stop the contractions & steroid shots for the babies lungs. They didn't give me a reason as to why the contractions started, I have a couple reasons I think might have been the reasons. 1. I was working, taking care of two kids, & always on my feet for my whole pregnancy up until I went into premature labor, 2. It's just common for a lot of woman carrying twins to start having contractions early. I was having a lot of Braxton hicks from 17 weeks on, & kept going at full pace, I think I should've been taking it easy but wasn't. After the premature labor scare I was put on strict bed rest, I still get the Braxton hicks often, but haven't had any real contractions since. I say drinking lots of water, taking your prenatal vitamins, & try to take it easy after 16 weeks, even if you think you don't need to, all those things I think will help a lot!!

Answer

Sex put me into preterm labor at 30 weeks with twins. I noticed I was having more then 8 Braxton hicks an hour so I went in and my contractions were 2-4 minutes apart and I was dilated 2 cm. luckily I went in early enough and they gave me medicine to stop my contractions. I'm now 37 weeks 😁
