How many of us have gone into preterm labor?!

Question

I’ve had my third scare in two weeks, and thought my water broke last night. Thank god it was a false alarm and just a gush of discharge, and no hidden tears in the sack. They kept me most of the day yesterday just to monitor my contractions after that and I got the steroid shot (second dose was this morning) because he keeps trying to make a break for it. 😐

Answer

I was on reduced activity and pelvic rest because I had two large hematomas from 14 weeks to 25 weeks. Then at 25 weeks, had an ultrasound and everything looked great, they couldn't see the hematomas anymore and my cervix was 5.1cm long and closed. I came off my restrictions and was feeling great, then at 28 weeks I went into preterm labour (contractions 2-3 minutes apart and dilating), luckily they were able to stop it and I got steroids for baby's lungs, same thing again 4 days later, they were able to stop it and again at 32 weeks, luckily we were able to stop it again. I'm 3cm now and my cervix is very thing but I'm 33 and 3 tomorrow. Only 5 and a half more weeks until my goal of 39 weeks, but I'd rather go to 40 or even 41.

Answer

I’m on bed and pelvic rest. 😒 progesterone suppositories as well. Hopefully he stays in for a bit longer, almost there though 32+4

Answer

Currently on pelvic test and modified bed rest due to having contractions on Monday. 
It was mostly due to dehydration and calorie deficit due to a virus as I had 4+ ketones in my urine. I got to leave the hospital after 2 liters of fluid and Stadol for contractions and discomfort. 
Drink your water! My OB said that dehydration and things like that can cause your uterus to be in a constant state of cramping/contracting. I was having them constantly and close together but it wasn’t dilating me thank goodness. Just an irritable uterus! 
I hope all you ladies can keep your babies cooking for as long as possible and wish y’all the best!

Answer

Currently in the hospital. They did the ffn test to see if there’s a chance and we tested positive so we shall see I got the steroid shot and I may be allergic to the pericardia that is supposed to stop my contractions so we can’t have that anymore just fluids!
