At 20 weeks I started feeling pains which at first I thought were round ligament pains, but they got worse and worse and more consistent. After two days of contractions I was seen by my OB and he gave me some prescriptions to help the pain and to help stop the contractions. My OB has ordered me 4 weeks of “pelvic rest” which is essentially bed rest but I don’t have to be lying down and can get up for restroom and stuff. This is to get me at least to week 24 AKA viability in case preterm labor is inevitable. 😣
