Contractions at 19 weeks!!

Javonda
Anyone having contractions this early? I have fibroids so I'm told this is normal and can't be stopped. I've been to the ER 3 times last week only to be sent home because l&d won't take you until you are 20 weeks. Baby is okay (thank God) but I'm just nervous that I will dilate from these contractions especially since they are very regular.

I had them from 20 weeks on with my last pregnancy... I never dilated but they did end up putting me on meds to help control them

It's a normal occurrence for me. This is my 3rd pregnancy and they started at 16 weeks... I get them daily! I had my doctor check my cervical length and it's still nice and long! I would talk to your OB and let them know your concerns! They can check you and if your cervix is still long then it's just Braxton hicks and you don't have anything to worry about!

Praying for you. I'm 10 weeks and 1 day and I am going through the same thing as far as fibroids. My doctor told me about preterm labor and what to do. It's been on my mind a lot but I pray and talk to my baby every day and night. We take it day by day.

I've seen like 4 doctors and they all say it's normal. I'm out of work because of them. How are you doing with them because mine are kicking butt lol

Thanks for the info ladies...it's very scary especially when they say they can't do anything yet. So I'm just praying to get to next week when they will do something. They looked at my cervix during the ultrasound and said it was fine so I guess I just have to deal 😞
