Now I'm on bed rest :(
This morning I had an ultrasound with my MFM doctor and everything looked great. I'm 33w6d and babies both weigh aprox. 4lb11oz. I had my NST right afterwards at my local hospital at 9am and they found that I was having contractions 8-11min apart.
I had been feeling fine, a little crampy, but that's it. Both babies look great but they decided to hold me for a little while to monitor me. Gave me an IV and kept me for an hour with no change. My cervix was still completely closed.
Doctor decided to give me an injection that's supposed to stop the contractions and keep me over night. It's now 4am, I'm SOOOOO bored and crampy. The contractions are now about an hour apart, and don't really hurt.
I'm not allowed to go back to work and will probably be on bed rest. Have any of you other ladies gone through this? How did everything work out?
Thanks for letting me vent!
Update 1: they checked my cervix again and i had dilated 1cm. They gave me the steroid to help babies lungs develop and transferred me to a hospital with a NICU since I'm now 34 weeks.
Update 2: Spent the day at that hospital to see if I would continue to dilate, by 4pm I was still at 1cm so they let me go home. I'm on light bed rest and just have to follow up with my doctor. Hopefully I can keep them in there for at least another week so I'll be able to deliver at my regular hospital with my regular Dr. Fingers crossed for no NICU time!
