preterm contractions no dilation?
Went in to L&D (instructed by my dr) early the 14th with nausea, headache, back pain and a weird pain in my lower belly (this started early the 13th but couldn't reach my dr or the on call Dr until the next morning). They checked for infections and anything else they could think of that would cause the contractions and everything came up negative. The monitor was showing full contractions (preterm at 33wks) but no dilation and cervix still felt hard. she could feel the baby was low but when she pushed the baby would bob up and down so she said the baby (I guess) isn't fully planted there (whatever that means) they sent me home and said it should calm down and no worries since I'm not dilated. I'm still having all of these issues so I called my Dr and the nurse told me no one was in today (strange) but that she could get me an appointment at 9am tomorrow, I told her I appreciated the sooner appointment.
I'm curious if anyone has had this and what happened (went into labor early, made it full term, contractions stopped, etc) ?
I was also told when I called today that I don't seem to be in any real pain..? I didn't realize I was having full contractions in the first place just felt pains now and then that would make me stop and brace myself, I have a really high pain tolerance and when my mother gave birth (two kids) she didn't even know she was going into labor she just "felt weird" so part of me wants to say ignore it I'm fine and "man up" like one nurse said when I called and the other side is worried because what if I do start dilating and I'm like my mom and end up needing to be rushed into labor because all the sudden I'm having a baby even though I don't feel anything? I guess I just want to know your experiences and input. Thank you in advance.
