Contractions-preterm labor??

Question

Anyone else dealing with contractions or preterm labor? I just turned 28 weeks today and am on bed rest. Praying this baby stays cooking as long as possible. My first baby came at 31 weeks 😫 and that was four years ago.

Answer

I’ve been Having contracting for 3 days now ☹️ have been to the hospital twice and they tell me it’s too early for contractions, they can definitely see I’m having them, but haven’t done anything to stop them or advised me to do anything. Only comfort I have right now is I’m not dilating. I’m going to the OB this evening. Hoping for some answers. 🤞🏼

Answer

I just had my baby at 28 weeks on the dot on 6/16 it was too late to stop baby from coming! My water broke and 3 hours later she was here. She’s in the NICU now until who knows when! Good luck 🍀 and hoping your baby stays put ❤️

Answer

Uhg, such a stressful experience! I’ve had 3 preterm births, and I’m on Makena this time to hopefully hold me off a bit! Bed rest isn’t really recommended anymore at the research hospital I go to, but it can’t hurt to take it easy! Are the contractions doing anything? Have you been given magnesium sulfate?
