contractions

Avatar f tn So last night I had some sharp pains in my back and when I went 2 the bathroom I was spotting bright red. I went 2 hospital and while they were monitoring me I started having contractions. They ended up hooking me 2 an IV and giving me a shot 2 stop the contractions. I'm now on bedrest for a few days. I'm really scared cause my back is still hurting some. I'm only 29 weeks and I have never had 2 get shot or had contractions this early b4.

Avatar f tn Talking about putting me on bedrest already! I'm 17 weeks 4 days. Ill go crazy!
Avatar f tn well ladies, I'm on bedrest for the remainder. I've been in the hospital for a week. Was having fast & furious contractions, my cervix has thinned to 1 mm, and the fetal fibronectin test was positive. I'm not dialated (good news), but I'm just trying to get through one hour, one day, one week at a time. Please say a little prayer that my guy stays put a while longer. I'm just about 30 weeks.
1273995 tn?1304011672 I'm 31w 2d and on strict bedrest. Have been since 25weeks. I'm 3cm and also got steroid shots over a week ago for baby's lungs. I had preterm labor last pregnancy as well. Bedrest is not easy, but hang in there! We don't have much more to go before we meet our babies. Are you dilated at all or were you just having a lot of contractions?
Avatar f tn I'm taking that shot. I delivered at 32+6 with my first son, and i'm 33+6 today and am on strict bedrest because i'm already dilating and having contractions. I dont think the shots worked well for me but i've heard from others that they loved the shot!
6934157 tn?1387157656 Y'all need to get little crafts and things together. When I was on bedrest I took that time to draw up some pics for my kids room, I made some phone cases, etc. I'm not on bed rest now but I'm 35 weeks, not working, and have cleaned myself to death. So after I get the house straightened every day I start working on an iPad case for my daughter. She loves Dora so I am taking a case that fits her iPad mini, and rinestoning the whole thing with into a pic of Dora and boots.
Avatar f tn I was put on bedrest at 31 weeks 3days, because i was having contractions that had to be stopped. I didn't know they we're the real ones until the monitors confirmed them at the hospital . I'm now 32 weeks exactly , but have still been been having what I think are Braxton Hicks again (like the first time) and back pain , should I contact my doctor or see if they go away ?
432779 tn?1364494875 They are not regular so I am trying not to worry , but I cant help thinking I am going to to have preterm labor again and end up on bedrest. My son just turned 17 months and I dont know how I am going to manage.
Avatar f tn So the other day i posted i wasn't sure if i was getting really bad braxton hicks or if i was in early labour...turns out im not in labour bub is sitting on my nerves sending pains through my vagina and into my groin. it is so painful I've been put on bedrest for the rest of my pregnancy (thankfully only 2 more weeks to go). My partner has had to take carers leave from work to watch our 4yo and 2yo.
964234 tn?1331949207 I am dialated to a 1.5. Luckily, they were able to stop it and I am on meds to keep contractions away. So far so good. I have been taken out of work, and given steroid injections to help mature babies lungs incase we can't keep him in. This is my first official day off of work and I am bored out of my mind. This will be so worth it, but leaving the house messy and not being able to nest is driving me crazy. I will be on a lot trying to keep occupied I am sure.
11587059 tn?1427628263 Can someone give me some ideas to cope with bedrest? I'm on bedrest only allowed to use the bathroom and take a shower and also on pelvic rest. I have no problem with the pelvic rest. I just am having a hard time with the bedrest.. I just want to get up and walk around...
1562256 tn?1384459598 I dont want her to come now she would maybe be in the NICU for a few weeks. She is about 5 1/2 pounds and measures 3 weeks bigger on ultrasound. Contractions started today. And so did the lower pelvic pains.
778044 tn?1299542934 I am also not on bedrest but am on restricted activity also due to a low lying placenta. Basically no sex, and I cannot lift anything over 15 pounds...
Avatar n tn Ya mil needs to back off. Im sorry you're contracting so much. How far along are you? Does she know you're contracting? You may need to call doc. If he puts you on bedrest maybe she'll chill. Good luck hon.
Avatar f tn Cervical changes, preeclampsia, pre term labour, placenta previa. I find out tomorrow if I'm gonna be put on bedrest since I've been having contractions and dialating at 32 weeks.
736293 tn?1316517842 So she called me in a perscription for terbutaline to stop the contractions and as long as the contractions stop i go back in on Wednesday to get checked out again. Until then I am on bedrest just to make sure everything stays where it should!!
Avatar f tn If they put you on bedrest just remember your helping your baby girls survival. Ive been on bedrest since 21weeks and im now almost 32.
1664685 tn?1333727482 also glad they stopped the contractions! i'm also on bedrest for being at risk of preterm labour. feel free to send me a message if you want connect. take good care and rest rest rest!
1847035 tn?1327274923 well went to the hospital today due to constant contractions and pain. well needless to say they put me on bed rest. they told me that my baby boy's head is pushing on my pelvic bone and he's pretty much trying to come out. I'm dilated 3 I just hope my 10 weeks hurry up.
Avatar n tn I went for my weekly stress test an I was having contractions an still am every 15 min. An this is my 4th baby an I am high risk. An they asked me to rate my pain an I did. It varys from a 6 to an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. An they sent me home didn't even check me. I'm 36 weeks today an I do have an appointment with my dr tomorrow but I feel like they should have checked me. I'm still having contractions. Anyone have any advice?
5021579 tn?1376397207 Have they not put you on bedrest?
Avatar f tn They had me on procardia (sp) which was to help stop the contractions. Is that what they put you on? I didnt have any the whole time I was on bedrest except BH and I am assuming its bc of the medication. So we will see now that I am off it if there is any activity.
Avatar f tn Idk why a dr would put you on bedrest at 37 weeks or were you on bedrest prior? You can have sex while on bedrest unless youre on pelvic rest as well or complete bedrest. But at 37 weeks youre technically full term and obviously baby is ready but if the dr put you on bedrest because of swelling and high bp and its not working then yes it is likely you will be induced. But if the bed rest is helping then i doubt the dr will induce you.
