I instantly knew that feeling and rushed into the hospital and when they looked to see if I had dilated at all the membranes were showing and I was fully dilated. This was at 11am and I was in labour until I had my son Archie the next day at 5pm.
As soon as I feel the tightening’s I feel as if, if I pushed the baby would come right out. I feel like I have the contractions because it’s my body trying to fight against my mind trying not to let them come out.
The doctors will try to do everything in their power to keep the baby inside you. You have to get shots in your bum. That will help the baby's lungs develop. They go over the survival rates of having a premature baby. I had two ultrasounds. You're hooked up to baby heart rate monitors and all kinds of machines. You're not allowed to get out of bed.not even to pee. You can't eat or drink. I had four different ivs. They come in and do blood work every couple hours.
i too was in the hospital for preterm labor..i was having contraction every 2-3 mins and was dialated to 1-2 cm..they gave me a shot of brethine and continued to monitor me and my contractions went from 2-3mins to 5-6mins and then they had slowed down enough that i could go home..im hoping she can wait another 6 weeks before i have her..just hang in there and take it easy..keep your feet up as much as possible..
m in a similar situation. Battling preterm labour since 27wks, now 33wks, just trying to hold on til a csection at 36wks. Unfortunately those steroid shots are only good for 10days and you have to have them at least 24hrs before delivery to be effective so I'll be going in for my 6th hospital admission before I deliver. Sure makes for an uncomfortable pregnancy. But at least we are on the count down now and we have put in a mammoth effort to get our babies this far! Hang in there!
Hi im 28 weeks and was sent to Nottingham hospital when I was 25 weeks because I went in to preterm labour they managed to stop it by putting me on a drip and giving me 2 steroid injections im back home now but im still having the pains so my question is because I'm still having these pains do you think I will go full term or will I have baby early?
Hey there, im 31 weeks pregnant and im very scared of the risk of preterm labour. My baby is already in the birth position with his head down. Im not sure if its my mucus plug but every time i go pee there is mucusy stuff when i wipe like its gooey white and clear stuff. The baby is healthy and constantly moving and I've had a very normal pregnancy I've had every symptom and no issues. I haven't had any contractions that i know of. Am i worrying to much?
That what i just had and I'm 33 weeks and i went to hosp and was having bad contractions, now I'm on strict bedrest for preterm labor, i would go to l&d just in case!!!! You never know.
I went into preterm labor at 25w due to a kidney infection they were able to stop if and I ended up delivering at 35 weeks. He was in NICU 5 days.
