PTL at 26.5 weeks?

posted 29th Nov
i went to a routine high risk appt on tuesday, (i'm high risk due to chronic kidney disease, only one functioning kidney) anyway after the ultrasound the dr comes in and asks how long i have been in pain/having contractions, i had no clue and wasn't feeling anything! apparently they caught one on the ultrasound and my cervix was only measuring 1.5, he sent me straight to l&d to be monitored, there they gave me 2 shots of terb, 5 doses of indocin, and shots to help the baby's lungs develop (2 shots 24 hrs apart) i was discharged yesterday after he checked my cervix again and there was no change and i was still contracting, he sent me home on strict bedrest and procardia. anyone else have a similar story? my high risk dr and ob seem to think there's a good chance of this little guy making an early apperance. i will be 27 weeks tomorrow. also i am still experiencing some slight cramping/contractions but not timeable or intense is that normal even with being on the procardia?
TIA for any stories advice.

I was a high risk (endometriosis, seizure condition, being born at 7 months) that had PTL around that time. I ended up with a baby two days overdue. I was around 27 to 28 weeks when my water had a small tear in it and started slowly leaking. I stayed in the hospital for a while so they could make sure DD wasn't getting an infection and to make sure that the tear was healing properly and making sure it didn't break completely. PLEASE make sure you follow their instruction and take bed rest seriously. It may get VERY, VERY boring but to have a healthy baby, it's worth it. GL mama.
