Not sure what to do??

posted 1st Mar
So I woke up at 3:30 this a.m. contracting and spotting!! I went to the hospital at 10 because I have GD and I was still having irregular contractions but doc. wanted to monitor my LO to make sure she was not in distress. They said she was handling contractions perfectly and looked great on monitors and that I am dilated 3 cm and 70% effaced!! After a little while contractions stopped and I hadn't progressed so they sent me home and told me to come back if my water breaks or contractions start back up!! Her growth scan showed she is weighing 6lbs 8 oz right now, so her weight is good!! Family and hubby really want me to try having sex, walking, and/or nipple stimulation to get contractions going again, and one of the nurses told me to do the same, but I am really worried that she is to early because I am only 36 weeks and 3 days!! I want her to be in the room with me, come home with me, and not have any medical issues!! Not sure if I should try to start contractions again, or just take it easy and see what happens!! I really want her to be here, but I want her to be healthy!! Help!!

Only do what you feel comfortable doing, she'll come when she's ready, no matter what you try.

At this point, I wouldn't try to make the contractions start again. She probably needs as long as she can get in there. I'd just take things as they come, with trying to start them again.

I'd wait. She'll come when she's ready! Not to worry u but at my fetal assessment with my son they said he was just over 6 lbs. I gave birth the next day and he was almost 9 lbs. the scans are not always accurate!! Let her bake if you can!
