re: Lots of contractions.

I feel for you. I went into L&D yesterday. I've been having contractions since about 11:30 at night yesterday. I'm so uncomfortable. I was already 2 almost 3 cm Monday. When I went in I was the same and 70% effaced. I don't know how much effaced I was before... at least 50%. They ended up making me take my contraction medicine early and monitored me. Nothing changed though, so here I am at home waiting for them to go away or turn into something. I hope something happensfor you soon.

Me too. I'm just soo frustrated. They told me yesterday after 36 weeks they won't stop them, and I am 37 today, so considered full term. (Plus, I think I'm further along than they do.) It's so irritating being this uncomfortable and knowing that technically it could last another 3 weeks! I wouldn't mind if she stayed in there, if this contraction every 5-7 minutes thing would stop! My muscles are exhausted. I hope something happens for you too! What are you on for the contractions?

Yeah it's definitely frustrating. Mine were actually 2 minutes apart with smaller contractions right in between the two minute ones. I didn't even know that happened. They told me if I was any further along in my pregnancy, they would have given me something to help move me along. Until then though, I just have to wait until they are much more painful. Yay! I'm on Nifedipine. It's the same thing as Procardia. After today, I'm only on it for 2 more days though.

I was on Terbutaline. I HATED how it made it feel though. They didn't offer me anything to move it along or anything, I wish they had. I want her out! She is officially evicted.

  terbutaline is good stuff it takes a few days to get use to it though

Aw. I didn't really have any problems with the Nifedipine. I think the Terbutaline is much stronger though. I'm not really sure when exactly they would have offered something to help me along. I wouldn't have taken anything at this point, but it was disappointing to hear that they would have if I was later. It's like why can't I just be further along and having this happen instead of now? Grr.

I had to take it a lot, and it REALLY raised my heartrate. It raised mine to 126, and baby's was 180! Luckily, I don't have to take it anymore.

I've been on it for 2 months max dose every 4 hours, it sucked at first but my body got use to it.

I know it sounds bad that I want her out. I wouldn't mid her staying in if everything else would stop. I'm just soo uncomfortable. The itching is the absolute worst though.

It was worth it to keep her in there. She tried to come out at 26 weeks!

yeah mine did too at 20 weeks, no fun!

Quoting the Brinker babymaker:“ yeah mine did too at 20 weeks, no fun!”

Ugh, these babies! Now she'll prolly come late. She really is a booger.

I don't think it sounds bad. I know where you're coming from, so I understand.
