Hi nali honey, so glad things are going well! All is good with me, no exciting news really! Xxx

Hi again Naliaka

I'm okay, not much to report until my next scan next week! Glad you haven't too much to worry about!
Do you have a date yet for your C-section?

Hi girls,
So last night I was having contractions about 6 mins apart for 45 mins...and they were more uncomfortable than the usual BH. So I had 3 glasses of water, walked around a bit, and got them to stop...and today is ok. I'm wondering if this maybe was caused by the roid? because i had most of the pain on my left side where I think the roid is. Anyone experience that this early on? (28 weeks)

Thanks!!

I've been having full-blown contractions since 20 weeks. Been in hospital twice. Pain killers taken consistently for several days tends to calm it down so that I'm just getting mild or partial contractions rather than strong painful ones 5-10 minutes apart. But every week or so it starts up again so I'm being monitored just in case it gets bad again. They think it is the fibroids causing mine and also I have noticed that stress is a trigger for me.

Oh wow...and it's not dilating you at all? I heard roids can cause early contractions...so maybe that is what it was for me too. I'll have to keep a close eye on it. Are they worried about premature labor? were you instructed to take it easy/stay home?

at first they didn't even believe me that i was having contractions until they saw it for themselves on the tocograph machine. They were really unsupportive so i did my own research online. But ultimately dehydration and overdoing it are triggers so rest and getting enough fluids are my key goals, and taking it slowly.
There were some cervical changes the first time they admitted me but nothing since. They check at each scan which is every 4 weeks.

Hey gals hoping all of you here are dong great

Am back after a long break ...mentionning about contractions i had just gone to the docters for the 34 week check and they started from nowhere I was so scared that i thought i was going straight into labour
The doctor/consultant ob/gyn was there with me she was trying to measure at what rate i was having them then she prescribed some medication for to stop them and was put on complete bed rest

It hasnt been easy i guess she said the fibroid is suspect but also UTIs could end up causing contractions so was also put on anti biotics just incase something was wrong down there

I still have the mild ones,am also told that she wouldnt want me to go past 37 weeks given the history i lost my( first gal )
So at the 35 week had a scan the baby is doing fine its only the contraction but am also booked in hospital

I may have her sooner than later ave been told to have a fetal movement monitor once theres decresed movement i should go right in ...so i do not have an exact date for the section but probably from the 7th of May ...I will keep you gals updated ....when am not in alot f discomfort


All the best to us all...you are great inspiration to so many who read and are not members of this group keep up ..keep on...
