At labor and delivery at 29 weeks- Updated

[Spiffynoodles]

So it's almost 2am and I'm in Labor and Delivery right now, hooked up to monitors. I started having contractions three hours ago, and according to the monitor, they're coming every 2-3 minutes. Hopefully they get them to stop! A doctor just checked my cervix to see if I was dilated. They said my cervix is still thick and 1cm dilated, so not too bad. They're going to check again in about an hour to see if there's been any change.

Any ladies with similar experiences care to share?

Maybe a silly question hun-but are they painful? Same thing happened to me 2 weeks ago and I was hooked up to a monitor which showed 'regular uterine activity' and the fft test slightly positive for being in labour. My cervix was closed but they gave me steriods and kept me in with a crib next to my bed...I was also having mild period type cramping. I was so scared-either way nothing came of it! I hope the same happens for you xx If not then they told me at 28w baby had 98% chance of being absolutely fine..a week later and the odds go up so im really sure you're little one will be born healthy - just needing a little help in scbu xx

They're not very painful, but there's definitely some lower back ache with them, which is how my early labor contractions felt with DD, which is the main reason why I went in to get checked. Fortunately, the doctors are saying that it looks like they're calming down a little, and when the checked my cervix a few minutes ago, there had been no change, so that's a relief. They talked about maybe putting me on a medicine to help the contractions stop (something that starts with an "N" I think?), but I'll know more in a little while.

I had my contractions stopped at 28 weeks (was dilated 1cm and cervix thinned out). They were happening every 7 minutes, then 2...but after 2 days I was able to go home and I will be full term on Monday, so I'm sure you will be ok as well
