possible preterm labor

[2LINESPLEASE]

hello ladies!
I HAVE HAD LOWER BACK ACHE FOR DAYS THEN YESTERDAY IT GOT WORSE! I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AROUND 1:15 A.M. AND WAS HAVING CONTRACTIONS EVERY 4 MINUTES AND CONTIUNED BACK PAIN. I GOT UP AND GOT SOME WATER AND A SNACK TO SEE IF IT HELPED AND FINALLY WENT TO SLEEP AT 4:30 AM ON A HEATING PAD (ON MY BACK LOWEST SETTING) NOW THIS MORNING I AM STILL HAVING BACK PAIN NO REAL CONTRACTIONS THOUGH BUT I HAVE ALOT OF PELVIC AND BACK PRESSURE! HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE THIS? I AM 26 WKS AND AM ON PROGESTRONE SHOT FOR INCOMP. CERVIX AND I HAVE A PLACENTA PREVIA AS OF RIGHT NOW!

Crank the calcium!! I take citrical, which has calcium and magnesium in it. It must be those two combined. You may not be able to get that brand, but find something with those two in it, and take 1500 mg a day. this will hopefully settle things down. I have had it before, and cranking the cal/mag always does the trick!

I would go and get yourself checked out, even if the contractions have stopped they could start up again and better safe than sorry. Take care

go to the hospital. please!

i kick myself everytime i think of some time that might have saved me from premature birth, if i had just seen someone.

Definitely, most definitely go the hospital especially with a diagnosed incompetent cervix

WELL FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THE ADVICE AND SUGGESTIONS! WHEN MY DR. OPENED THIS MORNING I CALLED AND THEY TOLD ME TO COME IN! DR. CHECK MY CERVIX VIA VAGINAL U/S AND FINGERS (LOL) TMI I KNOW! ANYWAYS HE SAID THAT MY CERVIX WAS THE SAME AS LAST TIME HE SAW ME AND PUT ME ON REAL BEDREST UNTILL 1/5/10 WHEN I SEE THE HIGHRISK DR.

THE DR. SAID THE BABY HAS DROPPED (ENGAGED) AND IT POSSIBLE THAT MY UTERUS IS IRRITATED FROM LACK OF FLUIDS AND TOO MUCH ACTIVITY!
EVEN THOUGH I AM NOT THAT ACTIVE UNLESS YOU COUNT BATHROOM AND FRIDGE TRIPS LOL!

SO LOOKS GOOD FOR NOW UNLESS I START HAVING THE HORRIBLE BACK PAIN AND CONSITANT CONTRACTIONS AGAIN!

AGAIN THANK YOU TO ALL AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE SUPPORT IT IS NICE TO HAVE THAT WHEN YOU NEED IT!!
