how many trips have you taken to L&D

robbiebride

I went at 23 weeks for sever back pain, turned out to be a UTI, then at 32 weeks from toddler jumping on my belly and feeling decreased fetal movement.

Might be going again if these BH's dont stop!

Is that a lot? How many times have you been?

(with my DS I never went until my water broke!)?

I've never been

Kari Merks

surprisingly not once.  although i've been to the hospital more times than i care to remember in the past 4 years.

I've had two NSTs so far.  They were both around 31 weeks because my blood pressure was up.

I've only been once.  It was 29 wks maybe.  I hadn't felt her move in 2 days.  They hooked me up the monitor and she was kicking the crap out of me I just couldn't feel it.

twice. First time was after an OB apt when they realized I was 1 cm dilated at 32 weeks. Second was last week after about 6 hours of BH at 6 mins. I'm wondering about going tonight too for another shot, but I sure wish I didn't have to.

I went around 22 weeks for pre term labor, 36 weeks for major swelling (elephant foot) and then again at 37 weeks for some dizziness, seeing spots, headache, swelling, contractions (I was afraid I was developing PIH).  I hope that I don't go again until Monday when my c-section is scheduled....unless my water breaks!!

I went once so far because I went into pre-term labor because of a mineral deficit. I had contractions 2 minutes apart at 29 weeks. It was rough, but baby was wonderfully fine.

Zero. Same with DS until I went into labor.

MayDayGirl

I had hoped to go zero! But I've had two episodes of bloody show... so 2times.

Surprisingly I've only been once so far this pregnancy (30+ wks).  Last pregnancy w/ ds I spent a good part of a month there (plus a visit at 18 wks due to a bleed - got an overnight for that one).  It was the month prior to my due date...and the month I ended up having him.  I think it was 2 short visits (maybe an overnight), and a 4 day stay.

Don't ever feel bad or weird for going in to get checked out.  That's what they are there for and it's in the best interest of your baby to do so....even if it ends up being nothing.

Never been other than to deliver.....I hope it stays that way.

Never

MaybeABaby?

I got admitted at 24 weeks and I'm still here. I will be here until I have the baby or 35 weeks, whichever comes first!

kds24

None, but it just so happened that the days that I had to have NSTs b/c of decreased movement (twice) were appointment days anyways.  Same thing with my appt. last week when they checked to see if my leaking was amniotic fluid or not.  At this point I hope I don't see L&D until he's ready to be born and not b/c of false labor or peeing my pants!

Just once, I fell when I was 15 wks and had some spotting, thank God everything was OK.

Dan&Maggie

Twice, both during my 26th week. I've been on modified bedrest ever since.

Three.  First at 28 weeks, then last Thursday, then today.  All for decreased fetal movement.  The MW I saw today finally told me it's ok to chill w/ kick counting cuz my child is obviously quite lazy.  I've been trying to tell them this the whole time and they kept insisting on 10 movements in 2 hours or I had to call.  Hopefully, the next trip there will be for labor or at least some contractions!

I went at 30 weeks for symptoms of PTL and abd pain and then again at 34 weeks for contractions and cramps.  Hopefully the next time I go I will be in labor.

mommabachman

twice, once at 26 weeks for high blood pressure and again at 30 weeks for high blood pressure.

MrsCole

I went once at about 32 weeks for possible fluid leaking.
