I blame complaining about the registry and my MIL.

Good luck, girl...if they are not intense and you are comfy at home, I would probably hold out. But if you live more than 30 minutes away from hospital and are really stressing, I'd go. Better to make sure.

I would call your OB asap...or just get over to the hospital. Seriously, it's better to be safe and overly precautious this early on. GL and keep us all updated.

I would go in to L&D, or at least call.

I'm guessing you didn't notice she's only 32 weeks. She needs to call now.

I need to call now. I dont think the procardia is working.

sam19 · June 2009

I'd call your L&D department or doctor. Those are a lot in a short amount of time for how early you are.

CALL!!! I'm worrying FOR you now!

I'd call the OB or go in, those are too close together to be good this early. My OB said if I have more than 5 an hour to give them a call, and since you've been having problems I don't think I'd risk it. GOOD LUCK!

I'd call since you are on bed rest with all the complications...it's better to be safe than sorry! Good luck and keep us posted!

Yes, but I also saw the part where she and her OB have worked closely for a while now (she's on bedrest) and he said it's her choice.

Just try to stay calm and call L&D - lay on the couch or bed with your feet elevated - I'm guessing they would want you to go to L&D when you tell them what's going on. You're doing a good job at recording the contractions, just keep it up.

Yes call! At only 32 weeks must be cautious. Good Luck!

irys09 · June 2009

I'd call the doctor! At least then you can reassure yourself the best course of action.

Good luck!!

efortune · June 2009

I'd call the OB!

Also, as a side question, what is the second number and how did she get it?

Nevermind, its the length, dur.

EAN · June 2009

Good luck!!!

MuckDiva · June 2009

Have you tried drinking water and changing positions? Try that and then call the doctor.

jamie.renee · June 2009

Call or go in right away. I had my first at 35 weeks. From my first contraction til she was here was less then 4 hours. Things can progress very quickly this early on so I would be very cautious. Good luck!

jesh1111 · June 2009

thanks for your concern guys, I called they told me to go to L and D.

I was given an IV, another dose of procardia (even though that didnt seem to be working) and they checked my cervix, still 2.5 cm so thats good. My contractions slowed down after an hour. I was spilling keytones and looks like I was pretty dehyrdated, so yea whoever said drink lots of water was right, I though I had been but guess not.

I am back home now making sure to drink a 12 oz cup every hour.
