So I'm having contractions

*KC*luvs*RJ**KC*luvs*RJ*
in Pregnant after a Loss

They've been going on for about 1.5 hours and have gotten a little stronger, but not too strong.  Probably 7-10 minutes apart.  I'm feeling really icky.  Been trying to drink lots of water and lay on my side since I realized what they were.

I'm going to check for LO's hb on the doppler and go to bed, but I'll call my OB if they get stronger or more frequent.

    I usually got them when I was dehydrated -- I didn't even realize I was.

    I called my nurse and she said to drink even more water. I started drinking 150+ ounces a day and have been good ever since.

    Sending good mojo that your LO is just practicing and cuts it out soon!

    Thank you.  :-)  I'm already drinking at least 100oz a day, so  can't imagine I'm dehydrated but stranger things have happened.  I hope he's just being a stinker and practicing his escape too.

    So was I. That's why I didn't think twice about dehydration. The nurse told me she thought I would be ok with 100, but to try more and it works. Shocking to me. I thought I was going to float away!

    If you're having more than 4-6 an hour (I've heard all of those from different drs) and they're not going away with drinking water and laying on your side and you feel icky, I would call the dr at least and see if they want to monitor you.  I really hope they stop asap though.

    I went to L&D for this last week. They told me not only more water but more food- I was't getting enough nutrition. I am also laying down as soon as they start. However call your doctor if you are having them more than 4 in an hour so it can at least be monitored. Also, your doctor may want to do some lab work because UTIs and some other infections can cause contractions. 

    I hope it goes away soon- GL!

    This.  If they're still going on, I hope you call your doc, and just get checked out.
