my night in the hospital (and a question)

acesupacesup member
in 3rd Trimester

early last night i posted about horrible back pain from a pulled muscle. i started to have really bad spasms and could barely get around. i went to the ER to see if there was anything that could be done. they took urine and blood to rule things out and gave me a morphine drip, which took the edge off. 

then for precautionary measures sent me upstairs for a NST. turns out i was having contractions and didnt even know - some as close as 5 minutes apart - though they were mild. not sure if that had any relation to the muscle issue. also, i was 1cm dilated. nurse seemed a bit concerned. they gave me two doses of meds to stop the contraction since the first dose didnt stop them.  

i was not at my regular hospital last night because i live 45 minutes away - so i went to the closest one since i didnt think it was baby related and obviously because i was in pain and it was closer.  im going to call my OB today to follow up. they also gave me vicoden for the pain - but i wont take it until i talk to my doc. i'd rather not take it at all but honestly im in so much pain i might be willing to take half a dose - even to sleep at night... 

i have no idea what happens from here. waiting for my docs office to open at 9. are mild contractions and 1cm considered pre-term labor? im supposed to work until 38 weeks. also, has anyone else taken pain killers during pregnancy?

    Take the vicodin. The pain can make your blood pressure rise and give you tons of anxiety. Good luck!

    I am at 2 cm and they dont consider that enough for admission to labor cause it can take a few days to a couple of weeks to dilate out enough. Good luck.
