F/U to "Back from L&D post

 Here was last nights post:

 Since Friday I had been having some BH...I thought it was really early...but whatever.  Well I felt pretty yucky since then and today around 11:30 I started having harder BH.  Pretty soon I was having actual contractions every 5min.  They were so painful they took me to my knees.  Thankfully Gma was there (we were to go shopping).  I had contractions every 5 min for 1.5hrs.  I finally called the Dr.  Off to L&D we went.  Contractions showed up on the monitor and I was checked.  No dilation but my cervix was soft.  So after fluids for 2 hrs and rest they started to slow down.  They sent me home with orders for an U/S first thing in the morning to check baby & cervix length.   

Gma has DS tonight and hubby said all I can do tonight is rest.

 

Update:  

I called first thing this morning to get a u/s to check cervical length.  Got in at 12:30.  The nurse was AWESOME!  She explained everything so clearly.  My cervix is 3.5  (nurse said normal is 4 to 5)   also my placenta is laying over my cervix and I'm beginning to dilate on the inside.  I go back next week to check again.  All we can do now is rest and drink lots of water.  If I have more than 5 contractions an hour I have to go back to L&D again....oh and modified bed rest till next appt....ugh

    Oh how scary. I hope things settle down. Take it easy as much as you can, I know when you have a toddler that's not always possible. Glad you are able to be at home and not on BR or anything.
