Pregnant after a Loss
Now with this pregnancy even though I went into labor at 23 weeks with heavy bleeding, they stopped the contractions but I did not get put on high risk or bed rest as I did with all of my other pregnancies. I was told to take it easy.
In labor for 6 days and I just a few question about labor after having miscarriages..
Just to give a little back ground, I'm a mama of one and two angel babies and pregnant with my second child. I've had to 2 miscarriage before my first born...
With my son I had small very mild contractions, I thought they were braxton hicks so I never timed them, but I was not dilated or effaced (NOTHING). Four days past my due date I wasn't dilated then once my water broke, it broke while I was leaving the dr office, I was was dilated to a 3. I had my son all natural and it was a wonderful calm labor! :0) Even though there were tons of ups and down during the pregnancy.

Now with this pregnancy even though I went into labor at 23 weeks with heavy bleeding, they stopped the contractions but I did not get put on high risk or bed rest as I did with all of my other pregnancies. I was told to take it easy.
But now with this pregnancy I started to have mild contractions (not braxton hicks) 5 mins after the hour lasting for 40 to 45 seconds. It started after I took a walk that morning, last Thursday. I have been walking every other day for about 2 hours.
Had a dr appointment that friday and nothing is happening but was told I'm in labor so I started walking every day, one day 2 hours the next 20 min and so forth.
At my 2 hour morning walk I have progressed to having mild contractions every half hour. (5 mins past the hour and 5 mins past the half hour on the dot). That started on Monday.
I guess my question is what can I or did you do to speed this up?! I'm losing energy, thankfully my mother in law is visiting and is helping out with my son. Is this normal after having a 'complete' pregnancy with history of miscarriages or with a 'second' pregnancy?
Suggestions, comments, ideas, and personal story's are welcomed! Please keep it positive! lol I'm due May 11th THANKS!! HUGS!
