Trust your instincts!

megmb24 · June 2012

I was away at the beach all weekend with my BF, and I kept water with me at all times so I was constantly drinking. It may not have been enough with the heat and walking around because I was having a lot of BH contractions. I usually one after sex, but after having sex yesterday they felt more intense. Immediately after we went golfing, and the BH's turned into cramping. I just ignored it and kept golfing. It kept getting worse and I didn't want to call my Dr. because I figured it was nothing. I kept thinking I should call, and finally I decided to. They called me back right away and said to go into the hospital. I was still thinking it could be nothing, but at least I was getting checked to be sure. Well long story short I was hooked up to the monitors and I was having contractions every 5 minutes, but no dilation. They said if they didn't stop soon I would need a shot, and if that didn't work I would have to go over to labor and delivery. When they wouldn't stop I ended up getting an injection in my arm. The shot made me feel really shaky but after 45 minutes it worked! I was eventually sent home on partial bed rest for a week with no sex and lots of water. I'm so glad I listened to my instincts and called. The doctors were happy I called sooner rather than later. Trust your instincts ladies!

The same thing happened to me at 24 weeks. I was having regular contractions with no dilation and they said it was because of dehydration-I also had just had sex the night before too. After the crazy shot and rest I felt much better. Keep drinking the water Glad you and baby are ok!
