Frustrated with Pre-term Labor

in 3rd Trimester

I went to the hospital thinking I was over reacting at 35 weeks and 2 days but it turns out I was totally in pre-term labor!  They put me on Mag and stopped the labor hoping to just get me to 36 weeks... which they did... took me off all meds expecting me to go back into full labor and I did not!  They sent me home saying if I go back into labor now they wont try to stop me!

 I went back on Friday where I totally expected my doctor to send em to the hospital again as I have about 5-10 contractions an hour, but was still only at 2.5 cm and 80% effacement! 

Today I am 37 weeks and I am so totally frustrated and uncomfortable and just want to complain, but everyone keeps telling me this is a good thing and I just need to be happy he wants to cook until then end now!  Grrr I know it is selfish to just want him out now but I am totally miserable and feel like no one is sympathetic.  :~(

    I feel your pain, literally. The way I look at it is, each day he spends inside is a day his brain grows more, lungs get more complete and less worry about respiratory issues down the road...

    Sometimes though I have to buy me a frappicino or get

    My feeling is if your body is changing that much your baby is ready when u are and 37 weeks is full term. If i was in your position i would do some at home remedies like rubbing ur ankles and other pressure points. I have also herd that pineapple is good

    Oh bah!  Please don't give a second thought to the women that are telling you it's not ok to want him out now.  Of course you do!  You're uncomfortable and pregnancy blows fat monkey chunks.  Unfortunately yes, baby will come when h

    Unless you're applying cervadil or pitocin at home, you're not going to push yourself into preterm labor.  If you're body is on the edge, and you have sex or walk, you may (*maybe*) help get things going.  If you're body isn't ready, nothing you

    Yeah I had PTL starting at 24 weeks with DD. I made it to 38 after several hospital stays and weeks and weeks of bedrest. It sucks but the longer they are in the better. Be thankful you made it this far.

    Similar things happening with me, and I swear that the next person who says "Baby will come when s/he is ready!" is going to be punched in the face! lol I know baby will come when s/he is ready! That doesn't stop me from wanting baby to be ready NOW!
