Preterm contractions; negative ffn test

holagal · April 2013

Hi all! I know I haven't posted here often...so I will introduce myself. Hi my name is Carrie. Now that that is out of the way I was hoping I could get some words of wisdom on how to deal with preterm contractions I'm exhausted. For the past three weeks I have been contacting off and on. No dilation as of last Friday, but my cervix had softened. Also I have received two negative ffn tests, which I am very excited about! My question is how do I deal with being so darn uncomfortable all day. Today I have been contracting since 11 am 2 to 5 minutes apart at work....I tried walking every so often and drinking a lot of water. But I am at a loss as to what else to try...:/

It's also my understanding that a negative FFN test has more predictive value than a positive one. I mean, if you test neg

I am in a similar situation - I have been contracting a lot, and after PROM and pre-term birth with my first, I ended up in the hospital two weeks ago (24 weeks) with contractions every 2-3 minutes. Already on procardia and progesterone, I ended up with a

I second the procardia (generic is niphedipine). I was sent to the hospital twice this weekend with contractions 3-4 min apart, 1cm/50%, negative FFN. According to my OBs, the problem is that false labor can easily become true labor if allowed to go on fo
