    Me - it started around 26 weeks or so with my son (but wasnt diagnosed until 28 weeks). With this pregnancy (twins) it started at 22 weeks (bedrest for PTL at 24 weeks).  They haven't found anything that helps me other than bedrest, and even then if I move around too much I can feel it....  They tried meds in the hospital last time but they didn't help.

    I have it and I'm on bedrest for short cervix and cerclage. Not sure which came first the chicken or the egg. I'm on progesterone suppositories and some uterine calming drugs vistaril and only take it as needed. I use magnesium and lavender oil AND my doc said I could drink some red wine and I think that's helping a lot. Mag bath last night seemed to help a lot.

    Wow thanks for the info! I'm on my phone I don't know if you said how many weeks you are! Thanks for sharing both of you, I hope things go well for all of us: So far I just had an ultrasound, but I think I'll go later next week and hope they can check

    I'm 25.2 and had the cerclage at 21.6. Magnesium is best absorbed topically so I make an oil out of ancient minerals brand mag flakes I buy on amazon.

    I do/did have this. I was in the hospital a few times for PTL starting at 25 weeks. I was put on bedrest from that point on but here I am full term and still chugging along. Good luck.

    Do you find that it gets worse in the evenings? I can't tell if I get them in the evenings because its evening or that's when we always have a bunch of people at our house...I think I'm going to head to the bedroom next time there's more than 2 people in the living room.
