30 weeks and contractions...

Had to leave work last night due to contractions (I thought were just period cramps) turns out I was contracting. They can't find a reason but I had to have procardia to slow them down... sent home to rest with no restrictions so now I'm a bit nervous to get out of bed, have them start again... any more than 5 an hour for a few hours and it's back to L&D I go. Anyone have experience with this? Nervous but not ready for bed rest if I can help it, this was a surprise and I could use the hours... whatever is best for baby, but... yikes

    If you have no restrictions, then it is best to just take it easy, but continue your day to day. With DD1 I went at 34w, but the procardia stopped my contractions. I then went 3 weeks overdue. Just because they started, doesn't mean they will automatically start again.

    I have constant contractions. I am not allowed to take the meds to stop them because of other medical issues but doc has no worries since they are not changing anything. I have 5 to 10 contractions every hour...really it's nuts but I have read that my muscles are probably weak so things are trying to get prepared for delivery. Never had them with my first until I was actually in labor. Makes me nervous, some do hurt some do stop me in my tracks but I guess it's ok. Try not to worry. You will no when you need to go. Listen to your body. Good luck!

    I have 5 an hour for last few weeks. No bed rest yet either. Only some of them hurt. Cervix is softening, but not opening yet- so for now at 31 weeks I'm not on bed rest. (We will see what doc says tonight at my apt...)

    Hang in there.

    I had to take a day off last week to just lay down all day and will prob do the same again tomorrow.
