    Ha! Never heard of this...but drinking water has always done the trick when I was experiencing lots of BH. That and relaxing with your feet up. But oh I can't wait for the day I can indulge in some vino!!

    Yes I saw this on the "what to do if you think you might be in labor" instructions that my midwife gave me, guess it's a way to tell the difference between bh and true labor but still I did a double take! Is it working lol??!

    To each her own, especially if your doctor says it's ok. I don't drink much when I'm not pregnant and I don't drink at all when I am.

    I haven't had a sip of alcohol during my pregnancy, until now.

    I had some wine with dinner tonight and it calmed my contractions too! A half of a glass did the trick for me! :)

    In the booklet from my doctor about labor prep and BH it states the same thing. Rest, relax, take a bath, drink red wine, and lots of water.... dr's orders right lol

    ha!  my doctors have never said this, but my mom has.  She told me over and over that when you start labor you should have a glass of wine!  Also that when you are nursing you should have a glass of beer every night.   My first doctor told me the beer one too, but most current doctors recommend other yeasty foods instead.

    So the doctor says the shots have slowed the progression and I am able to go home. We are going to eat and walk around a little and may get rechecked before going home to make sure it has stopped. The doctor said I could be back here tonight but it is a waiting game right now.

    I have never heard that before. I wonder what it is in wine that would cause your uterus to relax? Or perhaps it's the placebo effect?

    I mean... Wine is usually always a good idea. If your doc says yes, why wouldn't you? :-))
