The doctor came in. I'm not dilating. Cervix is long and closed up. Doctor thinks I'm over doing it and it's stress induced. I don't feel stressed but really with no infections, no recent intercourse (ha!), and no activity bringing them on... there isn't much else out there to be the cause. They are ranging from 2-6 minutes apart. They haven't told me game plan but did say that all the danger signs of impending baby labor are good.
She went to discuss with her colleagues on what to give me to stop it. She said there are several options and with me being so early, she wants to peer discuss. She left about 5 minutes ago.
They aren't getting more intense, but I am feeling them. They aren't painful just uncomfortable. Those are good signs.
Glad to hear they feel confident they can get the contractions to stop. Glad your husband can be with you! So glad things are going well. Thoughts and prayers!
No bed rest. They didn't take me off work and didn't even say pelvic rest. It's weird. I got the shot, they got better. If they return I'm too come back

Did you see your regular OB or just the on call resident? Call your OB and ask about rest. I would think if it was stress related, you would Need to take it easy. For real. You've got like 10 more weeks at the earliest- baby needs to stay put.
So happy things have calmed for you. I hope this is a wake up call for both you and DH to start letting some stuff go for chores so you can relax or he can pick up the slack. Healthy baby is more important than a pile of laundry or clean kitchen. Continuing to think of you guys!

Glad everything is okay and happy to hear your H is ready to step up and help. Please take him up in it and get yourself the rest and relaxation time you need to keep cooking that baby.
Hi ladies, no contractions since this morning. Feeling better. I was stressed when I came to work and the girls here were telling me horror stories but honestly, I am doing okay.
I am trying to stay positive and it's really helping me not stress myself out. DS has been moving a bunch today and is very reassuring to feel him. In 15 weeks, I hope to be holding my squishy perfect little guy and have this all behind me.
I had such a great pregnancy with C. I didn't have any complications, I gained the right amount of weight, I never got uncomfortable and delivered her without any issues.
This one has been much different even going back to before he was actually conceived. I had to plan my medications, get labs every few weeks to monitor my chemical levels and then hope I get pregnant relatively quickly before some level goes off and I have to start unsafe mess again. Then I have an easy time with him, just start to feel like I am comfortable and this happens. I just feel so done with this, it's emotionally draining and I wish so hard I could have the pregnancy I did the first time. Fingers crossed I can make some lifestyle changes and make it to the end without further complications. Thanks ladies, you are really awesome!!
