contraction pain first trimester
Posted: 05-21-08 14:29pm

I am 17 weeks pregnant with my third child. I have been in a lot of pain for over a week, with contraction like pains and when I was examined in hospital I was told I was slightl dilated on the external cervix. I was sent home and told by a consultant there was a 50 50 chance the pregnancy would end soon.

Well I am still in pain and still bleeding with clots and when I examined myself earlier I could fit two fingers inside my cervix. I was really shocked as I have never had a vaginal birth or been in labout before as I had two planned c sections with my girls.

Is this bad? Should I be this dilated and being left to cope alone? I am so scared about the baby being born at home whilst I am alone. I am sure a 17 week gestation baby will be hard to see.

Can I start to close again at this point?

Please please help and advice me.

Dont worry to soon. negatives are attracted to negatives. Think positive girl! The best thing for you to do is keep getting examined by your doctor. Hopefully everything will be all right. alot of wacky things happen during pregnancyies that no one can explain, and i know this may be alittle odd for you to deal with, because of the concern of your baby but things may turn around and hopefully you will have a healthy beautiful little baby! Lots of luck to you and hang in there.
