Ok, so most of you know that I've been having braxton hicks since I was like 17 weeks. Well, I've been having them today. Now, I'm home from work and they're getting worse. They are staying pretty regular. I have my feet up and I am drinking water right now. I would just like some thoughts and prayers right now. Feel free to give any advice as well. My mom had problems with contractions all throughout her 3 pregnancies. I'm just worried. If I don't feel better in an hour or so I'm going to go to labor and delivery.

Sorry I don't have any advice except to just keep doing what you are doing.....taking it easy. That has never happened to me so I am not much of a help. But I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers............I am sure that you and your baby girl will be fine Smile

Start counting. If you hit/have hit 7 in an hour, call your doctor.

Thanks, the cxs are still coming. I called my mom and she said she would get them like every 5 minutes when hers would get bad. I may just have an irritable uterus but I'm still worried right now.

Just chill out. Most of the time it's nothing, anyways. You don't really have to start worrying until they start to hurt, like really bad period cramps.

I'm back guys. I had to go in to L&D. They got really bad and wouldn't go away. I swear I couldn't even talk they got to hurting so bad. We were almost to the hospital and then they started to ease up. So they hooked me up to all the nice monitors. Brina was doing great, but she wasn't happy about the doppler. She kept kicking it. The other monitor showed small spikes of contractions but they did go away completely. Then, the nurse checked my cervix. I have never had a hand going up my cha cha hurt so bad in my life. I was literally crying at this point. She said my cervix was very high and closed. It being high is one reason it supposedly hurt so much to check me. My doctor never hurts me like that. We were there for about an hour in all. My doc said to rest and drink plenty of fluids and if it starts up bad again like it did earlier to come back. They think I might just have a really irritable uterus so I dunno. I guess we will see how the rest of the week goes.

Oh jesus...I'm SO glad all is well!!!!!

I watch some baby shows during the day and have seen babies born at 25-27 weeks and they all seem to do fine. It's an eerie calming feeling when I see this.

I'm sorry you're expereincing these pains!! I can only IMAGINE how scary it must be!!!

I'm glad all is well!!!!

I knew it was gonna hurt as soon as I felt her freaking fingernails. That just wasn't a good sign. I'm staying home from work today. The only thing I'm leaving for is my nephew's b-day party tonight but I will be able to sit down there too. Picking up the kids at daycare is what caused all this to start in the first place so I thought I should just stay at home today. Brandon is fixing us breakfast and then he's going to go pick up my check and tell them I can't come in.

I'm glad everything turned out okay. How far along are you?

Just keep an eye on it... I had problems like that starting at around 20 weeks, and at 23 I started going into labor and had to be put on medication to stop it. So just keep it easy for a bit :]

I will be 27 weeks Friday. I only work four hours a day when I do work and I haven't gone to class in quite some time. I just haven't felt good in general pretty much this whole pregnancy.
