Q: Back From the Hospital....

Well yesterday I had to go to the hospital again. I was contracting every 2 mins and I had actually started to dialate. My doc put me on magnesium sulfate and gave me 5 (25) doses of demerol with no prevale. They finally tried another med and it stopped my contractions for the night. I am on strick bed rest (my doc even gave me a bed pan to use at home) and I have lost my job. I wont be able to talk tonight either because I am contracting agin every 8 mins and I am most likely going to have to go back to the hospital. On a good note the baby is fine, her heart beat is awsome and she moves around all the time. Tonight I am going to have to start steroids so that the baby's lungs will mature and I pray that I can carry isabella until I was atleast 30 weeks. Im not sure if that is going to happen.

good luck hun.. Make sure you drink plenty of water as well... That will help stop the contraction.. I had my son at 28 wks.. With technology today everything will be fine.. Just stay bed rested like they said..
