ok so I have been cramping since last night n having what I thought was Braxton hicks. so hubby planned to take me to hospital when he got home this evening. we haven't had sex in weeks n thought maybe it will kick off labor if this is it so we had sex before we went. I got in the er thwy hooked me up to monitors amd asked if I had sex within three days I said once this evening n the nurse rudely saod well thats why ir cramping. she checked me im still two cm and the monitor showed I was having lots of contractions. I nwver seen a dr just the nurse she come in after thirty min and told me I was contracting cuz I had sex n sent me home. im still having contractions n they r getting stronger they seem regular but I havent timed them myself... but I just think myself that was bs ya know. ....
@mom2be96, @mrs.aceves thank y'all. I'm scared to death of that too because I'm positive for group b
Try to time them if they come at regular 5 minute intervals for an hour then definitely go back
you dont wanna go too late though, imagine going in & you're 7 or 8 cm it'd be too late for a epidural by then
@mrs.aceves, if they get worse thru the night I definitely am. I'm thirty+ minutes from my hospital. and now I just dont even know what to do or what to look for..I have two other kids but Ive never went in labor on my own. And these r definitely real contractions.... I just was cry now.
go back to the hospital & ask to see a different nurse if she goes back in there. contractions that get worse could be true labor & shes just being a bitch for no reason!
If your positive for group b then they just set you up on an iv antibiotic once your admitted
