So I went to the hospital yesterday for what I thought were contractions. They hook me up to the heartbeat and contractions monitor. I have a few contractions nothing major. They decide to do a cervical swab that checks for a protein that's present in preterm labor patients. I get an ultrasound and all of that. The test comes back positive. The night doctor then tells me that there's a wide range of reasons why it came back positive. So they're going to give me a steroid shot just incase I go into preterm labor. But they don't know if I will or not..... I miscarried my daughter last March. I went in several times for abdominal pain and they told me it was just a UTI. Which is exactly what they said last night about the pain. She was perfectly fine and healthy. Which is what I was told last night about my son. My mom keeps telling me I have nothing to worry about everything is fine. And I'm sitting here like how in the world can you tell me everything is fine when the doctors don't even know why the test came back positive!!!! She's had three pregnancies and four live births. Never miscarried. And she's telling me nothing's wrong and to not worry about what the doctors didn't say. They didn't say anything was wrong or that the baby isn't okay. Or that I will go into preterm labor. But they also didn't tell me I wouldn't. And she's getting pissed at me because I'm being so negative when it's really hard to be positive with what happened last time. I was positive throughout that pregnancy and I lost my daughter. How the f*** am I supposed to be positive when it's happening all over again.
85% of women who miscarry with a child, their next pregnancy is healthy and easy. it relax a little but I completely understand.
I had the same problem honey. you're gonna be fine I promise. your baby's ok. I got the shot too at 31 weeks. they give it as a precaution. sometimes they really can't explain why tests come back positive. they do what they can. if they said you'll be ok, trust them. I've been in the hospital 3 times now for contractions and baby girl is still staying put. just relax, stressing about it isn't going to do any good
That sounds like a hard situation and I know it's easier said than done but try to keep as many positive thoughts as you can, I hope everything turns out well for you and I wish you the best of luck! Sending lots of love and good vibes your way ❤️
