So last night around 11pm I started having contractions, but they wernt painful or regular so I just drank a lot of water and laid on my side to try to get them to stop (it usually works.) at 1 they started getting pretty uncomfortable, so at two AM I called my doctor. He had me time contractions for a few hours, and I called back at four to tell him they were not regular, but they were frequent. They were 2 minutes apart, then seven, then four, then ten, ect. I had also checked my cervix and could swear I was dilated. So doc had me come in. This was four am, it's four pm now, and they STILL have not managed to stop the contractions. They're keeping me overnight to give me the second dose of the lung steroid tomorrow morning, but they had also expected contractions to stop by now with all the iv's and meds they've given me. The contractions ARE NOT painful, but they are 1-2 minutes apart. Anyone have any idea what this means for baby??

@eev, if your contractions don't stop then they will be forced to deliver since that is the only other way to stop them. But that would be the last option. They will try several different medicines to get your contractions to stop before they will deliver that baby. They want you to stay pregnant as much as you do.
I'm hoping I can hold her for at least two more weeks, but the fact that they can't seem to get the contractions under control is really scaring me. What do you think they're going to do? Do you think they'll deliver her? /:
If your baby is born @eev they are gone want to keep him on steroids for lung growth and check for any other complications. I doubt you will be able to take him home at first but his chances of surviving is better than If you were 28 weeks or less.
Well hope everything ends up okay! Best wishes for you both. ❤️
Also, I was right about being dilated, I'm at one and a half cm (two days ago I was checked and was COMPLETELY closed.)
@eev, your welcome! That's what we mommy's are here for. To help each other.
