Ugh. Was having contractions 4-5 minutes apart for a few hours on Tuesday. Hospital determined they were Braxton hicks. Since then I've had them 10-15 minutes apart. Not super painful. Sometimes in my hips, sometimes like period cramps and sometimes just tightening. I was also told that if I went into labor now they wouldn't do anything to stop it. So I am on a light duty restriction since I'm already 1.5 cm and 75% effaced with baby in position to go. And I'm super horny but I'm scared sex will send me into actual labor. This hospital doesn't have a NICU so they would have to transfer my baby an hour away if he needed special care.

I'm surprised they wong stop it. Mine attempts to stop labor until after 37 weeks

@ashalay88, I was surprised too. They'll give fluids to calm stuff down and hope for the best but they won't used medication to stop it.

Thats crazy! I was admitted last Friday for preterm labor. I was 35 weeks at the time and they ended up giving me 3 shots and 2 steroid shots to stop the labor. I was 100% effaced and 1cm dialated. If I were you i would request for it to be stopped. Your babies lungs aren't fully developed until after 36 weeks which is why it's surprising that they told you they wouldn't stop it. I wish you the best:) but remember you can always request whatever care you would like

That's kind of dumb, IMO. Like they don't even have a NICU to support pre-term babies or have one that's close, they should be stopping labor. Crazy.

@mmam91, @ashalay88 I think it's cause the birth place at the hospital is more of a birth center and they prefer to let nature take its course at this point. Plus I've had a really healthy pregnancy so far and they know that baby is really healthy too. But it's still scary. They didn't even tell me to watch my activity level. Just said to keep doing what I was doing beforehand. I mean, don't get me wrong, I love my dr (she's one of the best in the country), it just freaks me out a little that they weren't more concerned.

Healthy pregnancy or not, your baby needs to develop more. I'll be praying for you and your baby@marzuniversal
