Contraction question

So, when I was pregnant with my son, I started having contractions around 28 weeks. I had to go to the hospital a few times to get the shot (forgot the name).

I have been cramping with this one, but tonight I am def. contracting. They are coming quite often, but not lasting long AT ALL. I feel them mid belly, and in my back sometimes.

Ahhh, I know that I should probably call the dr, but I so do not want to do that right now. I am so exhausted. If it was something to worry about, they will wake me up out of my sleep right?

It's funny how different you are with your pregnancies. Last pregnancy, I jumped for anything...this one I am a little (and only a little) less cautious.

Re: Contraction question

I started having contractions about the same time as you are. I've had them ever since and they are just calling them BH since they aren't making me dilate. I think I have an irritable uterus. Anyway, once I ended up with the terbutaline shot and I have had 2 fetal fibronectin tests. I would go in to get checked just to be safe becuase it's impossible for you to tell if you are dilating or not.

Thanks---I guess I am used to it from when I had my son...but I also dont want to be stupid...

I think I am just going to go to sleep...and if they get any worse, then I will call the dr. Thanks for your responses!
