spent 2 days in L&D, good news and bad news...
the saga continues with me and my contractions...
good news: my cervix hasn't changed after all! turns out it's just really soft and the doc who did the ultrasound last week was pushing on it, making it appear shorter  also, i am 29 weeks today, so time is passing...
bad news: i am still having these @#%! contractions and the doctors don't know what to make of them. it took like 36 hours for them to get under control, and they are turning PAINFUL. so i am on bedrest right now just in case i am on my way to pre-term labor. but the contractions could mean nothing, no one knows 
bottom line... i'll be on LIF quite a bit over the next few weeks

Re: spent 2 days in L&D, good news and bad news...
Well try to take it easy  . I'm a week earlier than you and I've been feeling a bit uncomfortable lately. This is my first pg so I'm not sure if what I'm feeling is bad gas pains or contractions.
Can you describe the contractions you were feeling that you needed to visit the L&D?
& when you're there does your Dr actuallyl come and visit you or are you just taken care of by the doctors there in the hospital?

I was on bed rest for 12 weeks - honestly, it flew. Here I am now with 2 healthy babies...they will monitor you and you'll go for a million sonos but in the end it will be worth it. Good luck!

Goog luck i hope everything works out for you..my girls were born at 29 1/2 weeks. So as the days go on your baby is getting stronger. Make sure they give you the shot that helps the lungs develop faster. Just rest and take it easy.

Do you have fibroids? That's what caused me to start contracting at 23wks and I contracted on and off until I went into labor at 39wks!

i have never been diagnosed with fibroids, and none have been spotted on my ultrasounds or physical exams. having said that, that doesn't mean i don't have any. as a matter of fact, i've suspected for a long time that something is wrong with my uterus/ovaries (fibroids on uterus or maybe endometriosis on both), because i tend to have lots of pelvic pain when i'm not pregnant... i may have this checked out after the birth.

I know, but it cant hurt to ask I had them once a week once I came home from L & D the first time. They are suppossed to relax your uterus and help stop the contractions.
