I think I'm contracting / Updated

I'm only 25 weeks, I'm laying on the couch drinking water hoping they will go away...I know that's what L&D will tell me to do. If it gets bad enough I will drive an hour away to my Hospital and get a shot of trabudaline (sp?) I had pre-term labor with Zoe and was off work at about 28-30 weeks I can't afford to go off work yet, I will only get 55% of my pay.  

Update...
I took a nap and drank a bunch of water and I'm not feeling anything anymore I will continue to rest the rest of the day..as much I can with a 10 and 1 year old. My only concern is I have to work tomorrow, 12 hours on my feet, but good thing is that I will be in L&D if I start contracting again...lol. I'm not having the baby at my hospital because I would never trust any of those C-section happy doctors, so I could just have one of the girls hook me up to a monitor and tell me if I'm contracting enough to need to go to my hospital to see my doctor.

Just a funny note...
I don't know If I ever told you guys that a few weeks ago I was at work and we were really slow so I gave myself an ultra sound, I give props to the ultra sound techs because I don't know what I was doing or what I was looking at. I did it again last night and I was a little better at it but it was probably just because the baby is bigger, he was sucking his thumb, it was so cute.

You keep baking that baby. If you need to go, then go. Hugs and more hugs.

BIG hugs

Sending you a big hug and hope that you stop contracting!!!    I"m sure everything will be fine. 

Thank You, feeling better already.

I hear ya - I am in Cali too and had to go out at 32 weeks. I was admitted overnight for my preterm and had several shorts of terbutaline - and now have the pills to take. They suck.

Hang in there and keep baking! If it gets too bad - just go in. I know the pay sucks, but in the long run it will be worth it to keep baking! :)

Keep us posted

Dawn

Thanks Dawn. I hate the Trabutaline it makes you feel so yucky, but you are right it's worth it. You don't have much longer to go, are you getting excited?

totally excited especially after my appointment today!

here's hoping that they stop soon!! Time to rest and take care of you and the baby!
