Contractions at 22 weeks???

So this pregnancy has been rough to say the least. I have lost weight, cannot seem to gain. I had a subchorionic bleed. I have struggled with dehyrdation and chronic diarrhea.. I had emergency surgery for a bowel intussusception 5 weeks ago... I just got over being very sick. completely lost my voice. I have hardly any energy at all. I am now on modified bed rest and no longer allowed to work. Then today. I have a pinky discharge and cramping. I call the OB who send me to labor and delivery. They took forever to find my baby's heart beat. They finally did after I completely started to bawl.. They checked my cervix, it's fine. BUT I am having small contractions now.  They said to keep my feet up and drink as much as possible and didn't seem too concerned. Has anyone experienced this, this early on? 
I am so worried! I am trying not to worry for my baby's sake, but come on... this is scary. SO anyone have any advice or experience with this to share I will gladly accept it! 

Thanks!

I have been having contractions for about 4 or 5 weeks now. Pretty hard ones sometimes but nothing changing so far so they say just keep an eye on them and drink lots more and keep my feet up when I start hurting. I do what I can with my daughter here with me all day My baby girls have not been in any danger so far and all I can do is drink more and rest every chance I can which is boring and I have issues with sitting a lot but if they are doing well then I am thrilled

 Thank you for sharing! You have no idea how much this has comforted me! I hope that you continue to get the rest you need! 

Dehydration can cause contractions so drink drink drink! And follow their bedrest orders. You have quite a bit to go yet. Keep those feet up and just try to drink as much as possible. Good luck!

That's what I have heard!  I plan to keep my feet up and guzzle water! Thanks so much!

My time off is when my baby girl is napping and when she goes to bed at 930 at night :) other than that I have a 17 year old a 12 year old and a 14 month old that need me to do what has to get done :) so when they rest I rest. I have been doing ok though but the further along I get the bigger these two babies get so I will need the rest for sure :) right now I just enjoy being pregnant as much as possible. This is it for me :) 5 kids is enough and more than just a small blessing and I dont want to push my luck :)

 WOW! 5 kids! I cannot imagine! I always wanted 5 or 6 but I am honestly scared to get pregnant again in the future! We want to adopt anyway, so hopefully God will provide the funds!

How are you feeling today? I have been worried about you!
