Braxton Hicks - Hicks....(Dr any advice....)

Shelly- I dont have any answers, but I hope this stops soon for you because I know it worries you :)

Im sure those little lady bugs are fine in there- just stretching out to make more room- and probably fighting over the space :) Good luck! Keep resting and keep up the fluids :)

thank you lori for the sweet note. i'm laying down and have had 3 in the last hour....hopefully no more or i'm going to call dr!

Shelly- Braxton hicks can be quite painful- if they get more regular say every 10 minutes or so- best to call the doc..or if the pain gets worse

SHelly, I hope u feel better. Drink lots of water and keep urself very much hydrated. My last appt, the Dr said that not drinking enough water can trigger migraines and contractions/early labor during pregnancy.

Dont worry..and keep ur Dr posted about whats going on.

Hey Shelly, the reading material my doc gave me says to cal the MD if you have more than 4/hour. It also says Braxton Hicks rarely cause much pain. I would call, better to be safe than sorry!

gOOD LUCK!

Thanks girls - have had a few more so called nurse...she wants me to watch them for the next couple hours and if painful or have 4-6 an hour then call back - they'll send me over to L&D. the girls have been really active today - i was just watching my belly move! i think they were having a party, guess i should've turned some music on for them!haha

hmmmm Erin thats interesting - geez i dont know what to do, guess i'll ride it out a bit. that's what i thought too. it was an on-call nurse - not my reg nurse either

No to be the downer- but mine were very uncomfortable- we did go to labor and delivery and I was assured I was not in labor- but gosh they certainly were uncomfortable, If you are worried its ALWAYS best to contact yor OB.

haha Shelly you are soo silly I bet they are having a party.

I hope you end up being fine, but if not I know you will get more answers in a little while if it continues!

Im wishing you the best sweetie as always and keep us posted!

Love ya!

thanks Jolene!!!! - how are you doing?????

Hope all is well with you and your little angels!!! We don't want them to come too early! :) take care and hope these contractions stop soon!

Your welcome sweetie im doing good, waves of nausea here and there and tired here and there, other then that im feeling great.

Tomorrow is 5weeks.

How about you other then this?

YAY Jolene 5 weeks!!!! it's going to go by so fast. i remember the nausea and tiredness started really setting in at 6-7 wks.

other than this things are GREAT!!! looks like i will be calling nurse back - i've had 6 last hour and 1/2 way into this hr i've had 4 but one was when i got up to pee and usually get them when i get up so i'm saying technically 3. i'll be glad to know everything is ok and just not worry about it.

Shelly, I think if I were you I'd just go in and let them hook up a contraction monitor at labor and delivery to watch them for a little while. Its really no big deal to them for you to come in and let them check.. so if it will bring ya any peace of mind.. i'd definitely go!

Yeah its gonan go by fast and I cant wait, ready to hit the 2nd trimester already hehe, but im enjoying every moment :)

Shelly please keep me posted, I want to make sure everything is ok. Just go ahead and call and go up there thats for sure, we want to make sure that evertyhing is ok :)

Love you!!!

Shelly I agree, just go in. They seem too frequent for me and I'd feel better if they hooked ya up to the monitor. :)

Keep us posted and good luck. Much love!

Oh and pack a bad, you may end up staying a few days...

ahhhh...not bad, LMAO, pack a bag. ha ha

Aww Shelly,

The girls sound quite rambunctious already! Already pratying and their not even out of the womb yet, lol! I'm sure things are fine hun. A friend of mine had the same thing with twins... she was on bed rest for a little while and then delivered them right on time at 38 weeks. Dont worry hun! Definitly keep an eye on them and if it gets worse make sure to keep your dotcor posted or go to the ER. Give the girls a nice belly rub from Aunt Keller :)

Thinking of you Shelly and hoping that all is well!

Love you shelly!!

Praying for you love! Keep us posted.

Awee Shelly you are in my prayers..I am sure that everything will be okay. keep up posted!

Shelly- Let us know how everything is going....We are thinknig of ya

hey girls - well by the time i got to labor &del. on fri contractions were every 2-3 min. they immediately got me on monitors and iv. it ends up it was a slight urinary tract inf - the then gave me morphine (twice) and antibotics via iv. i stayed the night b/c contractions never slowed down. they released me on sat with strict bed rest orders and gave me a list to come rt back if anything on the list happens.

i am still having contractions every 5-6 min. but they said as long as no pain, af type cramps or bleeding /leakage its ok. i call my doc in the am and go in for follow up to see if all is ok and if i will stay on bedrest. they need the babies to at least hold on 2 more weeks but hopefully this infection will pass quickly and I'll carry to term. thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!!!! this has been quite the emotional test but trying to keep it together to not stress the girls. Funny thing is they are so ACTIVE - they aren't phased one bit - i think they like all the attention!! i'm feeling them so much now and so is DH!
